Variants and feature list of C3 Aircross
The Citroen C3 Aircross will be offered in three variants, namely, Live, Feel, and Shine, similar to its hatchback sibling. In terms of features, it will come loaded with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a six-speaker setup, all-digital instrument cluster, rear wiper with washer, and rear defogger. Also on offer will be features such as roof-mounted rear aircon vents, manual IRVM, electrically adjustable ORVMs, TPMS, and a reverse parking camera.

As for its customisation, the C3 Aircross will be available with four monotone and six dual-tone colour options. Polar White, Steel Grey, Platinum Grey, and Cosmo Blue are the four base exterior paint schemes.
