Citroen cars in India (5)

I have a eC3 2023 model. 55k driven. Absolutely in love with its ride comfort. It's compact, light and less technologically intrusive, making it easy for elders to drive peacefully. It gives a range of 240 to 250 km on a single charge. Takes about 8 hrs to fully charge on 3.2 Kw portable charger through a 15Amp home socket. After sales service is improvingRead more

I have a Citroën C3 Aircross X that I purchased in December 2025. As I write this review, the car has clocked 15,000 km, of which around 9,000 km have been cross-country runs, including highways, mountains, twists, and steep inclines. Overall, the car has been exceptionally good. The average mileage according to the MID currently stands at around 16 km/l. I live in Pune, where the traffic is notorious, yet the car manages to deliver around 14 km/l in city traffic. On highways, I have consistently seen 18.5–21 km/l, depending on my driving style and the terrain. Engine & Performance The AC is an absolute chiller. The engine is exceptionally smooth and delivers good power whenever you need it. Mine is the 5+2 turbo variant, and I recently did a 700-km run through the hills with six people in the car. Not once did I feel that the car was struggling for power. For a 1.2-litre turbo, my experience so far has been very positive. Ride, Handling & Driving Experience The steering offers good feedback, and the car has excellent stability and road presence. The suspension is, in my opinion, one of the strongest aspects of this car and one of the best in its segment. The car feels mechanically sound and gives you a very reassuring driving experience, whether you are cruising on highways or tackling mountain roads. Service & Maintenance The service experience here in Pune has also been good. The technicians are skilled, and the staff are professional and helpful. The car has required almost no maintenance apart from regular servicing. There were a few minor rattling issues from the door beading, but the service team was able to identify and fix them. A Few Things That Could Be Better There are a few things that I wasn't particularly happy about. Mine is the top-spec manual variant, and I was later informed that CARA and the Citroën app are paid services for the manual variant, unlike the automatic counterpart, where these services are complimentary. I wasn't expecting that distinction. Another small irritation is the absence of a weight sensor for the passenger seat. Because of this, every time I start the car, the seat-belt warning keeps beeping for around 30–40 seconds, which can get annoying. The brakes are good and do their job well, even in panic situations. However, I do wish Citroën had offered disc brakes as well. Features — What I Really Need vs. What I Don't For me, the car gets most of the important things right. I am perfectly happy with a good-looking car, classy interiors with the brown/tan combination and soft-touch materials, an excellent engine, solid mechanicals, great suspension, good mileage, and a strong connection with the road. I am also perfectly okay with not having some of the features that I consider more "nice to have" than essential — things like automatic wipers, automatic headlamps, and a sunroof. Honestly, manually switching on the headlights or operating the wipers takes a fraction of a second. These are convenient features, but they are certainly not must-haves for me. At the same time, the car does have some genuinely useful features, such as ventilated front seats and an auto-dimming IRVM, which add to the overall experience. Overall Verdict As I said earlier, the C3 Aircross X has almost everything that I consider essential and has delivered an experience that, for me, has been worth the investment. At 15,000 km, I am extremely happy with the car. It looks good, has classy interiors, an excellent engine, very good highway manners, impressive suspension, decent fuel efficiency, and excellent road presence. Most importantly, it has given me confidence across highways, city traffic, and challenging mountain roads. Based on my experience so far, the Citroën C3 Aircross X has been a very good car for me. I just hope the experience continues to remain this good as the kilometres pile on.Read more

This car offers unmatched ride quality, strong build quality, and strong performance. It looks great too. However, it's not doing well in India since it lacks many features, and no other car below 45 lakhs can match its refinement and engineering class. Service from PPS Motors Bangalore has been exceptional. It could have performed better if it was priced 7-8 lakhs less.Read more
