Citroen India is preparing to introduce automatic variants for its latest model, the C3 Aircross. Interested customers can pre-book the SUV at select dealerships by paying a token amount of Rs. 25,000. The current lineup includes three variants – You, Plus, and Max, with prices starting from Rs. 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the 5+2-seater SUV.
Our sources indicate that the C3 Aircross will receive two automatic variants, namely Plus and Max. The new gearbox will be a six-speed automatic torque converter unit, a speculation we made following its introduction in the Indonesian market.
Presently, the Citroen C3 Aircross is powered by a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. This engine produces 109bhp and 190Nm of peak torque, with a claimed mileage of 18.5kmpl (as per ARAI).
