Product Preview: Citroen C3 Aircross

Design

C3 Aircross is designed to stand out with its 200mm ground clearance, muscular wheel arches, and large wheels and tires. The car's resilient protective claddings add to its rugged look, and the wide C-pillar adds verticality and strength to the body. SUV's silhouette is enhanced by its neat rear quarter windows that add to the feeling of light and space for passengers.SUV's long rear doors and windows further enhance the feeling of height, light, and visibility, allowing easy access to the rear seats.

Comfort and Safety

Citroen's passion for ingenious conception to ensure drivers and occupants enjoy unrivaled safety and onboard comfort is evident in every detail of the C3 Aircross. Riding in the spacious cabin is a pleasure, thanks to tuned suspension that maximizes comfort and minimizes body roll in demanding traffic conditions and over varying road surfaces. Finely tuned steering and turning circle enhance agility and easy maneuvering in dense urban traffic. Underbody structure and approach angles have been engineered to ensure that C3 Aircross can tackle rough, crumbling road surfaces with ease and climb up or down steep slopes without touching them.

Roominess

C3 Aircross is particularly roomy, with the 5-seater model offering one of the best knee room for rear-seat passengers and up to 482 liters of luggage volume. The 7-seater model adds intelligent modularity for multiple uses, with a third row of two individual seats that can be folded down or removed when the family needs to balance the room for passengers with up to 511-liters capacity for luggage or materials.

Personalization

To enhance the pride of ownership, customers in each region can personalize their vehicles by choosing from a wide range of themed packs and accessories tailor-made to market expectations. These packs are designed to add character, street presence, and value to the car. Additionally, Citroën's signature contrasting roof colors create an eye-catching dual-tone effect for owners who want to add extra distinctiveness to their vehicle.

Citroen C3 Aircross will compete against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Suzuki Grand Vitara in the mid-size SUV segment. It is expected to be priced rather aggressively and will come with a choice of petrol engines, including a potent 1.2 litre turbo unit.
