The Citroen C3 Aircross offers relaxed cruising ability and promising fuel efficiency from a strong range of petrol and diesel engines.

The distinctive interior has lots of kit and useful family-friendly touches, made even more practical following a mid-life refresh in 2021.

There’s still plenty of scope for personalisation to build on the already-funky looks, while on-board tech upgrades have made the C3 Aircross a more convincing proposition to customers looking for a good family all-rounder.

Small SUVs generally have a whiff of ’emperor’s new clothes’ about them, because they’re usually more expensive than their supermini relatives without offering any more space.

The new Citroën C3 Aircross SUV boot space can be expanded from 410L to 520L when the rear bench is moved forward and up to 1289L when the backrests are folded down.

The C3 Aircross manages to buck this trend. Its wheelbase is longer than a regular C3’s, by around 60mm, and this translates into a rear cabin that could actually cope with a couple of adults for a reasonably long journey. They’re unlikely to complain much even if their knees to graze the front seat backs, too, because they’re soft and squishy enough to be forgiving.
