Launched in 2017 and with 330,000 units sold, the Citroën C3 Aircross he was now the target of the traditional middle-age restyling, following the example already given by his “brother”, C3. And contrary to what we see in other restylings, this one was quite pronounced when we looked forward to the revamped model.
There we find the new Citroën signature, debuted in 2020 on the C3 and inspired by the CXPERIENCE prototype. The differences are obvious, dispensing with the previous headlamps with a format tending towards the square, for others much thinner and integrated in a small upper grille. New is also the bumper that includes a larger grille.
In addition to the new front, the revised C3 Aircross bets heavily on customization, with a total of 70 possible combinations. These are based on seven exterior colors (three new), four “Packs Color”, including two new colors with textured effects, two roof colors and even new 16” and 17” wheels.
And inside, what changes?
As for the interior, the personalization theme remains strong, where we can choose between four environments — the standard, “Urban Blue”, “Metropolitan Graphite” and “Hype Grey” — and we started to have more comfort and more technology.

As for comfort, this benefited from the adoption of the “Advanced Comfort” seats, debuted on the C4 Cactus and C5 Aircross, and which are available in the “Urban Blue”, “Metropolitan Graphite” and “Hype Grey” environments.
The interior has remained virtually unchanged.
In the field of technology, the innovations consist in the adoption of a new 9” touchscreen that has the “Citroën Connect Nav” system and the “Mirror Screen” function compatible with Android Auto and Apple Car Play.
In addition, the C3 Aircross also has wireless charging for smartphones, 12 technologies for driving assistance such as the head-up display, recognition of traffic signals, speed and recommendation, the “Active Safety Brake” system or automatic switching of lights.
Also available with systems such as the “Park Assist” or the parking assistance camera, the C3 Aircross continues to feature “Grip Control” with “Hill Assist Descent”.
Finally, with regard to the range of engines, it continues to be based on two petrol and two diesel proposals. The gasoline offer is based on the 1.2 PureTech with 110 hp or 130 hp and manual or automatic transmission (both with six ratios), respectively.
As for the Diesel offer, it consists of the 1.5 BlueHDi with 110 hp or 120 hp and a six-speed manual gearbox (in the first) and an automatic six-speed gearbox (in the second). Still without prices, the renewed Citroën C3 Aircross should reach dealers from June 2021.
