The Citroen C3 Aircross SUV made its Indian market debut in October 2023 but only with a single petrol-manual powertrain. Now, the French SUV is ready to introduce the choice of an automatic transmission as well and here’s everything you need to know about it.

Automatic Transmission Details

The C3 Aircross will now get the choice of a 6-speed torque converter automatic with the same 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine offered with the 6-speed manual. This is the only engine option for the Citroen SUV, rated at 110 PS and 190 Nm.

No Feature Changes

Citroen is not expected to make any changes to the feature list with the introduction of the automatic transmission variants. The C3 Aircross SUV does not get any feel-good comforts but still comes with basics like manual AC, 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a digital instrument cluster. 

Its main value proposition remains the amount of cabin space on offer. The C3 Aircross is the only model in this segment to get the choice of a 7-seater configuration with removable third-row seats.
