Citroen C3 Aircross: Powertrain

Under the hood, the C3 Aircross is likely to be powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which will be mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine is expected to produce 110 PS of maximum power and 205 Nm of peak torque.

The Citroen C3 Aircross is based on the company’s new Common Modular Platform (CMP), which also underpins the Citroen C5 Aircross. The SUV is expected to come with a host of safety features such as ABS with EBD, traction control, hill hold assist, and multiple airbags.

The C3 Aircross is expected to compete with other compact SUVs in the Indian market such as the Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, and the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.

With the launch of the C3 Aircross, Citroen aims to establish itself as a major player in the Indian automotive market. The company has invested heavily in setting up a manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu and has also established a strong dealer network across the country. The C3 Aircross is expected to be followed by several other models from Citroen in the coming years, including a new sedan and a compact SUV.
