Some C3 styling elements are there but it gets more premium detailing with more chrome. Size wise it could be above 4m and will be a 7-seater compact SUV of sorts. There is a skid plate too and other SUV design touches as well.

The C3 Aircross comes with C3 inspired cabin with a larger 10-inch touchscreen while the air vent designs are similar to the C3 hatchback. There would be a different instrument cluster though from the C3 hatchback.

Other features include roof-mounted vents for second and third-row passengers and expected features like climate control. The C3 Aircross is expected to get a turbo petrol engine while like the C3, there is no diesel option. There could be manual and automatic versions on the card as well while currently, the C3 gets a manual gearbox only.
