Citroën has revealed the first images of the new C3 Aircross, which he shares with the C3 sedan the same stylistic identity. Both models are based on the platform Smart Cars, allowing a wide range of energy options and rationalizing costs. The C3 Aircross presents a radical change, offering onboard space extended up to 7 seats, a diverse range of engines and improved comfort. From a technical point of view the new model is equipped with engines thermal, hybrid or 100% electric.
The new C3 Aircross increases in size, with 4.39 meters longto improve the habitability on board, that is 23 centimeters more compared to the previous version. The balanced proportions of the bodywork allow for a longer wheelbase.
The configuration allows you to accommodate up to 7 people, with two retractable seats in the trunk. The design of the rear panel ensures good habitability even for passengers in the third row.
Outside the design of the new Citroën C3 Aircross is inspired by that of the Oli concept car, the French brand's manifesto for its current and future car lines. The front therefore presents square shapes and iconic full LED headlights with both a vertical and horizontal light signature, framed by the new Citroen logo.
The appearance is therefore that of an SUV that adapts to city spaces, with a high and horizontal bonnet, fenders and wider tracks, which accommodate big wheels with a diameter of 690 mm.
The passenger compartment of the new Citroën C3 Aircross can accommodate up to 7 people, but no photos of the interior are available at the moment. Therefore we can assume that the car will be equipped with a modern infotainment system with one approximately 10 inch screencompatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a dashboard with a simple and functional design, along the lines of the interiors of the new C3 andOpel Frontera.
In any case, the new C3 Aircross will be very similar to the Frontera and therefore it is likely that the trunk volume will be the same, i.e. 460 litres with 5 seats and can reach i 1,600 litres with the second row seatbacks folded down.
Engines
There are still no precise technical details on the engines of the new C3 Aircross, but it is likely that the car will be available with fully automatic engines. electric or mild hybrid at 48 volts. Combustion versions may also include a fuel-only unit gas, both based on the engine 3-cylinder 1.2 PureTech 100 HPrecently updated with the adoption of a new chain distribution.
The platform Smart Cars used for the new C3 Aircross is the same as the C3, so it is very likely that the engines will be shared between the two models.
Price, how much does the new C3 Aircross cost
The starting price of the new Citroen C3 Aircross in the thermal version could be included between 20,000 and 25,000 euros. Instead, the fully electric version could exceed 30,000 euros. The arrival in Citroen dealerships is scheduled for summer 2024.
