The Citroën C3 Aircross and the Holidays unveil their new design, modern and bold

It was only a short time ago that we had the chance to see the new Citroën C3, which has been a game-changer for the brand in the city car segment. Now it’s the turn of the SUV variant, which debuts a new look and a more modern design. The Citroën C3 Aircross is also renewed in size and equipment, going well beyond a simple cosmetic change.

The length of the new Citroën C3 Aircross has grown by 23 centimetres compared to the previous generation. It now measures 4.39 metres, with a width of 1.79 metres and a height of 1.66 metres. With all this, it can offer space for seven passengers and a boot that can reach a capacity of 1,600 litres when the rear seats are folded down.

Inside, we find the new interior design language C-Zen Lounge, a design philosophy that delivers greater comfort and ease for the occupants. The seats feature Advanced Comfort design and have an extra layer of additional foam to improve comfort on every journey, no matter how many kilometres you cover.

The suspension also carries the Advanced Comfort name and features dampers with progressive hydraulic stops. One hydraulic stop handles compression and another handles rebound, working together to deliver better handling on the road.

The Citroën C3 Aircross is built on the Smart Car platform, which allows it to offer a very interesting range of engines. The entry-level version is powered by a 1.2 Turbo petrol engine producing 100 CV. This is followed by a hybrid version delivering 136 CV. With this engine, energy savings of up to 15% are achieved.

The electric version is powered by a 44 kWh LFP battery, giving a range of up to 300 kilometres. Later on, there will be an electric version that will extend the range up to 400 kilometres.

Citroën Holidays

Another of the models the brand of the two chevrons has just presented is the Citroën Holiday. This camper has been redesigned to offer a camper van with all the comforts needed to enjoy a good getaway. It comes with two engine options, both diesel.

The entry-level version features a BlueHDi 145 diesel engine, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The other version has a BlueHDi 180 engine with EAT8 automatic gearbox. There are two trims available, the Plus and the Pack Max, and it offers all the comforts needed to be comfortably settled during camping trips.

The different configurations available include reversible seats, a central table, an integrated sink, a kitchen unit, storage, and two plush, comfortable beds.
