Pros and Cons

Kia Seltos

  • Still a very good looking Crossover
  • new DRLs and connected taillamps look fab. 18-inch alloys now in both X-line and GTX+ variants
  • ADAS 2.0
  • panoramic sunroof and dual zone climate control. New more powerful turbo petrol. Plenty of drivetrain options including a diesel engine.

Kia Seltos

  • Prices will go up. Some could feel that the visual changes are not enough.

    An Adventurous Day Out with Citroen C3 Aircross 

    I recently picked up the Citroen C3 Aircross and set out with the family for a day trip to Agra. The drive was really smooth. The 7 seater configuration was ideal for the whole family and the panoramic sunroof made the journey even more beautiful. The Aircross handled the potholed roads and occasional off roads really well all thanks to its 200 mm ground clearance. However, the fuel efficiency of 11-12 km/l was slightly disappointing, considering we were mostly on highways.

    unmatchable quality 

    An excellent looking four wheeler model, with an enough capacity for five members, the citroen c3 aircross ranges from an affordable range. Transmission type is automatic, making it easier to drive. Best part about it is that it has a NCAP rating of 5. This adds much credibility to the model. Height is convenient and the ground clearance is also good. The quality and comfort levels are unmatchable.

    Citroen C3 Aircross: French Flair with Practical C 

    After clocking over 5,000 kilometers in my Citroen C3 Aircross it is been a mixed bag of French flair and practical challenges. Its 1.2 liter turbo petrol engine offers adequate performance posting around 110 PS and the ride comfort is quite good with well tuned suspension handling India's varied destination effectively. Its price tag feels a bit unfair considering the features and space limitations. The C3 Aircross is a bold attempt but a few improvements could really boost its appeal to the Indian market.

    Citroen C3 Aircross: French Flair Meets Practicali 

    Having driven the Citroen C3 Aircross for a few months now it is quirky design and comfort focused drive stand out. The suspension is tuned to iron out most road imperfections typical of Indian roads making every journey smoother. It is large interior with a cleverly designed boot allows for sufficient luggage a advantage for family outings. One unsatisfied point though is the engine noise under hard acceleration which becomes pronounced somewhat taking away from the otherwise quite cabin experience. The lack of some advanced safety features which are becoming standard in competing brands is also felt.

    Compact SUV with French Flair 

    I've been fully enamored with the Citroen C3 Aircross ever since I laid eyes on it because of its special, enterprising appearance that makes it sit out from the competition. It really turns heads on the road because to its striking front fascia and muscular lines, which convey a feeling of continuity and capability. I was ate with a roomy and canny cabin as soon as I stepped outdoors, with enough of space for my guests' legs and heads. Driving is enjoyable because to the font- allowed- out cabin and simple layout, and the cornucopia of storage space makes sure I'm always prepared for any excursion. Whether I'm riding on off- the- beaten- path terrain or through cosmopolises, the C3 Aircross handles well and provides a comfortable and pleasurable assist.
