Intro

Citroen’s Aircross is set for an India-focused refresh. The update aims to address key customer feedback, adding features to make the SUV a stronger contender without sacrificing the value-for-money appeal that defines the brand.

What’s new in features

The upcoming Aircross update leans into convenience upgrades. Spy shots and industry buzz suggest the updated SUV could finally get some high-demand features. We’re talking about a 360-degree camera for easier parking, automatic climate control, and even ventilated front seats to beat the heat. If these features make it to production, they’ll be a massive upgrade. LED projector headlamps join updated upholstery, lifting perceived cabin quality a notch. It’s the kind of tidy, high‑impact uplift that makes every commute feel nicer.

Powertrain and drivability

Under the skin, the updated Aircross sticks to a proven recipe. The familiar 1.2‑litre lineup returns, including the turbo‑petrol tuned for relaxed torque in the city and easy cruising on the highway. Multiple transmissions are on the cards – manual and automatic for the turbo, with a simpler manual for the naturally aspirated setup – so drivers can choose ease or engagement. The balance here is clear: usable punch, sensible efficiency.

Space, practicality, and specs

The Aircross’s strengths carry over. There’s generous space for family duty, flexible seating with a removable third row for occasional use, and the infotainment you actually use every day. The 10.25‑inch touchscreen supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while a clean digital cluster keeps the basics front and center. Small touches – clever storage, easy-fold seats – make weekend trips and grocery runs less of a juggle.

Pricing and availability outlook

When it comes to pricing, the new Aircross is entering a much different market. With the recent GST rate changes, Citroen has already announced a price cut on its models. This could be a game-changer. While the added features will naturally cost more, the tax benefits might help offset that, allowing Citroen to keep the updated Aircross’s final price highly competitive. The goal is to deliver more value without a major price hike.

Closing note

If features like ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, and a sharp 10.25-inch display are priorities, the updated Aircross looks like an easy, everyday upgrade. Keep a close eye on final prices: if Citroen holds the line with the recent tax benefits, this refresh could be the sweet spot in the range.
