Citroen’s C3 Aircross has been something of a hit among those who want a stylish, spacious, small SUV that’s good value. The new model takes all that and just makes it all a bit better. It has a whole new look inspired by the wacky Citroen Oli concept of 2023 – and Citroen is at its best when it goes wacky. It’s got more room than ever – so much so that non-electric versions can squeeze seven seats inside. There’s more kit than ever, too, and at prices that will surprise those who say EVs are all too expensive, it’s better value than ever.
The elephant in the room is the range of what is, currently, the only version available with a 44kWh battery pack – just 188 miles. But if you think about your daily usage – and this is a family runaround after all – most people will be fine with that and may not have to charge up more than once a week. If you can wait and are willing to pay more, a bigger battery version will go on sale later this year, upping the range to around 250 miles.
