2. Slight price increment expected

Citroen C3 Aircross: what’s new?

We had first reported about Citroen’s plans to introduce new features for its existing products in March this year. The C3 Aircross now gets an automatic climate control, LED projector headlamps, rear AC vents, six airbags and a larger, sliding front armrest. The rear power window switches have moved from the centre console to the door pads, while the SUV also gets a new flip-key.

Citroen C3: what’s new?

Much like the C3 Aircross, the C3 also gets LED projector headlamps, auto folding ORVMs and automatic climate control too. It also now gets the 7-inch digital instrument cluster from the C3 Aircross and the new Basalt, while six airbags are also now standard.

Pricing for the updated C3 and C3 Aircross is yet to be revealed. We expect the two offerings to receive a slight price hike owing to the new feature additions. The Citroen C3 is priced from Rs 6.16 lakh to Rs 9 lakh, while the C3 Aircross is priced from Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 14.11 lakh, before the update.

The C3 goes up against the Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch, while the C3 Aircross has no direct rivals in the market. However, the three-row SUV does face some competition from mid-size SUVs such as Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, among others.
