I am driving this car for 6 month. Drove around 11 k. Driving comfort,handling is Excellent. Suspension is unimaginable. I tried other car brands. But to me this car stands tall . Those who are driving enthusiastic u can go for it. There are some cons in features. Only think which i don't like is car don't have cruise control. Being a car which has such a good engine which crusing power they should have given it. Overall at this price tag this car is value for money.
I am getting an updated one this diwali, with all the required features that were missing before 1. 6 Airbags 2. Auto Ac with rear ac vent 3. LED Projector Headlights with halogen foglamps still there for foggy conditions 4. Automatic start stop 5. Hill hold And majorly 6. Rear door window switches at the right place on the door itself And that too on the same price as the older model😍 Citroen is just killing these days in term of VFM factor. I think everyone out there, should go take a test drive and give this company their trust, otherswise we will loose this one also like other legends like Chevrolet and ford😅 And will be left with garbage like hyundai and maruti 😢
Minimum requirements which are missing for Indian customers 1. LED projector headlights 2. Wagon R style handle should be replace by normal door handle 3. Rear AC vent 4. Automatic gear handle should be atleast like Brezza automatic gear handle. 5. Window button should be placed at door. Thanks
I took a test drive of this car and I have to say that it's one of the best cars I have driven to date. The driving dynamics are really good. The engine is so peppy even in traffic it felt so light easy to drive through.
Excellant car to drive. Great suspension , Engine and A/c. Truly comfortable and confident. Bought the 5 seater Max Torque Converter immediately after the first test drive, even though had tried others as well. This stands out.with its esthetic looks far removed from the run of the mill swirling around in the market.
I own Citreon C3 in Bengaluru. Sorry to say that that this is head ache in twrms of service even though the product is good service and spare parts are not at all available even i a city like Bangalore. I reside near yeswanthpur junction railway station and i need to drive 2 hrs for thebone and only service station, i keft the car on 26th June and as on today 4th July i have no idea when they will complete. No commitments from service station. Having Citreon car is like maintaining an old discontinued car you should need tons of Patience and moreover you should not bothered about this car, whether is there or not.
Owning this gem for almost 5 months now done 12k km. Its a steal of a deal car Excellent Basics. Engine is potent and always has good amount of torque on offer. And that ride quality like magic carpet i test drove seltos creata hyrider and carens i just cant believe how amazing the suspension behaves in c3 aircross I have a 5+2 seater, there is always a option to carry 2 extra people whenever needed not that bad as other says All essential features are there, and now with the updated c3 aircross they have added more features like power folded mirror, auto ac, rear power windows, center armrests with storage. Some things can be retro fitted to the old c3 Highway manners is what it stands out 100kmph 2k rpm all day it just glides on road with excellent stability. It stays confident even at 120-130kmph all day cruising with engine staying very calm Mileage im getting 13-15kmph which is good for me Above that pricing i got the top end model for as below as 15 lakh on road and even more offers. Just compare it with lower model of other brands since this slots in that price bracket and you will know how much of value proposition it is!
There is a paradox in the Indian market when it comes to mid side cars. Give an NA engine, its very good for the city, but it let's you down on the highway in terms of power. Give a turbo, you will enjoy the highway run and the mileage, but city traffic will stress you out. In either case for mixed usage, you don't expect a good mileage. Now add the facts of safety, road noise, interior quality and finishes and the brand behaviour and service reach. You are only left with creta and maruti cars. Fortunate but not at the same time.
Good VFM. But automatic missing on CRUISE-CONTROL not acceptable because long drives might become painful. CITROEN should look at the features of ERTIGA which comes at same price tag for automatic with far too many features.
If they give automatic climate control and cruise control then this will be a complete package both help a lot when one has to run on expressway continuously for 6 hours :) The mechanics of this car are top notch so reliability is not at all an issue.
I’m putting this and the C3 into consideration for a new car. Need an automatic for the wife, I want a fun car, it is mostly a daily driver but monthly we’ll do highway runs.
Its mechanical sorted but needs few necessary features like cruise control, proper Ac controls, old flap handles, people dont like cheapness. It feels little cheap.
Sound quality is good, speakers offer good amount of base and A-pillars have integrated tweeters in them. It may not be the most crisp sounding but overall its very well balanced.
Halogen lights are not cost cutting feature, its the sound damping in the doors and engine bay along with features like cruise control, and 6 airbags are the actual cost cutting features. in my opinion LED lights are gimmick its not useful in giving better view and it also obstruct the opposite person's view
In its present form, the primary customer should be sub 4 metre SUV buyer. Who might be willing to let go of certain features and opt for a bigger car. Top end sub 4 metre or the C3 AirCross.
8.5Kms in the city and 15-16@ highway... because of the 3 cylinder turbo engine.... Diesel will be attractive if it comes with a 1.3L multijet fiat diesel engine the sales go high...
Good presentation but this car is not selling for many reasons dealer network, features for price, safety, brand future. Everybody obviously has mixed feelings about this car. This brand cannot just survive on suspension. Car buyers demand much more than what is being offered.

@@GizmoIndia All mileages are with AC on and 4-6 people in the car.I am speaking about the mileage seen on the display. I did not do a tank to tank test.At a speed of 130kmph on highway it gives 8kmpl. At a speed of 50kmph in the 5th gear it gives 18kmpl. In city drive it gives 12kmpl. It’s has only run 1500km. My town is small.You drive 20km in any direction and you are out of the town. So mileage is not an issue for me as I don’t drive long distances. Only 2-3 long trips a month.Boot space with 3rd row folded is awesome. And cabin space is spacious.I am satisfied with this car. As I said,mileage is not an issue for me. I don’t drive daily and I I don’t drive long distances.
@@GizmoIndia But once I was driving at 45kmph in the 5th gear and the meter was showing 23kmpl. I don’t know if that is true. But I think actual should be little less than that.

Hi! Genuine feedback, please take it positively. It was super apparent that you were paid for this video. Am not saying you were, but when I saw the video, it was very obvious. Try not to sell your journalism integrity in the future, your video otherwise has good production value. Oh! Why this car doesn’t sell? Am not a journalist but recently test drove it: 1. One of lowest warranty in the segment. Only 2 years or 40k KMS. 2. You said it doesn’t miss out much on the exterior. Who offers a flap handle in their car today? 3. Did you mention no AC for 2nd or 3rd row? They have a literal fan in the middle. It makes so much noise. 4. Have your tried sitting in the 3rd row? Dude! It is not a 7 seater. 5. Safety? LOL Tired of typing now! Try to reflect and if possible, please take this video down. You have missed on many points and tried your best to falsely convince prospective buyers. Take care!
Power window buttons must be in doors, push start button for top end and door handles must be replaced. Otherwise Citroen cant even cell 100units per month.
Both c3 and c3 aircross build quality is worst we may ignore the fact that most basic features are not present if atleast build is good ... having only good suspension is not enough for a car and it's not that cheap or value for money top end model manual with no proper features costs around 17 lakhs
UGLY FRONT PANEL...Air vents bigger than the Car itself...Change that ...Put in a aesthetic Symmetrical front PANEL...Behind which people can actually sit and drive...!! And half a decent keys plz...!!
I don’t understand why media go gaga over such mediocre product. This platform has score zero rating in safety test. No basic features. There is nothing great about this vehicle. Western market do get a better product from Citroen. Only India gets such substandard mediocre product.

What you need is what you get here. Good priced and fair for anyone who buys it.
Panoramic Sunroof, Ventilated seats, optional cruise control will make this car true value for money perfect competitor for Seltos and Creta

Thank you for this review. I just bought one, mostly for the price. Hope I will enjoy it.
I dont know why they call these cars as SUV. SUV is something which has got a differential and a 4x4 capability. These are at best crossovers.
Needs more, to compete with the rest in the market 😮 in it's class.
I would love to watch your review of Creta N-Line. Finally, someone doing it in details and on practical aspects!!!
Its mechanical sorted but needs few necessary features like cruise control, proper Ac controls, old flap handles, people dont like cheapness. It feels little cheap.
Since it is a new company my concern is about after sales service network, parts availability. Plz share ur experience/opinion
Sir, how is the sound quality????
Sound quality is good, speakers offer good amount of base and A-pillars have integrated tweeters in them. It may not be the most crisp sounding but overall its very well balanced.
Made up sound

Halogen lights are not cost cutting feature, its the sound damping in the doors and engine bay along with features like cruise control, and 6 airbags are the actual cost cutting features. in my opinion LED lights are gimmick its not useful in giving better view and it also obstruct the opposite person's view
Good car but Citroën need to work on Safety, Basic features like cruise control, AutomaticAC, Rear camera and Service centers
Fantastic edit and great explanation 😍😍
Best in segment
Heard they will be bringing 6 airbags in July 24
Nice review. It's a good car and rightly pointed pointed out the lack of 6 airbag as the major drawback.
Yes it should be standard equipment for this class.
They are planning to bring on September 2024
Less specs more price sir ..Price has to be aggressive as they are new to market ..As lot of options in market ..It's a good car but
This is amazing, but can you please make a video on under 10 lac AMT cars in India
Best car 🚗
In its present form, the primary customer should be sub 4 metre SUV buyer. Who might be willing to let go of certain features and opt for a bigger car. Top end sub 4 metre or the C3 AirCross.
Halogen is not the problem. Lack of projector setup is the problem. LEDs are overrated.
What about this car in comparison with Hyundai venue?
Hyundai Venue is one segment below this C3 Aircross but this is as affordable as that and offers two extra seats option.
Super car
automatic without cruise control ?
Check this engine wheter using timing belt or chain. If timing belt will be headache to maintain
No belt. Timing chain hai isme
What's the risk of citroen exiting India. What happens to after sales service after that? Isn't it a risk to buy it now.
Gov rule is there.. 10 years of service support mandatory even after exit
Very good engine and gear box….
The electric steering is a delight to drive. My 3.5 year old daughter was driving on my lap. And she was easily able to guide the steering❤❤
What is the fuel efficiency?
We were able to get 10-12 kmpl with the automatic
8.5Kms in the city and 15-16@ highway... because of the 3 cylinder turbo engine.... Diesel will be attractive if it comes with a 1.3L multijet fiat diesel engine the sales go high...

The only issue with this car is that it scored 0 in safety rating.
That was C3. This is C3 Aircross. This car is not crash tested.
Yes sir, crash test not done for C3 Aircross yet. However, it is still based on the same C3 platform that has scored zero stars in Latin NCAP.
NCAP isn't the only measure of a car's safety rating
It is because of the lack of 6 airbags, adas and iso fix mounts etc...........body shell is strong can easily score 4 stars based on metal quality
No proper reversing light
