Compare the Citroen C3 Aircross vs Citroen C3
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both of these Citroens are easy to drive in town, with super-light steering that takes the effort out of tight turns and parking. Each relies on clever suspension that copes really well with big potholes and speed bumps, though the lighter Citroen C3 is even more comfortable still over rough surfaces. Take either out onto twisty roads and you will find that the body leans a lot in the bends, while on motorways their light weight and slab sides leave both cars susceptible to crosswinds. Choosing between them largely comes down to size and everyday practicality. The Citroen C3 Aircross is longer, can tow heavier loads, and gives you the option of a third row of seats, whereas the smaller C3 cannot be had with seven seats.
