Citroen C3 Aircross showcases French design flair and versatility

After the successful launch of the C3 earlier this year, Citroën now welcomes a new addition to the New Zealand range with the arrival of the all-new C3 Aircross SUV.

This new small SUV is bursting with personality and offers unrivalled spaciousness and passenger comfort while also allowing owners to express themselves with an extensive choice of exterior colour combinations.

Efficient power is delivered by Citroën’s 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Pure Tech engine which produces 110HP (81kw) of power and 205Nm of torque. With the benefit of stop/start technology, it has a combined fuel consumption from 5.5L/100km and CO2 emissions of just 126g/km.

The generous colour palette includes eight body colours, three roof colours (Ink Black, Natural White, Spicy Orange) and three Colour Packs (Orange, White, Black) which is applied to the roof bars, door mirror caps, headlamp trim and centre wheel caps.

Owners can also choose the ambience of the interior with five trim themes offered; Metropolitan Grey ($500), Urban Red ($750), leather upgraded Hype Mistral ($1000) and leather upgraded Hype Colorado ($1500).

The C3 Aircross SUV boot's standard volume of 410 litres can be increased to 520 litres, while total load volume with the rear seats folded, is an impressive

1289 litres.

It also features 3D Satellite Navigation, Android Auto, Apple Carplay and Mirrorlink.
