Like the surface, it’s a comparable story inside, with our Max Trim take a look at automotive’s funky break up dashboard centered round a ten.25 contact display screen.

Given the C3 Aircross worth positioning, there’s in fact very low-cost plastic to be discovered, however Citroen has finished a very good job of lifting the environment. There are some good supplies just like the financial institution -like cloth on the dashboard, but it surely feels a bit of low-cost to the touch. There may be additionally surrounding lighting and there are labels operating round with inspirational slogans equivalent to “be cool/have enjoyable”. The latter is a bit of wheat, but it surely offers a contact of delight to the cabin.

Though it’s presumably new, the contact display screen feels moderately the final era and the media quantity ought to be adjusted through the contact display screen, is impractical. It’s unusual {that a} quantity knob has been not noted as a result of there are bodily switches and buttons elsewhere, together with for the heating and air flow and to get rid of the warning of the speed restriction (which is way from infallible).

As an alternative of a conventional driver’s efficiency, the knowledge is projected on a beam slightly below the bottom of the windshield. It’s a neat answer that’s harking back to the previous C4 Picasso, and it really works higher than the i-cockpit in most Peugeots, as a result of the display screen is positioned excessive sufficient that you may simply see it over the small, sq. steering wheel.

The C3 Aircross has another ACE on its sleeve: it may be supplied with seven seats. At simply 4.39 m, it’s the shortest seven seat available on the market. Go for the seven-seat model (a £ 765 choice on Max Trim) reduces the boot area from 460 liters to 330 (one other 20 liters greater than the C3 supermini) with the third row, and the third row is in fact very stiff, However that is fairly a uncommon characteristic. That mentioned, at £ 18,295, the Dacia jogger is much more good and cheaper.
