Citroen C-Aircross set to debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Currently in
concept form, it offers a preview of the next generation C3 Picasso, which is
making a transition from MPV to SUV, and is expected to go on sale later this
year.
Measuring 4.15m long, 1.74m wide and 1.63m tall, it's quite similar to the Nissan Juke in size.
It's inspired by the latest generation C3, and by the C4
Cactus as well. Features include a raised bonnet, front & rear protective
shields, wheel arch extensions, DRLs integrated into the grille, front bumper
air inlets, air outlets built into the side door guards, and a rear diffuser.
The new Citroen C-Aircross Concept also comes with
two side cameras that replace the exterior mirrors, panoramic sunroof,
rear-hinged doors at the rear for better accessibility (inspired by the
Aircross and CXperience concepts), plus a futuristic-looking cabin, with a
grey-orange color scheme, single-spoke steering wheel, head-up vision display,
and a 12-inch central touchscreen.
Other features such as 3D connected navigation
system with voice recognition, Mirror Screen, ConnectedCam, 'Share with U' app,
front and rear headrests with built-in speakers and microphones, and smartphone
wireless charging are also included.
The new
Citroen C-Aircross concept doesn’t come with all-wheel drive. Instead, the
automaker offers it with 'Grip Control', a system that allows it to move with
ease on difficult terrain and comes with five selectable modes: Standard, Sand,
Off-Road, Snow and ESP Off.
