Citroen India has introduced the new Aircross SUV, packed with exciting upgrades and advanced features, at an attractive starting price of ₹8.49 lakh, available for a limited time. With bookings now open, the highly anticipated deliveries are set to begin from October 8, 2024. Notably, the vehicle no longer carries the "C3" badge, marking a clear shift in how Citroen positions this model within its India lineup.

The new Citroen Aircross SUV offers a range of upgrades aimed at enhancing both safety and comfort. For added protection, it now includes six airbags and ISOFIX mounts for securing child seats. The SUV also features LED projector headlights for improved night driving and automatic climate control for maintaining a comfortable temperature.

Inside, passengers will find useful additions like power windows, grab handles, folding side mirrors, and rear air vents. The interior has been refined with soft-touch materials, giving the cabin a more premium and cozier feel.

We wanted to build on that success by establishing its unique identity and hence we are excited to launch the new Aircross. The updated Aircross perfectly embodies our philosophy of offering advanced comfort, safety, and technology in a dynamic and practical package.”
