If you believe the release of the company, Citroën C3 Aircross "matured". Although such a "diagnosis" is hardly appropriate if it is generally carrying any meaning. First, because the growing assumes aging, dry practicality, flexibility and boredom. Secondly, because the update for the sake of mature is strange in terms of marketing. Finally, in the case of this urban crossover, it is more correct to speak not about growing up, but, on the contrary, about the largerness. What for the French car is always a compliment.
And it's not just that on the face of C3 Aircross became unusual and funnier. The design of the front part, although it has common features with the appearance of the C3 last year, is still much bolder and expressive. LED headlights with chrome chromium chevron were original. And a bulk grille with a new geometric pattern, and a silver-gray protective panel with color inserts.
The strongest aspect of the design, however, is not a set of details, but in the ability to play paints for the car. The potential buyer is facing 70 combinations. Judge for yourself: in the body's body palette 7 different colors. Moreover, 3 new: Gray Khaki, Blue Voltaic and White Polar. To all these tones, the car enthusiast is entitled to pick up a black or white roof. Wheel wheels - and they are offered with a size of 16 and 17 inches - also differ in the pezhonian design. In particular, both options are available with diamond cut or in completely black color. Plus, to this color beefy - 4 "package with paints", including 2 new ones. As the manufacturer specifies, the packages include the original inserts along the edges of the protective panel, on the outer mirrors of the rear view and the rear side windows. It is also necessary to add decorative inserts, colored grilles with mirror chromium and pattern with cubic elements.

In addition, the interior decorate patterns in the form of chevrons, decorative inserts and stylish striking.
In addition to appearance, the new C3 Aircross seduces motorists the best in the class with a spacious interior with a "modular architecture". The capacity of the model is supported by the possibilities of transformation of the internal space. Along with the longitudinal adjustment of the rear seats with a range of 150 mm, there is also a function of folding the seat of the front passenger. Thus, the crossover owner can transport objects up to 2.40 m long. When the reverse seats are shifted to the extreme front position, the trunk capacity is increased from 410 to 520 liters. Whereas with completely folded - reaches 1289 liters.
