Introduction
French automaker Citroën has expanded its X-Series portfolio in India with the launch of the New Aircross X, an SUV designed to blend everyday practicality with premium sophistication. Priced at an introductory ₹8.29 lakh, the Aircross X brings fresh styling, an array of segment-first features, and the debut of CARA, India’s first intelligent, multilingual in-car assistant.
Designed for Modern Indian Families
The New Aircross X has been positioned as a family-friendly SUV that balances space, comfort, and technology. With its best-in-class wheelbase and flexible seating configurations (5- or 7-seater), it offers a roomy cabin complemented by a generous 511-litre boot.
The SUV’s design reflects Citroën’s French flair:
- A bold stance with signature DRLs
- Dual-tone exterior color options, including the new Deep Forest Green
- Chic gold-accented interiors wrapped in leatherette
This mix of rugged presence and upscale detailing ensures the Aircross X appeals to buyers looking for both practicality and style.
Premium Interiors & Comfort Features
Step inside, and the Aircross X feels more like a lounge than a cabin. Citroën has focused on enhancing both comfort and sophistication with:
- Ventilated leatherette seats (TROPICOOL)
- Diffused ambient lighting with footwell illumination
- Redesigned gear lever for better ergonomics
- Bezel-less 10.25-inch infotainment display and a 7-inch digital cluster
- Soft-touch leatherette dashboard with gold accents
Additionally, the SUV comes with roof-mounted AC vents for second and third rows, ensuring best-in-class cooling for every passenger — a thoughtful touch for Indian summers.
