Used Citroen C3 Aircross for sale

Part-hatchback, part-downsized SUV, the avant-garde Citroën C3 Aircross is a breath of fresh air in a market segment that tends to lean towards the conservative and predictable. But despite its adventurous design, the French crossover proves surprisingly sensible, with generous space inside considering its compact footprint, incredibly low running costs courtesy of downsized petrol and diesel engines, and soothing comfort that takes the stress out of day-to-day driving. No wonder Auto Express magazine named it Used Car Of The Year in 2021.

This guide focusses on models produced both before and after the mid-life facelift announced in February 2021 – and remember, don’t confuse it with the related C3 hatchback! So read on to learn more, then check out the great selection of used Citroen C3 Aircross cars available at Motorpoint today.

What engine does the C3 Aircross have?

Buyers can choose from two versions when buying a used C3 Aircross – the 1.2-litre three-cylinder PureTech petrol engine, or one 1.5-litre four-cylinder BlueHDI diesel. Depending on engine spec, either manual or automatic gearboxes are available, both of which are combined with front-wheel drive only.

What is the body style on a Citroen C3 Aircross?

The C3 Aircross is available exclusively in a five-door body style. Measuring 4155mm long, it’s approximately 11cm longer than a Ford Fiesta.

Despite its compact dimensions, you’ll find the boot on a used Citroen C3 Aircross is larger than a VW Golf’s at a handy 410 litres, but upgrade to the Shine Plus model with its sliding rear bench and you can increase that to 520 litres (if at the expense of rear passenger space).

What are the different trim levels of a C3 Aircross?

Pre-facelift examples of C3 Aircross for sale at Motorpoint are offered in Feel, Flair or Origins Edition trim levels:

• Highlights of entry-level Feel include 16-inch alloys, Grey Mica cloth trim, automatic headlights, manual air-con, and touchscreen infotainment (see Technology, below).
• Upgrade to Flair for 17-inch alloys, automatic air-con, keyless entry and go, automatic wipers, rear parking sensors and a handy split-folding 60/40 rear bench.
• Origin Edition spec plays host to 16-inch black alloys, a contrast roof and black exterior trim highlights.

Citroën re-jigged C3 Aircross trim levels in line with the facelift announced in early 2021, switching to C-Series Edition, Shine, Shine Plus and Rip Curl.

C-Series Edition includes 60/40 split-folding rear seats, rear electric windows, automatic air-con, automatic headlights, rear parking sensors, rear privacy glass and touchscreen infotainment (see Technology, below). Shine upgrades to black exterior trim highlights, heated electric door mirrors, auto wipers, 16-inch diamond-cut alloys and sat-nav, while Shine Plus adds 17-inch diamond-cut alloys, keyless entry and Citroën Advanced Comfort seats with a passenger seat that folds completely flat to maximise load-carrying capacity. Spot Rip Curl models by their 17-inch black alloy wheels, unique graphics, opening panoramic roof with sunblind, a rear bench that slides back and forth by up to 150mm, plus an upgraded hi-fi system.

What technology will I find in my C3 Aircross?

Pre-facelift examples are equipped with a 7.0-inch touchscreen as standard, which features DAB radio, Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, though you’ll need Flair or Origins trims to get sat-nav.

Post-facelift models upgrade to a 9.0-inch touchscreen with DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, with second-tier Shine trim and above unlocking Citroën Connect Navigation. At the top of the range, the Rip Curl model adds a 3.5-inch digital instrument cluster positioned between analogue dials and there’s also a head-up display.

Driver-assist features include Lane-Departure Warning, Traffic Sign & Speed Limit Recognition, Cruise Control with Speed Limiter and Coffee Break Alert.
