Citroen has announced prices for its C3 Aircross in India and it starts from just under Rs 10 lakh at 9.99 lakh ex-showroom. The C3 Aircross prices are for the base variant and the rest of the variant prices would be revealed at a later date although we expect the top-end version to be priced at Rs 12 lakh plus. The 5+2 seating configuration is available for an additional Rs 35,000.

Hence, for the money, the C3 Aircross is the most affordable 4m plus SUV and also comes cheaper than many sub 4m SUVs. The C3 Aircross has a length of 4323mm and has a ground clearance of 200mm.

Deliveries will commence from October 15 and this is a made-for-India SUV by Citroen India which has a high degree of localisation too.

If we look at features then the C3 Aircross comes with a 10-inch touchscreen which comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto while also coming with a rear view camera. However, it misses out on quite a few features which are present on other SUVs like a sunroof or even climate control. There is also an absence of 6 airbags even on the top-end trim.

In terms of engines, there is only one being a 1.2-litre turbo petrol which develops 110hp and 190Nm while it only currently offers a 6-speed manual gearbox while an automatic could come in the future.

The USP of the C3 Aircross happens to be the size and the space on offer vs the other smaller SUVs at this price point. The rivals for the C3 Aircross also include other three-row cars as well.
