Citroen C3 Aircross: Specs & Mileage

The Citroen C3 Aircross will be sold with a 1.2L NA petrol engine, which will be available with both manual and automatic powertrain choices. Sadly, the automatic gearbox will join the list at a later stage. The motor will put out a peak power output of 110 Hp and max torque of 190 Nm. It will deliver a fuel efficiency figure of 18.5 kmpl with the manual gearbox. This is on par with most of its rivals, except for the strong-hybrid version of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.

Citroen C3 Aircross: Design

The Citroen C3 Aircross draws heavily from the C3 as far as the exterior design details are concerned. Some of the prominent details include an integrated Chevron logo into the grille. The two-layer chrome plated design up front is complemented by Y-shaped DRLs with the headlamp below it. The bumper in front gets dedicated air intakes. The side part of the Citroen C3 has round wheel arches and a design reminiscent of the other C3 models. The car stands on alloy wheels, giving it a ground clearance of 200 mm. Similarly, on the ear end, the car has square-shaped tail lamps, which give the SUV a seemingly bigger look compared to the hatchback.
