Scoop! Citroen C3 Aircross base variant caught testing

The Citroen C3 Aircross will be offered with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The Citroen C3 Aircross is all set to go on sale next month. There have been contradicting reports regarding the variants that will be offered at launch. Some say the C3 Aircross could come in a single, fully-loaded 'Max' trim. But the latest spy image suggests that an entry-level variant could also be on offer.

A C3 Aircross was recently spotted in Chennai. It appeared to be a base variant, especially because it was riding on steelies, possibly smaller-sized 16-inch wheels shod with 205/65 R16 tyres. The car also had black roof rails and was missing the side body cladding. Also, note that this car was a 7-seater.

We have already driven the C3 Aircross. Our test car was equipped with all the bells and whistles. The base variant could miss out on features like wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and the digital instrument cluster.

The Citroen C3 Aircross will be offered with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine that puts out 108 BHP and 190 Nm. Initially, the car will be available with a 6-speed manual transmission, while an automatic option will be added later.
