Citroen Aircross X : Citroen keeps pushing comfort boundaries with fresh updates to its Aircross X SUV, blending quirky French flair with practical family hauling.

Just weeks ago, the brand rolled out a game-changing 5-seater Max Turbo variant, proving they’re listening to buyers craving space without the squeeze.

Roots in Citroen’s Comfort Revolution

Since hitting India in 2023, the Aircross has carved a niche as the affordable SUV with Citroen’s signature Advanced Comfort suspension—those hydraulic stops that iron out potholes like butter.

Drawing from the C3’s cheeky vibe, it grew into a 7-seater contender, but real-world feedback highlighted cramped rears in top trims. Now, with 2026 facelift whispers, it’s evolving into a sharper urban warrior.

Latest Buzz 5-Seater Upgrade Steals the Show

In late January 2026, Citroen dropped the Aircross X Max Turbo 5-seater—a bookings-only special that ditches the third row for breathing room.

Second-row legs stretch further, boot swells to 510 liters, and perks like a center armrest with cupholders plus three-way recline make it lounge-worthy.

Priced from Rs 13 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s made-to-order, dodging inventory waste while rewarding patient fans.

This follows October’s X-range glow-up with premium touches, and a January price hike of up to Rs 45k keeps it competitive against Tata’s Curvv.

Standout Design That Turns Heads

Measuring 4.32 meters long with 200mm ground clearance, the Aircross X commands roads without bulk.

Bold C3-inspired front gets Y-shaped LEDs, chunky air dams, and 17-inch alloys that scream adventure-ready.

Side cladding and roof rails hint at light off-road chops, while the split tailgate eases loading bikes or groceries.

Inside, quilted ‘Advanced Comfort’ seats hug like clouds, with a 10.25-inch touchscreen beaming wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.

Dual-zone AC, panoramic sunroof, and ventilated fronts (in higher trims) elevate it beyond rivals’ plastics.

Engine Punch and Ride Magic

Heart is the punchy 1.2-liter PureTech turbo-petrol making 109hp and 205Nm, mated to a slick 6-speed AT for 17.6 kmpl city jaunts.

FWD setup with grip control modes tackles monsoons, and that suspension soaks up Chandigarh’s bumpy lanes effortlessly. No diesel yet, but EV cousins loom for 2027.

Zero lag in traffic, overtakes with glee—testers clock 0-100 in 10 seconds flat.

Space and Versatility for Real Families

Slide those three individual second-row seats for kid-legroom or cargo marathons; 5-seater now offers limo-like recline.

Seven-seater still fits 444 liters boot, expandable to 1,625 with seats folded—hello, weekend getaways. Headroom’s generous, even for tall drivers, and ISOFIX anchors everywhere.

Tech and Safety That Impress

Bharat NCAP 5-stars back six airbags, ESC, and hill-hold as standard. Level-2 ADAS like lane-keep, AEB, and blind-spot watch join a 360-cam and wireless charging.

MyCitroen app tracks everything from geo-fencing to service reminders.

Infotainment dazzles with crisp nav, premium audio, and heads-up display whispers—no fumbling needed.

Road Test Tales from the Trenches

Pushing it through city slogs, the AT shifts seamlessly; highways beg for 120km/h cruises with nary a wobble.

Fuel app proves 18kmpl mixed, and that boot swallows strollers effortlessly. Minor gripes? Base audio tinny, no rear vents in lowers.

In Chandigarh’s mix of freeways and chaos, it’s a stress-melter—suspension laughs at speed breakers.
