​Citroen India has recently announced that they are expanding their portfolio in India, and the recent spy shots of the test mule have given us an early glimpse of what’s coming. The French carmaker is planning to launch its much-anticipated SUV, which embodies the brand’s avant-garde French styling and premium comfort. Later this year, the brand will also call out its plan for Citroen’s Strategic 2.0 Shift into a new plan for India.

Citroen told the media that existing models will get an update under New Strategy 2.0, and the recent test mule spied signifies the all-new glimpse for the upcoming C3 Aircross. The sighting has sent a ripple of excitement among auto enthusiasts, eager to see how Citroën will elevate the mid-size SUV segment. Let us check out the possible details we can get on the upcoming C3 Aircross.

Exterior: A Distinctive Silhouette With Subtle Tweaks

The recent spy shots reveal that the prototype of the upcoming Aircross maintains its distinctive silhouette, which is somewhat identical to the current model. The updated C3 Aircross is replete with the same exterior design encapsulated by muscular lines, bold cladding, black roof rails, and blacked-out ORVM casing. Furthermore, the signature design highlights include the stylish 4-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels, projector headlamps, and rugged bumper.

The Aircross promises a huge transformation inside the cabin. The test mule reveals that the vehicle may be incorporated with all-new brown leatherette upholstery for more sophisticated driving and comfort. We might see that the dashboard contours will be poised with an all-new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, and advanced climate control.

The heavily camouflaged cabin hints at tantalizing upgrades. The second and third rows appear to be receiving special attention, possibly targeting best-in-class flexibility and comfort. Additional features like a 360-degree camera, multiple airbags, automatic headlamps, and cruise control might also be placed on the car, depending on the trim levels available.

Retains the same power unit

According to reports, there will be no major updates to the vehicle's powertrain. The upcoming Citroen C3 Aircross will be powered by the same engine as its pre-existing model. The car might offer a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine as standard and the 1.2L turbo-petrol engine as an option for customers. The turbo variant will be capable of producing 110 HP of power and 210 Nm of maximum torque. The car might offer a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox for its customers.

Conclusion

The all-new Citroen C3 Aircross will redefine the mid-size SUV space in India. With its Strategic New Plan 2.0, the brand will bring major updates to every model under the portfolio. However, Citroen should also give more focus to after-sales services to strengthen the company’s commitment to standing out on Indian roads.

While there have been no official updates from the brand regarding the release date of the updated Aircross, we can anticipate a special launch event in the coming months later this year.
