◄►

Feel: The exterior of the C3 Aircross is trendy, bold, extroverted. And the interior is drawn. One would think that the French designers consciously wanted to offend and be unconventional. The color combination of the test car alone can only be described as bold. (see factory photos). But: It's as comfortable as sitting on grandma's sofa, only without any side support.

The overview in the C3 Aircross is not bad. The huge touchscreen is nice, but you have to be precise with your fingers to get exactly the function you want.
 

Drive: Let's say it like it is: The Citroen C3 Aircross is a stylish sedan, completely free of sporty, active driving requirements. If you really get involved in this automotive flair, you'll cruise to your destination in a very relaxed and unashamed manner. The BlueHDI diesel engine with 120 hp transmits enough power to the front axle via a 6-speed manual transmission that you don't feel underpowered. Comfort is his motto – also when it comes to the chassis. It goes over the asphalt strips with noticeable rolling movements and a soft coordination.
 

Load: The trunk holds 410 to a maximum of 1289 liters. The second row of seats is comfortable, but legroom is somewhat limited. The same applies to headroom.
 

Conclusion: The Citroen C3 Aircross refreshes the city or streetscape with its bold look. In terms of driving dynamics, it takes a leisurely approach and doesn't want to be rushed or kicked. There are other models in the Citroen line for this. So if you're looking for a visually bold compact SUV and are a comfortable driver, you can take a closer look at the C3 Aircross. The price is humane.
