Citroën's 7-seater SUV now spied in Brazil:
7-seater Citroen C3 could be launched by late 2023
Citroen is working on a new 3-row SUV codenamed CC4 for emerging markets. It is expected to be unveiled sometime next year and could go on sale in India by late 2023.
The production version of the CC4 could be called C3 Aircross. It will be based on the CMP modular platform and is said to have a 2.62-metre wheelbase and an overall length of 4.40 metres.
Spy images suggest that the design of the upcoming 7-seater will be similar to the Citroen C3 currently sold in India. As per reports, the car will feature a split-headlamp design but may not get the brand’s new logo.
At present, the C3 sold in India is offered with a 1.2-litre petrol engine that makes 81 BHP and 115 Nm and a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 108 BHP and 190 Nm. It is said that the 7-seater model could come with a turbo-petrol engine.

The new Citroën C3 Aircross: A larger SUV with electric variant (Europe)
Citroën has very ambitious plans for its smaller SUV. The time has come for the Citroën C3 Aircross to undergo a radical process of generational change. Yes, there will be a new generation of Citroën's B-SUV.
Months ago, in distant India, there was a first sighting of the new Citroën C3 Aircross 2024.
Now, this model has been hunted on European territory.
The new generation of the C3 Aircross, or rather the successor to the C3 Aircross, has been surprised in northern Europe by carrying out the very important winter tests.
Quote:
It is known internally by the code CC24 and is part of the strategic plan "Smart Car". It will be a key model for Citroën to accelerate its expansion process in emerging markets. It will be bigger. It will have a somewhat smaller length than that of the Citroën C5 Aircross. In any case, it can be considered an SUV of compact dimensions.

Quote:
The current model measures 4.16 meters and, according to certain reports, the new C3 Aircross will measure approximately 4.40 m.

As for the mechanical section of the new C3 Aircross, it will vary depending on the market in which we are. It is expected to be available in Europe with a 1.2-liter PureTech petrol engine and at least a 100% electric variant. The electric C3 Aircross will be equipped with a battery of approximately 50 kWh. The latest available reports indicate that Citroën is analyzing several mechanical proposals for the European territory.
The successor to the C3 Aircross is scheduled to hit the market in autumn 2024. The series production process will be carried out in Europe. More specifically in a Stellantis facility located in Trnava (Slovakia).

Citroen’s upcoming Creta rival to have two seating layouts. Electric Variant to come later.
Likely to be called the C3 Aircross, this new SUV is much bigger than the C3 hatchback; gets unique interior.

Citroen C3 Aircross expected to go on sale later this year
Will have more equipment, two seating layouts
Expected to be powered by 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol

It will come with a new dashboard layout, but it does carry over some components from the C3, like the steering wheel and switchgear. While the instrument cluster housing looks similar to the C3’s, we expect a better digital layout than the basic set-up found in the former. The high-mounted touchscreen housing is also different and more proportionate as compared to the widescreen unit seen on the C3. The design of the HVAC controls and AC vents still look basic, but higher variants could get automatic climate control.

SUV will come with the same 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine that powers higher variants of the C3 hatchback. While this engine makes the C3 a peppy city commuter, it remains to be seen how it performs in a vehicle that will be comparatively heavier. At 110hp, this SUV will be a direct rival to the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated variants of the Creta and Seltos, and will be more powerful than the Grand Vitara and Hyryder. Additionally, there are plans to have an all-electric version as well, market launch for the Citroen eC3 Aircross could take place after the introduction of the petrol-powered version.

Two or three years ago, everyone was after the sub 4 meter SUV segment and in no time it became the most crowded segment out there. Now is the turn of midsize SUV segment where two tears ago, we had just the Creta Seltos twins, a Duster on it’s last legs and it’s sibling-Kicks. Now we have Maruti-Toyota twins, VW-Skoda twins, Astor, Kicks and obviously the Creta-Seltos twins. Couple of days ago, there was news about Renault-Nissan developing new SUV for this segment. We have also heard news about Honda, Mahindra & Tata developing Creta rivals. So I’m sure that in next few years it will become the most crowded segment in market.

Will the 7 seater C3 be similar to the modular C4 Picasso Grand 7 seater above? I think so, if it has to dent the Ertiga and XL6 market.
All-new Citroen C3 Aircross spied in winter testing.
- Citroen C3 Aircross to arrive with electric power in 2025(Europe)

-Will also be the first Citroën to wear the brand’s new logo, revealed at the end of 2022.
-The new C3 Aircross will likely sit on the CMP platform, which already underpins Stellantis cars including the DS 3 and Vauxhall Corsa.
-Also expected to carry forward the Oli’s utilitarian overall styling, with chunky tyres and an abundance of cladding to meet customer demands.
- New C3 Aircross is slightly larger than the current model,
with flush door handles visible (likely in order to improve aerodynamic efficiency and therefore range) and a boxier profile.
- Moving to the front, a large split radiator grille is present alongside production-specification headlights with an LED daytime running strip that curves upwards and toward the windscreen much more.

That is one ugly car, i'msorry to say this but " citroen are you serious". Believe me,
Wagon R looks way better than the c3 aircross. The C3 looks good but not the aircross. Let's see if the car in reality proves me wrong. Always hope for the best.

Hope Citroen doesn't cheap out again with equipment levels in the car and gives a truly fully loaded option. Else it stands no chance in the market again the Korean Twins, the Japanese Twins and the German cousins.
Citron needs to expand its reach as well as load the car with enough gizmos to stay competitive.
Mechanically their products are sorted and have the visual appeal to boot.
Third times' the charm?
