Citroen Aircross Receives New Variant

Citroen Aircross 5-Seater Variant Introduced

The Citroen Aircross has gained a 5-seater layout for the Turbo Max variant, extending the seating configuration previously available only on lower variants such as You and Plus. In the new layout, the third row is removed, creating additional space on the second row and a larger boot area compared with the 7-seater layout.

The updated Aircross 5-seater variant also features a rear centre armrest with cupholders and a 3-step reclining second-row seat, which were earlier limited to certain Aircross configurations. Aside from the seating layout and these convenience elements, the mechanical specification and core design of the Aircross remain unchanged.

Colour availability for the Aircross 5-seater variant includes Polar White, Deep Forest Green and Perla Nera Black in a monotone finish. The Aircross 7-seater variant continues to be offered in additional colour options, including Cosmo Blue, Garnet Red and Steel Grey, some with dual-tone choices.

Citroen C3 Receives New Variant

C3 Live (O) Mid-Level Trim Added

For the Citroen C3 hatchback, a new Live (O) mid-level trim has been added to the lineup. This variant slots between the existing lower and top trims and brings features that were previously limited to higher specifications.

The C3 Live (O) variant features leatherette seat upholstery, which is not available on the standard lower or top trims, along with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a 4-speaker audio system. The trim also gains a rearview camera, fog lamps, full wheel covers and chrome body-side cladding as part of its equipment set.

Exterior colour options for the C3 Live (O) include Perla Nera Black as the sole paint choice for this variant. Other monotone colour options such as Polar White, Steel Grey, Cosmo Blue and Garnet Red remain available across the broader C3 range.

Mechanical And Design Continuity

Both the Aircross and C3 continue to be offered with their existing petrol engine options and transmission choices; there are no changes to the drivetrains, power figures or chassis setups as part of these updates.

Speaking about the new variants of the C3 and Aircross, Kumar Priyesh, Business Head and Director, Automotive Brands, Stellantis India said, "Guided by the Citroën 2.0 strategy for India we listen closely, act quickly and build what customers ask for. By moving to a bookings‑led mechanism for select variants, we can align capacity with real demand, sharpen our portfolio and bring stronger value to customers. The Aircross X Max Turbo (5‑seater) and C3 Live (O) are the first outcomes under this approach, with rolling actions planned. This is just the beginning as we remain agile to demand signals."
