The recently launched Citroen C3 Aircross boasts a length of 4,323mm and provides two seating options: a standard 5-seater configuration and a versatile 5+2 option, which includes removable third-row seats. In terms of design, it showcases a front grille finished in glossy black with Citroen's signature chrome lining, accompanied by dual LED daytime running lights (DRLs). When examining the SUV's sides, standout features include roof rails, blacked-out outside rear-view mirrors (ORVMs), pentagonal-shaped diamond-cut alloy wheels, and blacked-out pillars. At the rear of the vehicle, you'll notice LED taillamps that gracefully extend to the sides of the car.
The SUV is equipped with a cutting-edge collection of user-friendly technology features, including a standard 7-inch Intelli-Smart TFT Cluster, a 10.25-inch Citroen Connect 35 system with wireless compatibility for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and My Citroen Connect. Additionally, it includes the Standard Advanced Tech Suite, which consists of ESP (Electronic Stability Program), Hill Hold, TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), and Engine Auto Start/Stop functionality.
To enhance customer comfort, the brand has incorporated an advanced comfort suspension with a 'Flying Carpet' effect, complemented by a roomy interior and an industry-leading wheelbase measuring 2671mm.

Verdict
Citroen India has adopted an aggressive pricing strategy for the SUV. While the majority of mid-size SUVs begin at prices exceeding Rs 10 lakh, the C3 Aircross starts at just Rs 10 lakh. This places it in direct competition with SUVs such as the Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor, and others. The standout feature of the C3 Aircross is its versatility, offering a 7-seater option, which could prove to be a significant draw for prospective buyers.
