French auto major Citroen has entered the Indian market with its flagship C5 Aircross SUV. While the official launch of the SUV is still a few days away, the carmaker is reportedly working on a new and smaller SUV for India already.

The SUV is internally known as C21 and is reportedly going to replace C1 as the carmaker’s new entry-level model. The SUV was recently spied testing in the cold-weather condition in Sweden.

According to the spy photos, the SUV is likely to sport a similar-looking headlight unit, DRLs and the signature stooping bonnet with Citroen badging. The rounded shapes of the bonnet are a common detail with the European C3, as is the styling of the grille.

The side profile of the upcoming SUV features wheel arches shod with alloy wheels, a white roof with black roof tails and black ORVMs with a chrome strip.

Citroen's upcoming sub-compact SUV is expected to be equipped with a single 1.2-litre turbocharged gasoline engine. It is likely to produce around 130hp, and the engine is likely to be offered with manual and automatic gearbox options as well. Citroen could also offer the C21 sub-compact SUV with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine.

Citroen is also working on an electric micro-SUV code-named CC21 that could rival the upcoming Tata HBX.

The CC21 electric micro-SUV is likely to be packed with a 30kWh battery.
