Visually, the C3 Aircross retains the same elements as before. However, the features do receive an upgrade such as engine start and AC control via the app. Apart from this, the rest of the features are retained from the manual version of the C3 Aircross. Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, 360-degree camera on the top-spec and TPMS as standard are a few of the features retained from the manual version. However, the company still doesn’t offer 6-airbags on the top-spec version.

The C3 Aircross SUV in its 6-speed automatic is developed and manufactured in India. For this gearbox, Citroën has improved the performance of the compact SUV with 15 Nm added torque, taking the figure from the 190 Nm from the manual version to 205 Nm for the new gearbox.
