What is new?

It is an update on the French brand’s current C3 range (C3 and C3 Aircross) introduced locally in 2024 with added comfort and features but the outside still intact.

The updated versions of the C3 Aircross SUV has added features to make a real difference to everyday driving. This includes:

• Keyless Entry with ProxiSense & push-button Start for added convenience and a more premium ownership experience.
• Cruise control with speed limiter to make long-distance travel more relaxed and efficient.
• Electrochromic (auto-dimming) interior rear view mirror to reduce glare during night driving.

These upgrades further enhance Citroën’s reputation for delivering simply more in the value-conscious compact car and SUV segments, the brand believes.

The refreshed Citroën C3 continues to appeal to young professionals and first-time car buyers looking for a combination of practical design and modern technology at an accessible price point.

Other key highlights of the MY26 C3 range include:

• 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine options, including a Turbo variant with 6-speed automatic transmission.
• 10-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto.
• SUV-inspired styling details such as wheel arch cladding, roof rails, and skid plates
• Six airbags and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)* for enhanced safety.
• The Citroën Aircross now has an updated cabin design and modern interior features, like an updated instrument panel with a floating digital instrument cluster and refreshed dashboard design, providing a more contemporary interior layout.

Citroën says the C3 continues to deliver a distinctive blend of urban agility, visual personality and everyday usability that sets it apart in the B-hatch segment.
