The French automaker has confirmed that its all-new mid-sized SUV will make its global debut in India on April 27, 2023. Rumoured to be called the new C3 Aircross, the new SUV will be the second product under the brand’s C-Cubed program. The new model will be offered in two seating layouts – 5 and 7-seats. While the former is positioned against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, VW Taigun and others, the 7-seater model will rival the Kia Carens and the Suzuki XL6. 

The new Citroen C3 Aircross will be based on the CMP (Common Modular Platform) platform, which currently underpins the C3 hatchback. It is likely to be powered by the 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 110bhp and 190Nm of torque. The 7-seater model is likely to get the same powertrain, which is likely to be tuned for higher power. Transmission choices could include a 6-speed manual and an automatic unit. 

2. New Honda SUV
