Citroen has expanded its X-Series lineup in India with the launch of the new Aircross X, priced from Rs 8.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Following the introduction of the Basalt X and C3X, this latest SUV continues Citroen's "Shift Into the New" strategy, focusing on delivering premium features and high-tech experiences at accessible prices.

The Citroen Aircross X promises a refined blend of design, comfort, and innovation, making it one of the most feature-rich SUVs in its class. That said, here are 5 highlights of the Aircross X SUV.

1. Design

The Citroen Aircross X receives a notable design refresh, most prominently seen in its new Deep Forest Green shade, which can also be had in a dual-tone finish with a Perla Nera Black roof. The SUV's bold character is further enhanced with Aircross X badging and stylish 17-inch diamond-cut 'Quadratic' alloy wheels, giving it a distinctive stance.

With a 200mm ground clearance, the Aircross X continues to be well-equipped for rough roads and urban adventures alike. Citroen's trademark advanced suspension ensures superior ride comfort, perfectly tuned for Indian road conditions.

2. Interior & Features

Step inside, and the Aircross X feels like a leap forward in technology and comfort. It debuts CARA, India's first multilingual intelligent assistant, capable of understanding 52 Indian and global languages. CARA can chat, play music, take notes, manage reminders, provide navigation, and even check flight statuses - effectively acting as a smart companion on the go. It can also control in-car features like lights, door locks, and tyre pressure.

Other highlights include Tropicool ventilated leatherette seats, cruise control, speed limiter, Proxi-Sense Passive Entry and Push Start, and auto IRVM for convenience. The cabin is enhanced with diffused ambient lighting, footwell illumination, soft-touch dashboard, and chic gold accents. The dashboard is anchored by a 10.25-inch bezel-less touchscreen and a 7-inch digital cluster, while the refreshed gear lever adds a modern touch.

3. Safety

Safety takes centre stage in the Aircross X with the inclusion of a HALO 360 camera that offers a satellite view - a feature usually reserved for higher segments. The SUV also integrates CARA's emergency features, including crash alerts, voice SOS, and real-time assistance. Together, these technologies ensure both proactive and reactive safety for all occupants.

4. Powertrain Details

Under the hood, Citroen offers two versions of its 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The PureTech 82 produces 82 PS and 115 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, returning 17.5 km/l. The more powerful PureTech 110 delivers 110 PS, with torque figures of 190 Nm (6-speed manual) and 205 Nm (6-speed automatic). Despite the added power, it remains fuel-efficient with 18.5 km/l and 17.6 km/l mileage figures for the manual and automatic variants, respectively.

5. Price & Positioning

With a starting price of Rs 8.29 lakh, the Citroen Aircross X is positioned to attract buyers seeking a feature-packed, tech-forward compact SUV without a premium price tag. Its combination of futuristic features like CARA, segment-first Flexi-Pro seating with 5- and 7-seater options, and Citroen's proven ride comfort makes it a standout addition to India's competitive SUV segment.
