The dual-tone option and Vibe pack are priced at a premium of Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000, respectively. Neither of those options are available with the base variant. You can reserve a C3 Aircross starting today for a deposit of Rs 25,000 both online and at the carmaker’s pan-India dealerships. Citroen will begin deliveries of the SUV from October 15.

Here’s a quick rundown of what the C3 Aircross exactly packs:

Familiar Design

One of the biggest identifiables of the C3 Aircross is similar design elements with the C3 hatchback. The SUV’s fascia has similar styling including the sleek LED DRLs and the headlights flanking the grille. It gets a chunky bumper but most of it is taken up by the air dam with a skid plate below, cladding on both doors and a muscular rear end with C-shaped taillights and a massive bumper.

Similar On The Inside As Well

Even the cabin of the C3 Aircross resembles that of the C3, though with some minor revisions. Citroen has given the compact SUV a dual-tone cabin theme while the AC vents and dashboard layout remains the same.

The big difference, however, is that the C3 Aircross is available in two seating configurations: five and seven. The third-row seats are removable as well, for when you have more luggage than people.

Gets The Essential Features

Citroen has equipped the C3 Aircross with a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital driver’s display, five fast-charging ports, roof-mounted AC vents, and manual AC.

Occupant safety is covered by hill-hold assist, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reversing camera, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Under The Hood

The C3 Aircross gets only one powertrain option for now: a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine (110PS/190Nm) paired with a 6-speed manual transmission only, offering a claimed fuel efficiency of 18.5kmpl. The C3 Aircross will offer an automatic transmission at a later date.
