As a price breaker in the electric segment, the small Citroën e-C3 has already proclaimed a revolution: With a range of 324 kilometers and a base price starting at 24,990 francs, the 4-meter tiny car is challenging the competition. Now the French are going one better: as the 39 centimeter longer Aircross, the small car is becoming a genuine SUV - with up to seven seats. No joke!

The well-equipped and comfortably furnished interior in the Aircross is significantly more airy than in the basic C3, with comfortable seating in the first two rows of seats and plenty of space in all directions. The trunk (440 to 1600 liters) is also impressive. A third row of seats is available as an option - although it is very cramped there, the two additional seats are certainly suitable as emergency seats for the children's friends. As a seven-seater, however, the load volume shrinks to between 40 and 330 liters.

Like the small C3, the C3 Aircross is also offered as an all-electric model with 83 kW/113 hp. With its 44 kWh battery, the French car can cover 300 kilometers according to WLTP, charging with a maximum of 100 kW (DC) or 11 kW (AC). It impresses with its balanced, comfortable handling - and with its price starting at CHF 26,490. Those who do not want to drive purely electrically can also order the Aircross with a hybrid drive (from 25,390 francs) and with a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine from 18,990 francs. The new C3 Aircross will be in dealerships from the end of March.
