The C3 Aircross showcased an entry into the flourishing compact crossover segment for Citroen. It’s a type of car that is extremely popular at the moment, as they bring a more upright stance - and a more confidence-inspiring driving position - but with the compact proportions you’d typically associate with a hatchback. 

The C3 Aircross ticks these boxes and adds some chunky looks and a cool cabin. There are also a number of them currently available on HPL’s website - so let’s see what the fuss is all about and why you should consider one. 

It’s got a big-car looks

Citroen’s C4 Cactus really broke new ground for funky-looking cars and they’ve been carried over to the C3 Aircross. One of the most noticeable features is the large contrast diffuser at the rear. A new addition to the C3 Aircross, it gives the whole car a go-anywhere appearance. 

Elsewhere, you’ve got chunky wheelarch surrounds and smart-looking alloy wheels. This model currently for sale on HPL looks particularly good. 

There’s a chunky, well-made interior

The C3 Aircross has been designed for families, which is why the interior is built to deal with the rough-and-tumble that family life brings. You’ve got robust plastics and rubberised materials that, as well as being easy to clean, won’t be as susceptible to scratches as others. 

You’ve also got a healthy 410 litres of boot space to play with, which is more than enough for several suitcases or a week’s worth of shopping. 

It’s got loads of on-board technology

Value-for-money is central to the appeal of the C3 Aircross, which is why you’ll find all examples jam-packed with equipment. This ‘Feel’ specification car, for instance, has luxuries such as cruise control, electric windows and Bluetooth connectivity all included to make everyday life easier. 

Alloy wheels help to give the car a more premium look, while standard-fit air conditioning will definitely pay dividends during the summertime. 

Plenty of engines to choose from

As you may expect from a smaller car, the engine choices in the C3 Aircross tend to be compact and efficient. Versions currently on sale via HPL Motors use an efficient 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which helps to combine performance and efficiency. 

The ability for this engine to deliver up to 55.4mpg combined makes it a very fuel-efficient choice and an ideal option for drivers looking to reduce fuel costs. 

Competitive price

At this time, everyone is looking to get the price that they can. The number of C3 Aircross models currently on sale via HPL Motors definitely offer great value for money, with the latest variants on sale for just under £10,000. 

Remember, all models come with a full 128-point safety check, an HPI data check and a full warranty.
