French automaker Citroën is gearing up to launch its brand-new Aircross X SUV in India very soon. With this launch, the brand looks to strengthen its presence in the competitive mid-size SUV segment, where rivals like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara are already leading the game. The upcoming Citroën Aircross X is expected to bring a fresh design, advanced tech features, and efficient powertrains tailored for Indian buyers. Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming SUV.
1. Bold and Distinctive Design
The Aircross X will likely carry Citroën’s signature French design language, with a modern yet quirky look. Expect a bold front fascia, split headlamps, chunky cladding, and unique alloy wheel designs. Citroën has always emphasized comfort and style, so the Aircross X should reflect that DNA.
2. Spacious and Feature-Packed Cabin
Inside, the Aircross X is expected to offer a tech-friendly cabin with a large touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, premium upholstery, and enhanced practicality. With a focus on space and comfort, it should appeal to Indian families.
3. Powertrain Options
While Citroën has not officially revealed details, the Aircross X is likely to come with both petrol and diesel engine options, possibly a 1.2L turbo-petrol and a 1.5L diesel. Transmission choices may include manual and automatic gearboxes. Fuel efficiency is expected to be competitive to attract cost-conscious buyers.
4. Safety & Tech Features
The SUV is expected to be loaded with safety features, including multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill-hold assist, and ADAS features in higher variants. Tech highlights may include connected car technology, voice commands, and advanced driving aids.
5. Expected Price and Rivals
The Citroën Aircross X will enter the ₹12 lakh to ₹20 lakh price bracket (ex-showroom), making it a direct rival to Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun. Citroën may position the Aircross X slightly lower in pricing to attract buyers with value-for-money appeal.
Launch Timeline
The official launch of the Citroën Aircross X in India is expected in the coming weeks, with deliveries starting shortly after. Bookings may open soon at Citroën dealerships and online platforms.
