What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
The AirCross has a decidedly Euro feel to it and drives very similarly to its other French cousin the Peugeot. The one and only problem we found with the C3 surfaces when decelerating and the automatic transmission begins to drop gears. The programming seems to be slightly off here as the gears seem to thunk into place with a noticeable shudder while it hovers in first if you stand still at a red light. Outside this minor annoyance, the C3 is a lovely companion, It accelerates smoothly and is akin to driving your favourite easy chair around town.

What is the Citroën C3 Aircross like inside?
The interior of the C3 Aircross incorporates a horizontal theme in terms of styling on the dashboard and seats. The latter comes clad in a jean-like material. Customers will be happy to note that as a result of the cabin design, five adults can be accommodated if need be without encroaching on the 410-litre boot. Centrally fitted is a large touchscreen infotainment system that is both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay ready.
Style
Many of the rectangular shapes found in the taillamps and rear bumper are incorporated into the styling of the interior air vents, multifunction steering wheel and door handles. On the latest rendition of the Citroën C3 Aircross, the French automaker did a major styling update to the front of the vehicle where the rectangular headlamps are replaced by thinner units positioned just below the daytime running lights and effortless flowing into the grille design. While the silhouette remains familiar, expect to find 16-inch wheels on both the Feel and Shine derivatives.
