The Citroen Aircross has been updated with new features and a lower price. The starting price for this new version is Rs. 8.49 lakhs (ex-showroom). This car was earlier called the C3 Aircross, but Citroen has changed the name to just Aircross. This is a big move by the company to make the car more popular in India’s SUV market.
Aircross Now Costs Less
The price drop is a major update. The new Aircross now starts Rs. 1.5 lakhs lower than the older C3 Aircross. This makes it one of the more affordable SUVs. The price cut was possible because Citroen now offers a new 1.2-litre petrol engine. This engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Citroen’s goal is to attract more buyers with this lower price.
For people who want a 5-seater, the starting price is Rs. 8.49 lakhs. But if you want more space, you can pay extra for a 5+2 seating option. This means you can have seven seats if you want.

Engine Options in the Aircross
The new Aircross comes with two engine options. The first one is the 1.2-litre petrol engine. This is the same engine that helped bring the price down. It’s a simple engine that gets the job done for those who just want a car to drive daily.
The second engine is the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. This is more powerful and comes with two gearbox options: a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. These engines are found in the higher trims of the Aircross, starting at Rs. 11.95 lakhs (ex-showroom).

New Features Inside and Outside
The Aircross has been updated with new features that make it even better. The headlights now have LEDs inside projectors. This helps you see better when driving in the dark. The side mirrors are now electrically foldable and come with turn indicators. The indicators were previously placed on the car’s side but have now been moved to the mirrors, giving the car a cleaner look.
Inside, there are more comfort features. Automatic climate control has been added, which means the car adjusts the temperature on its own. Rear passengers now have floor-mounted AC vents, which helps them feel cool during hot weather. There is also a front armrest for the driver, making the ride more comfortable. The power window switches have been moved to the door pads, which many people will find easier to reach.

What Does This Mean for Citroen?
With the new name, lower price, and updated features, Citroen hopes that the Aircross will sell more in India’s SUV market.

Whether these changes will help boost sales in a market full of tough competition is something we will see in the coming months. For now, the Aircross is a strong choice for anyone looking for a compact SUV with new features and a better price.
