Citroen is set to launch the X version of its SUV, the Aircross, in the Indian market. The manufacturer has released a video teaser of the new version on social media, giving a glimpse of its features, from exterior to interior. The Aircross X is expected to come with several updates, including a new engine start/stop button, new upholstery, a 360-degree camera, leatherette seats, dual tone interior, and a better infotainment system. Additionally, it may feature a digital instrument cluster, six airbags, ABS, EBD, hill assist, ISOFIX child anchorage, and a Cara smart AI assistant.
The Aircross X is likely to be powered by the same engine as its normal version, a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that produces 110 bhp of power and 205 Newton meter of torque. The engine may be paired with a manual or automatic transmission. The SUV will be available in several color options, giving customers a range of choices.
The Aircross X will compete in the mid-size SUV segment in India, where it will go up against rivals such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun. Citroen had previously sold the Aircross as the C3 Aircross, but recently changed its name to simply Aircross.
The launch of the Aircross X is expected to happen in the next few days, although the manufacturer has not yet announced a specific date. Pre-booking for the SUV has already begun, allowing customers to reserve their vehicle before its formal launch. With its updated features and competitive pricing, the Aircross X is likely to be a strong contender in the mid-size SUV segment in India. Citroen’s decision to launch the X version of the Aircross is part of its strategy to expand its presence in the Indian market, where it has already launched other models such as the C3X and Basalt X.
