The Citroën C3 Aircross brings French flair and practicality together in a compact SUV package. Designed for Indian roads, it blends confident styling, high ground clearance, and a flexible cabin layout that can seat up to seven passengers. The 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine delivers smooth yet punchy performance, while the suspension tuning keeps the ride comfortable on city roads and highways alike. Inside, a large touchscreen infotainment system, airy seating position, and thoughtful space management make it family-friendly and easy to live with. Priced between ₹8.29 lakh and ₹13.69 lakh (ex-showroom), the C3 Aircross stands out for its design and comfort-first approach.

The Citroën C3 Aircross positions itself as a compact SUV aimed at buyers who want the elevated driving position, flexible cabin and SUV-style presence of a larger vehicle, but in a size and budget more suited to urban life. It bridges the gap between small hatchbacks and full-size SUVs, and competes with models like the Tata Punch (when configured higher), or entry-SUVs such as the Hyundai Exter in terms of footprint. The value proposition lies in its ride comfort, friendly driving dynamics and usable versatility, reviewers generally praise its composed suspension and road-comfort, while some owners note that the brand’s network and resale depth aren’t yet as strong as mainstream competitors.

"The C3 Aircross feels solid and planted even on rough highways. Suspension tuning is its biggest strength, you barely feel potholes. I’ve done a few long drives already, and comfort levels are easily the best in this price range."
"I own the 7-seater version, and it’s perfect for weekend drives with kids. The AC cools quickly, and the seats are comfortable for long hours. Boot space is good once the last row is folded flat."
"The 1.2-litre turbo petrol feels strong and refined. Gear shifts are smooth, and overtaking on highways is effortless. I get around 17 km/l on relaxed drives, which is quite reasonable for a petrol SUV."
"I love the French design and comfort, but finding a nearby authorised service centre is still difficult. Citroën needs to expand its network soon. Apart from that, it’s a well-built and smooth-driving car."
"Picked up a certified used Citroën C3 Aircross from Spinny last month. The car was spotless, paperwork seamless, and ride quality is top-notch. Easily one of the most comfortable SUVs I’ve owned."
