Changing the tires of the Citroën C3 altered the car's consumption and efficiency data, making it eligible for tax exemption from the federal government
The adoption of “green tires” and new technical calibrations allowed the Citroën C3 2026 a price reduction of up to R$ 9.6 thousand. The change in the undercarriage was the trigger for the economy: by reducing rolling resistance and improving energy efficiency, the hatch now meets the criteria of the federal government’s Sustainable Car program. With the framework, the model guaranteed IPI exemptions and now starts at R$ 76.990 in the Live Go entry version.
