Ten things to know about the new Citroën C3 Aircross

Citroën C3 Aircross

Citroën  has unveiled their new funky  crossover, the C3 Aircross writes Geraldine Herbert

  1. The C3 Picasso is no more and has been transformed into a funky crossover.
  2. Key rivals include the Peugeot 2008, Nissan Juke and Renault Captur.
  3. The Citroën C3 Aircross was shown at Geneva 2017 as the Aircross concept.
  4. At 4.15m long it’s the exact same size as Peugeot’s 2008.
  5. Inside a 7″ screen controls everything from the air-conditioning to the sat-nav.
  6. Next year, expect a bigger version when the C5 Aircross arrives with even stronger styling cues.
  7. Powering this compact SUV will be a choice of three-cylinder PureTech 82, 110 and 130 petrol units and two diesels, a BlueHDi 100 and 120.
  8. The 2018 C3 Aircross comes in 90 fun colours plus four roof colours for two-tone models, four ‘Colour Packs’ and five highly distinctive interior design schemes.
  9. Funky design is not at the cost of practically and there is a decent 410 litres of boot space with the seats up and a very impressive 1,289 with them down – so more than enough for some flat pack from Ikea.
  10. The Citroën C3 Aircross will arrive in Ireland in time for 181 sales
