The 2025 Citroen C3 Aircross 1.2 Plus, particularly in the South African market, is reviewed as a compelling compact SUV offering good value for money. It stands out for its spacious interior, practical features, and comfortable ride, making it a strong contender for budget-conscious families. While the base petrol engine offers a simple and affordable driving experience, the optional hybrid and electric versions add further appeal for those seeking more advanced powertrains.
Key Strengths:
Spacious Interior and Practicality:
The C3 Aircross boasts a roomy cabin, especially for its class, and a generous 460-liter boot capacity. The seven-seater option (available on petrol and hybrid models) offers additional flexibility, though the third row is best suited for children.
Comfortable Ride:
Citroen's reputation for comfort shines through, with the C3 Aircross offering a smooth and comfortable ride thanks to its suspension and comfortable seating.
Good Value and Technology:
The 1.2 Plus trim is competitively priced, offering features like a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear parking sensors, and six airbags.
Affordable and Efficient Engines:
The 1.2-liter petrol engine provides a solid, if basic, driving experience, while the hybrid and electric options offer more modern and efficient choices.
