Seven-seater uses same platform as new C3 with a range of petrol and electric powertrains
The Citroën C3 Aircross will become a seven-seat electric SUV as it enters its second generation, Autocar can confirm.
Brand CEO Thierry Koskas showed preview images of the new model – later confirmed by a Citroën UK spokesperson to be the new Aircross – at the end of the presentation of the new ë-C3.
Little information is known about the new Aircross, but Koskas confirmed it would remain a B-segment model with a conventional two-three-two seating layout.
Autocar understands that it will use the new Smart Car platform which underpins the ë-C3, but stretched significantly to offer sufficient room for seven occupants.
As such, the new C3 Aircross is expected to arrive with a range of electric and internal-combustion powertrains.
It is expected to arrive as one of the cheapest seven-seaters on the market, rivalling the Dacia Jogger (£18,295).
We will continue to update this story with more information as it arrives.
