Having recently debuted the new Euro-spec C3 Aircross, Citroen has now provided comprehensive details on its powertrain options, including an all-electric variant. The European version of the C3 Aircross shares its platform with the smaller Euro-spec C3, both built on Stellantis’ Smart Car architecture.

The Citroen e-C3 Aircross for Europe features a single motor producing 111 bhp, with a top speed of 135 km/h. It is powered by a 44 kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a range of over 300 km. Citroen has announced that a larger battery pack will be available in 2025, extending the range to over 400 km.
Regarding charging times, the electric SUV can be charged from 20-80% in 4 hours and 10 minutes using a 7 kW AC charger. This time decreases to 2 hours and 50 minutes with an 11 kW charger. Additionally, the model supports 100 kW DC fast charging, allowing a 20-80% charge in just 26 minutes.
Citroen C3 Aircross Features
The C3 Aircross is also available with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine equipped with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology and an electrified double-clutch automatic transmission. A standard turbo-petrol variant with the same 1.2-litre engine is also offered.

Citroen has also unveiled the SUV’s interior, featuring a minimalist design. The streamlined dashboard includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a small digital instrument console behind the steering wheel instead of a traditional bulky design.
In Europe, the Citroen C3 Aircross will be available in both five- and seven-seater configurations, similar to the Indian version. The five-seater model offers a boot capacity of 460 litres, which can be increased by folding the rear seats.
In the Indian market, the C3 family is based on the highly localized CMP platform, allowing Citroen to share components and powertrains across different models. The Indian C3 Aircross differs significantly from its European counterpart and is currently available only with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine. Citroen also recently introduced a limited-edition model, the C3 Aircross Dhoni Edition, with only 100 units available.
