What’s New in Design and Dimensions?
The C3 Aircross 2024 adopts a bold new look, featuring a squared silhouette, a more horizontal hood, and a distinctive three-point LED lighting signature. At 4.39 meters long, it’s now 23 cm longer than its predecessor, with added width (+4 cm) and height (+2 cm), creating a more robust and SUV-like stance.
The design changes also align it closely with the new Citroën C3, though the Aircross retains a more rugged identity tailored to family and adventure-oriented buyers.
A More Spacious and Practical Interior
Inside, the new C3 Aircross benefits from increased legroom and headroom, especially in the rear, thanks to its taller profile. Despite having the same wheelbase as the Dacia Duster (2.67 m), it offers generous space and the option of seven seats—a rare feature in the compact SUV segment.

- Optional third-row seats: Suitable for children or occasional adult use
- Dashboard: Minimalist, with physical controls and a 10.25-inch touchscreen (on Max trim)
