The updated Citroen C3 Aircross has landed in South Africa to continue its fight in the compact crossover segment. The revised range brings with it a number of new styling cues and a more comprehensive list of standard features.
Kicking off the Citroen C3 Aircross range once again is the Feel trim with a starting price of R399 900. Included in this as standard is automatic climate control, cruise control with a speed limiter, rear parking sensors, automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel.
The range-topping Shine trim, with a price of R424 900, adds satellite navigation, the Black exterior colour pack, an instrument cluster with a white text LCD display and white needles with chrome décor, a flex load pull-out boot floor and dark tinted rear windows.
The Citroen C3 Aircross retains the firm’s turbocharged 1,2-litre three-cylinder engine with a power output of 81 kW and 205 N.m of torque which is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.
For upgraded customisation, consumers will now be able to choose five new body colours which consist of Voltaic Blue and Polar White, Artense Grey, Platinum Grey and Pepper Red with a black or white roof. The Colour Pack is also available which adds a white texture effect to the front skid plate, on the door-mirror shells and on the quarter-light.
The Citroen C3 Aircross also comes with 12 intuitive driving aids that include a colour head-up display, emergency brake assist, hill assist and a Driver Attention Alert. Smart keyless entry and Park Assist are standard throughout the range as well.
