THE NEW CITROËN C3 AIRCROSS SUV: C To The Power Of 3
Date: 2024-11-28
Test driving the new Citroën C3 Aircross SUV, I was impressed with the approach of the Citroën C-Cubed programme, which stands for "Cool, Comfort, Clever". The new C3 Aircross had achieved those objectives and then some.
Achieving Cool with the use of some innovative new materials in the cockpit of this 5 or 7 seater compact SUV, as well as the artful styling that produces confident robust muscular looks. Add 17-inch alloy wheels and dual-tone roof paint, metallic included, and the looks are catered for.
Comfort is provided for, being a French model, they have provided for oodles of space with the wide stance of the C3, the 5 or 7 extremely comfortable seats. The C3 Aircross keeps everybody comfortable with a very capable air conditioner that disperses cooling air to the rear seats in the 7-seater with a roof mounted vent.
The 'Clever' element is everywhere in the C3, form the 1.2-litre turbocharged PureTech 3-cylinder engine, that delivers 81 kilowatts of power and 205 Newton meters of torque, to the high performance six speed automatic gearbox. This combination borders on genius with just 6.3 litres fuel consumption in a combined cycle. You'll find the element of Clever everywhere, from the 7-inch TFT instrument cluster to the 10-inch touch screen with all the accessibility you can dream of. There are the integrated safety systems including Airbags, ABS, EBD, ESP, rear view camera PDC, Hill Hold Assist, and a tyre monitoring system.
But the most exciting feature of the new Citroën C3 Aircross is that you could win this car, just by test driving it at CMH Citroen Umhlanga. Call them on 087721 5705 or pop in at 89 Flanders Drive, Mount Edgecombe and feel the smoothness of the C3 for yourself.
