A car with ATTITUDE

Citroën is back with a bang with their new range of SUV’s in three derivatives – the C3, C3 Aircross and C5 Aircross. The new range brings a much needed burst of energy to the ever-growing SUV market, with an increase in the demand for compact multi-purpose SUV’s and hatchbacks. Citroën’s C3 Aircross, in particular, with its unique styling, focusing on safety, features and competitive pricing, is a stand-out vehicle which is sure to be a winner.

Smooth lines and sharp curves highlight the attractive body shape

Coming in two models with quirky names – the C3 Aircross Feel and higher spec C3 Aircross Shine – both have a 1,2 litre 81kW Puretech Turbocharged Engine promising an average of 6,5 litres per 100km combined fuel economy in a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Exterior styling is nothing like any other SUV in this segment. With a fresh and unique design from the high bonnet line with chrome trim, square outlined headlights, slim LED daytime running lights, a funky grill and diffuser, 3D effect on the rear lights, flower design 16-inch alloy rims on the Feel and 17-inch on the Shine, there is not much to dislike when it comes to looks. The design of the lights are true to Citroën’s identity of the brand, and showcase the expressive front of the car by adding captivating flair with their two-tiered lights – a signature reflecting the identity of the brand.

FRESH, ENERGETIC, ROBUST AND COMPETITIVELY PRICED, THE NEW RANGE OF CITROËN SUV’S IS GREAT FOR CITY DRIVING OR OUT ON THE OPEN ROAD

Smooth lines and sharp curves highlight the attractive body shape, and 3D-effect rear lights bear a familiar resemblance to the C-Aircross concept car while flaunting strength and character.

High clearance off the round, wheel arches with large wings, roof rails that stand out, and self-coloured lower sill panels for protection from minor impacts, are all features that add to the SUV experience the C3 identifies with.

Faithful to the brand’s DNA and the Citroën Advanced Comfort programme, the C3 Aircross SUV benefits from all of Citroën’s know-how and provides drivers and passengers with unrivalled travelling comfort.

Citroën’s passion for driving perfection is noted in the design by filtering all the outside noise which is demonstrated by the following: • Seat comfort – large wide seating provides great comfort; • Suspension comfort – with classic Citroën settings for all driving conditions; and • Sound comfort – with meticulous soundproofing and acoustics.

With the largest boot in the segment, space is not a problem. From loading groceries, school bags and sporting equipment, to luggage and even camping gear, you will be amazed at what you can fit in with with ease. And if there are big, bulky objects you need to load, simpy remove the top shelf, drop the rear seats down and you are left with a large flat loading space. The boot’s standard volume of 410 litres can be increased to 520 litres thanks to the split rear sliding seats, and the total load volume with the rear seats folded down is a massive 1 289 litres.
