Citroen dropped a bombshell last month with the news of their upcoming fourth product for the Indian market. And now, the French auto giant has taken things a notch higher by announcing the official name of the eagerly awaited vehicle, which will be called the “C3 Aircross”.
Citroen C3 Aircross – What Do We Know So Far?
The upcoming C3 Aircross is essentially a mid-size SUV that has been completely designed and engineered in India.
It is expected to come with two and three-row seating configurations.
The Citroen C3 Aircross, built on the same underpinnings as the C3, will boast a rugged design that blends signature elements from its hatchback cousin with fresh bits like a more upright stance and new rear quarters.
Inside, the SUV is likely to be kitted with features like a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digitized instrument cluster, cruise control, height adjustable driver’s seat, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, rear defogger, rear wiper & washer, up to six airbags, reverse parking camera, and electronic stability control.
Beneath the hood, the C3 Aircross is expected to house a 110PS 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. An automatic transmission option could also be on the cards.
While it’s not official, the carmaker could introduce its electric iteration sometime in the future.
We anticipate Citroen to price this new SUV from around Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom).
