Citroen also offers the C3 Aircross with a 7-seater Flexi Pro Model available for the Plus and Max trims for an additional cost of Rs 35,000. The dual-tone paint available only on the Plus and Max trims adds another Rs 20,000, whilst the Vibe pack for these two trims costs Rs 25,000.

Citroen C3 Aircross rivals

The C3 Aircross is a midsize SUV rivalling the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, MG Astor, Volkswagen Taigun and the Skoda Kushaq. However, with only a 6-speed manual transmission and the extensive features list of its rivals, the C3 Aircross could fall behind. The 7-seater option on the Aircross is something all of its rivals miss out on.
