The cars all gain keyless entry, a start button, cruise control with a speed limiter and an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror.
The C3 is the entry-point B-segment crossover hatch and is powered by naturally aspirated and turbocharged 1.2l petrol engines mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. Interior amenities include a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety is looked after by six airbags and an electronic stability programme.
The larger Citroën Aircross that offers family functionality through optional five- or seven-seat configurations benefits from an updated instrument panel with a floating digital instrument cluster and refreshed dashboard design.
