An suv with an assertive and customisable personality

The New Citroën C3 Aircross is a compact 4.15-m long SUV distinguished by its powerful, original and fresh attitude. It boasts unique body styling fully representative of new Citroën models and all the attributes of a robust and protective SUV, including raised ground clearance, a high-set driving position, front and rear skid plates, large wheels and wing extenders. The body styling with its generous forms is underscored by strong graphic features such as touches of colour on the roof bars and “Venetian blind” rear quarterlights.

The C3 Aircross offers a unique and unprecedented personalisation offer comprising 85 exterior combinations, including three roof colours for two-tone models and four Colour Packs, along with five highly distinctive interior design schemes. The cabin, with its horizontal design approach, clearly conveys spaciousness and protection.

The C3 Aircross is also very much an SUV in terms of driving pleasure and handling. Nimble in the city owing to its compact body and ready for adventure with its Grip Control and Hill Assist

® Descent systems, the C3 Aircross is available with a broad selection of frugal and efficient PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel engines bringing occupants driving pleasure, economy and environmental respect. (The PureTech engine won the “International Engine of the Year” award in 2015, 2016 and 2017.)

The Citroën Advanced Comfort programme, focused on mental and physical well-being, informs the practical and generous personality of the new-generation compact SUV.

Travelling well-being is also conferred by a light-bathed cabin thanks to the large opening panoramic glass sunroof.

It is available with a complete range of driver assistance systems, such as head-up display, the Active Safety Brake function, automatic high-beam lights, speed sign recognition with recommendations, as well as useful technologies including Park Assist and Citroën Connect Nav.
