Here Are The Best Tyres For Citroen C3 Aircross

The Citroen C3 Aircross might have come across as a budget-oriented offering in the midsize SUV category but has already appealed to many with its distinctive styling and comfort levels. Here are all the technical details and the tyre options which are direct fit for the new Citroen C3 Aircross:

• The Citroen C3 Aircross comes in three variants – You, Plus and Max. 
• All three variants of the Citroen C3 Aircross have 17-inch wheels – steel units in the You and Plus variants and alloys in the Max variant. 
• The standard tyre size available in all three variants of the C3 Aircross is 215/60 R17.
• The C3 Aircross is the first midsize SUV in its category to be offered with both five and seven-seater configurations. 
• A 1.2-litre 110 PS turbocharged petrol engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox is the standard powertrain offered in the C3 Aircross. 

After launching the C3 hatchback and its all-electric derivative, the eC3, Citroen has expanded its mass-market lineup with the all-new C3 Aircross SUV. Sharing its platform with the C3 hatchback, albeit in a stretched form, the Citroen C3 Aircross is a one-of-its-kind offering in the midsize SUV category, offering a first-in-class three-row, 5+2 seating layout, apart from the standard five-seater configuration. 

Like the C3 hatchback, the new Citroen C3 Aircross has a French flair in its overall design, which makes it look very distinctive while having the tough, upright and rugged look of a traditional SUV. However, like the C3, the new C3 Aircross also lacks many modern features, and only comes with daytime running LEDs, front fog lamps, 17-inch machined alloy wheels and LED tail lamps. 

Citroen has also made the C3 Aircross pretty basic from the inside, with the midsize SUV having an all-black cabin with contrast white elements. While the cabin lacks many new-age premium features, it still comes decently equipped with basics like a 7-inch TFT instrument console, steering-mounted audio and Bluetooth controls, tilt-adjustable steering and 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Citroen C3 Aircross is offered with both 5-seater and 7-seater configurations, with the latter being offered with a 5+2 seating layout in which the third row of seats is best suited for small children and is completely removable. In the seven-seater version, the C3 Aircross also has roof-mounted AC vents for rear occupants.

The standard powertrain combination offered in the Citroen C3 Aircross is a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, similar to the one offered in the C3 hatchback. This engine produces a maximum power output of 110 PS and a peak torque output of 190 Nm.
