Compare the Vauxhall Frontera vs Citroen C3 Aircross
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Vauxhall Frontera and the Citroen C3 Aircross prove easy to manoeuvre around town thanks to light steering and good visibility, and both come with a reversing camera. Out on the motorway, each is susceptible to crosswinds due to their tall, slab-sided shapes. Head onto twisty roads, however, and their characters diverge. The Frontera keeps body roll pretty minimal through corners, whereas the softly sprung C3 Aircross leans a lot in the bends. Inside, both cabins feature basic infotainment systems with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though the Frontera is dominated by hard, scratchy plastics, while the Citroen adds fabric trim to break up its cheap materials.
