Citroen C3 Aircross 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 new Citroen C3 Aircross is a practical small crossover, now featuring a longer tail for increased boot space, positioning it as a C3 'estate'. It shares its platform with the Vauxhall Frontera and offers an optional third row of seats, making it one of the most affordable seven-seaters available. While the seven-seat configuration is compromised, the five-seat version boasts a generous 460-litre boot, surpassing many rivals like the Fiat 600 and Volkswagen T-Roc.

Power options include a 1.2-litre turbo petrol (99bhp or 134bhp mild hybrid) and an electric e-C3 Aircross (111bhp, 44kWh battery for around 150 miles range, with a 54kWh version coming). Driving focuses on comfort, with excellent suspension smoothing out bumps. Running costs are a major strong point, offering terrific value with competitive fuel economy for petrol/hybrid models and an affordable electric option, despite average EV efficiency. It comes in two well-equipped trim levels, Plus and Max, featuring LED headlights, rear parking sensors, and standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

Best for: Budget-conscious families, those needing significant space and practicality in a small SUV, buyers prioritising ride comfort and value for money, those looking for an affordable electric crossover.

Not ideal for: Buyers needing a genuinely practical seven-seater, those seeking a thrilling or engaging driving experience, or drivers requiring strong lower back support from seats.

Competitive Position: The Citroen C3 Aircross is a strong contender in the small SUV market, offering excellent value, comfort, and practicality, especially in its five-seat configuration. While its optional seven-seat setup is compromised, the five-seat model provides impressive boot space and a comfortable ride at a bargain price.
