Is the Citroën C3 Aircross a good car?
The Citroën C3 Aircross is most certainly a good car, in fact, it has won several awards for best urban/compact SUV as well as best used small SUV in overseas markets. It's one of Europe's favourite cars. We received the latest iteration of the C3 Aircross towards the end of last year for 2022.
Who is the Citroën C3 Aircross a good car for?
The C3 Aircross is a good car for urbanites, small families, young drivers or anyone looking for the flair and practicality of French cars.
Is the Citroën C3 Aircross a good first car?
A new Citroën C3 Aircross is a bit pricey for a young driver, but if you (or your parents) can afford one, it makes a very good first car. It has all the safety and comfort spec a young driver needs:
New C3 Aircross comes with 12 intuitive driving aids that simplify everyday life and make each journey easier and safer. Safety technologies include a colour head-up display to keep useful information in the driver’s line of vision, as well as speed sign recognition and recommendations, emergency brake assist, automatic headlights and a Driver Attention Alert - keeping you safe on longer trips. - Citroën SA
Is the Citroën C3 Aircross a good family car?
The C3 was built with families in mind and is highly practical and child-friendly, although a colleague reported struggling to install a car seat, despite the ISOFIX fittings. We recommend you take your baby's seat along when you test drive the C3 Aircross. Three children will be comfortable on the second row and legroom is sufficient.
The boot offers a generous 410 litres of space with all seats in an upright position. It's also low to the ground so lifting that baby buggy into it won't cause any hernias or slipped disks.
Is there a Hybrid Citroën C3 Aircross?
Not in South Africa.

The AirCross has a decidedly Euro feel to it and drives very similarly to its other French cousin, the Peugeot.
