The Ertiga has dominated the budget MPV segment for years, but consumers are yearning for more than just affordability. They desire features, space, performance, or simply a break from the monotony. The Renault Triber attempts to address this with a third row, but its small engine might not be enough for everyone. Enter the Citroen C3 Aircross, a unique entry that stands out from the crowd with its emphasis on practicality and comfort.
While the C3 Aircross competes in a similar price range as the Creta, it prioritizes practicality over sporty aesthetics. Citroen focuses on features the Creta lacks: long rear doors for easy passenger entry and exit, stadium seating for better visibility for rear passengers, and a third row that folds flat for maximum cargo space.
The C3 Aircross is a true multi-purpose vehicle, adapting to your needs with ease. Whether you're hauling groceries for a large family or embarking on a road trip with friends, the C3 Aircross offers the versatility to handle it all.
Forget the jerky AMT transmissions common in some competitors. The C3 Aircross boasts a smooth and dependable torque converter with a triptonic shifter. This tried-and-tested combo efficiently extracts power from the turbocharged engine, making overtaking a breeze and merging onto highways a stress-free experience. The engine itself might be a tad noisy at higher revolutions, but its focus on reliability is evident, especially considering its proven performance in challenging terrains.
