Worth The Hype?

CITROEN C3 AIRCROSS
Worth The Hype?

Citroen has launched the much-awaited C3 Aircross, and I have to admit I had high hopes after witnessing this vehicle in Delhi during its unveiling. Citroen has a lot riding on the C3 Aircross since it could be the vehicle that makes them mainstream. The French manufacturer has been struggling to make waves in India, and after a rocky start with the C5 and gaining some mild popularity with the C3, the C3 Aircross aims to propel the brand further into success. Given how popular and competitive the mid-size SUV segment happens to be, Citroen either has to bring its A-game or undercut all of its competitors.

THE LOOKS

If it isn't apparent enough, I'm happy to report the C3 Aircross looks stunning. It's beautifully proportioned, and for something that can potentially accommodate seven passengers, it looks rather attractive. The muscular lines and creases make the C3 Aircross stand out and look like nothing else in its segment. The signature "Y" shaped DRL instantly makes it recognisable as a Citroen, and the muscular front and rear wheel arches give this SUV the appearance of having a wider track than it does. The headlamps and taillights aren't LED, which is perhaps done to keep costs at a minimum, though I think LEDs would have added more to the appeal. As alluring as the lines on the C3 Aircross are, the choice of colours is rather dull. You've got the same old two shades of grey, white and dark denim blue that look decent but not stunning and fail to do justice to the overall styling, in my opinion.
