Product Overview

Citroen C3 Aircross facelift is an affordable subcompact crossover in production from 2021. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 1.5 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift, this facelift introduced primarily a slight downsize of engine displacement alongside more complex emission control equipment.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Citroen C3 Aircross is hardly the "offroader" that Citroen would like you to think.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The Citroën C3 Aircross is one of the more overtly leftfield contenders for supremacy in the compact crossover segment. Despite occupying a similar footprint to sales chart stalwarts such as the Ford Puma and Nissan Juke, it’s rarely mentioned in the same breath. A characteristically thrummy turbo triple mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, it provides a surprising turn of pace when put to work.

Pros
  • Gorgeous interior
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent infotainment system
Cons
  • Fiddly petrol option
  • Lack of practicality

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
After four years on sale it's time for a facelifted Citroen C3 Aircross. The crossover is the third-best-selling model in the firm's range. The biggest change is the fresh infotainment system. There's a new nine-inch unit, which is both sharper and easier to navigate. The sliding rear bench seat gives up to 520 litres of boot space.
