Citroen CC21 Spotting Testing In India: Read More To Find Out About The Micro SUV!

According to the latest report by Rushlane, the Citroen CC21 (codename) micro crossover which is currently in the advanced stages of development, was spotted testing in Tamil Nadu under heavy wraps. The CC21 will be an important product from the company as it will cater to the needs of the people who are looking to buy a car in this segment.

The Citroen CC21 will be a product of the automaker's Common Modular Platform which also underpins a range of compact Peugeot and Citroen products. Mechanically, the car is expected to be powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine that will produce around 98bhp of power and 150Nm of peak torque. Moreover, the CC21 will be India's first flex-fuel engine, which means that it can run on petrol as well as ethanol blends. The engine is expected to be mated to both manual and automatic transmission options.

Further details about the CC21 are scarce. The vehicle carries an SUV like design and is seen running on steel wheels in the spy images, hence indicating that this could be a lower variant of the CC21. On the inside, the car is expected to carry forward the same dashboard layout as the other models in the lineup along with a standalone touchscreen infotainment system on the centre console.

Now Speaking a little about the Citroen C5 Aircross SUV, it will feature a crossover design and will be packed with a host of features, equipment and technology. Mechanically, the Citroen C5 Aircross will be powered by a single-engine, which will be a 2.0-litre diesel unit. The oil burner will produce 175bhp of power and 400Nm of peak torque and will be mated to a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox.
