The interior of the Citroen C3 Aircross is a mixed bag, with a blend of cheap and premium materials. While there is a significant amount of plastic used, Citroen has attempted to elevate the ambiance with features such as ambient lighting and inspirational slogans. The dashboard is centered around a 10.25-inch touchscreen, which, despite being new, feels somewhat outdated and lacks a volume knob. In contrast, there are physical switches and buttons for other functions, such as heating and ventilation.
The driver’s display is projected onto a bar beneath the windshield, a design reminiscent of the old C4 Picasso. This setup works better than the i-Cockpit found in some Peugeots, as the display is positioned high enough to be easily viewed over the small steering wheel.
One of the C3 Aircross’s unique features is its ability to be had with seven seats. This option, available on the Max trim for an additional £765, reduces the boot space from 460 liters to 330 liters when the third row is folded down. The third row itself is quite tight, but it is a rare feature in a vehicle of this size. However, the Dacia Jogger offers more space and is cheaper, starting at £18,295. Overall, the C3 Aircross’s interior is a compromise between budget and luxury, with some features feeling cheap and others, such as the ambient lighting, adding a touch of fun.
