French car maker Citroen has launched the much-anticipated C3 Aircross Automatic (AT) at a starting price of Rs 12.85 lakh, ex-showroom, making it the most budget-friendly automatic midsize SUV available in India. The C3 Aircross AT is the first automatic transmission model based on the company’s C-cubed platform.
This SUV is offered in two variants namely, Plus and Max, available in both five- and seven-seater configurations. Bookings for the model can be done for a nominal token amount of Rs 25,000.
Powering the C3 Aircross AT is the familiar 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol motor that makes 110 hp and 190 Nm of peak torque. However, the SUV now delivers more torque as compared to its ICE counterpart with its power figures now at 110 hp and 215 Nm. For transmission duties, it employs a 6-speed torque converter which does get manual mode, but without paddle shifters. Further, the SUV comes with an ARAI-certified mileage of up to 17.6 kmpl.
