The Citroen C3 Aircross is getting an update at the end of this month with the addition of an automatic transmission (AT). The official launch is set for January 29, and dealerships have already received the automatic variants for display. Moreover, bookings are being accepted offline at various Citroen dealerships in India.
No major changes in features
The interior of the AT variants remains the same as the manual version, except for the presence of the automatic transmission lever. The C3 Aircross will now have a 6-speed torque converter automatic paired with its 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine (110 PS/190 Nm). Currently, the C3 Aircross is only offered with a manual transmission.
Apart from the automatic transmission, no other feature changes are expected. The SUV comes with a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital driver’s display, steering-mounted audio controls, and manual AC with dedicated vents for the third row.

Safety features include dual front airbags, hill-hold assist, electronic stability control (ESC), a rearview camera, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

The current price ranges from INR 999,000 to INR 127,500 (ex-showroom Delhi).
