Overview
CITROEN has been waiting a while to relaunch itself in Australia with the C3 Aircross small SUV, but it’s finally here. Better yet, it is shaping up as the French brand’s best-selling model Down Under – at least until the one-size-larger C5 Aircross launches later this year.
Needless to say, the C3 Aircross has to be good if Citroen is going to be relevant again locally, and given it is closely related to the C3 light hatch that has disappointed on the sales charts since its arrival, things could be tough for the crossover.
So, does the C3 Aircross have what it takes to not only be a significant player in the fastest-growing segment in Australia, but to return Citroen to its former glory? We’ve put the single-grade model through its paces to see how it stacks up.
