Citroen C3 Aircross (2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent ride quality	Optional third-row seating is cramped
Smart dashboard design	Engine can get noisy in petrol versions
Great value	Not particularly involving to drive

Quick Summary

The Citroen C3 Aircross (2025) is a small yet practical crossover, now offering a distinct identity from the standard C3. It features a longer tail end for increased boot space (460 litres in five-seat form), making it akin to a C3 'estate'. A key offering is the optional third row of seats, positioning it as one of the cheapest seven-seaters available, though the third row is best avoided for regular adult use. This places it squarely against rivals like the Dacia Jogger, Skoda Kamiq, and Renault Captur, targeting cash-conscious family buyers seeking maximum space and practicality.

Powering the C3 Aircross are options including a 99bhp 1.2-litre turbo petrol, a 134bhp mild hybrid with an automatic gearbox, and a 111bhp electric e-C3 Aircross offering around 150 miles of real-world range. Its standout feature is an excellent ride quality, thanks to Citroen’s clever suspension, providing comfort typically found in larger, more expensive cars. Available in two well-equipped trim levels (Plus and Max), it includes standard features like LED headlights, alloy wheels, and a reversing camera. The C3 Aircross's trump card is its affordability, making it one of the most budget-friendly new cars on sale, with good fuel economy for petrol/hybrid models (40-50mpg) and compelling value for the electric version.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a practical and comfortable small family car, or an affordable crossover with optional seven seats (in five-seat form, it's brilliant).

Not ideal for: Buyers needing a genuinely spacious seven-seater, prioritising thrilling driving dynamics, or wanting an EV with a longer range.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the C3 Aircross if: You're on a budget, seeking a practical and comfortable small family car, or need an affordable crossover with optional seven seats (in five-seat form, it's brilliant).

Consider alternatives if: You need a genuinely spacious seven-seater, prioritise thrilling driving dynamics, or want an EV with a longer range.

Competitive Position: The Citroen C3 Aircross stands out in the compact crossover market for its exceptional value, comfort-focused ride, and impressive practicality, especially in five-seat configuration. While the optional seven-seat layout is compromised and driving dynamics aren't its strongest suit, its affordability and choice of petrol or electric powertrains make it a compelling option for budget-conscious families.
