All cars except the C3 Aircross provide automatic options with the Creta providing the most number with CVT and DCT plus torque converter.
Verdict
It is clear that the Citroen C3 Aircross is not a Creta rival in terms of features or performance it is closer to the Ertiga in terms of being a three-row car but the Ertiga has a proper third row while the C3 is more of a 5+2. Hence, the Citroen is a budget SUV that is aimed at those who want the SUV to look at a low price.
