Citroen C3 Aircross – The 7-Seater Creta Rival To Be Unveiled On April 27

Citroen recently announced the global unveiling of its latest 3-row SUV based on the Citroen C3 hatchback. Moreover, this upcoming SUV has been scheduled to be unveiled in India on April 27.

This upcoming Citroen SUV is likely to be called 'Citroen C3 Aircross' and it will be made available in both 5-seater and 7-seater variants. In addition to that, the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross has been spied testing numerous times in India.

Citroen C3 - Front

Though Citroen is being tight-lipped about the whereabouts of the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross, this upcoming SUV has been completely designed and engineered in India. Furthermore, the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross will compete against C-segment SUVs in India.

This means the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross will compete against the likes of Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, and MG Astor in India.

Citroen C3 - Interior

Though the competition might seem tough for the upcoming French SUV, the Citroen C3 Aircross comes with a unique offering that none of its rivals possesses at the moment. This is the 3rd-row seating option, and we expect this feature to attract a lot of buyers.

However, the 3rd-row seating option alone will not guarantee the success of the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross in India. For that, Citroen must equip the model well and also improve the 'Premium' factor of the interior to attract buyers.

Citroen C3 - Side

That being said, the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross is expected to be powered by the same 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that powers the C3 hatchback. However, we expect Citroen to have reworked the gear ratios to suit the 3-row configuration.

Gearbox option on the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross is likely to include tried-and-tested 6-speed manual transmission and a new 6-speed torque converter gearbox. The latter is expected to make its debut in the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross.


Thoughts About The Upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross

We expect the upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross to be a crucial product for the French car manufacturer in India as cracking the C-Segment will help Citroen significantly boost its sales compared to other car segments in India.
