With its sharp, boxy silhouette and distinctive design elements, the 2025 Citroën C3 Aircross cuts a unique figure in the crowded SUV market. The split headlamp setup, iconic Y-shaped LED DRLs, tall front profile, and sculpted wheel arches lend it a strong road presence. Available in both 5-seater and 7-seater versions, it merges urban sophistication with rugged SUV aesthetics. Color-contrasting roof and accents further enhance its appeal to young, style-conscious buyers.
Turbo Petrol Engine with Punchy Performance
At its heart, the C3 Aircross is powered by a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 110 PS of power and 190 Nm of torque. Mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, this setup ensures zippy performance in city traffic while maintaining decent efficiency on highways. An automatic variant is anticipated soon, offering more convenience for daily commuters.
Flexible 7-Seater Setup with Class-Leading Boot Space
A standout feature of this compact SUV is its 5+2 seating flexibility. The removable third-row seats allow owners to maximize cargo space—up to 511 litres with the last row taken out. Whether it’s a family trip or a large grocery haul, this adaptability makes the C3 Aircross ideal for multiple lifestyle needs.
Comfortable Interior with Practical Features
Inside, the SUV houses a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a fully digital instrument cluster, and roof-mounted AC vents for rear passengers. The seats are supportive, and Citroën’s globally admired suspension setup delivers a smooth, cushiony ride, especially over rough or broken roads. While it misses out on a sunroof or automatic climate control, the overall comfort level rivals more expensive models.
Safety with a Focus on Essentials
The C3 Aircross comes with essential safety gear like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, hill hold assist, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). While not overloaded with flashy features, it focuses on delivering a structurally sound and practical driving experience.
Mileage & Value-Priced Variants
The turbo petrol engine returns a fuel efficiency of around 18.5 km/l, placing it among the more efficient 7-seaters in India. Priced between ₹9.99 lakh to ₹12.65 lakh (ex-showroom), the C3 Aircross delivers exceptional value, especially for families wanting a versatile SUV without stretching their budget.
