Though the Stellantis group wields considerable clout in the number of brands under its roof, its performance in SA is lacking

overall in the passenger car market. Hardly impressive when you take into account its local portfolio of Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Citroën, Fiat, Jeep, Opel and Peugeot.

This week we tested the enhanced Citroën C3 Aircross, a car first released globally in 2017, arriving in our country two years later. The updated model is easily distinguished from its forebear ; thanks to a more aggressive restyling job. Our vehicle was the high-grade Shine model ; well worth considering, as it is not radically costlier than the lesser Feel grade at R399,900.

There are also tough rivals from within its own corner, such as the Crossland X from Opel and the plucky Fiat 500X. And then there is the stylish and fun-to-drive Peugeot 2008. The C3 Aircross is sized generously, with dimensions that are typical for the class, with a length of 4,142mm, width of 1,756mm and height of 1,637mm. The rear remains unchanged.Traditional fans of the Citroën brand are going to delight in the familiarity of the interior.

If this is your first time experiencing the interface, there will be certain factors to get used to. The air-conditioning and heating are controlled via the interface, doing away with traditional rotary dials completely. The system incorporates a navigation system and made for quick Android Auto integration. Certain omissions give away the age of the Citroën. You will not find wireless smartphone charging, for instance, while the instrument cluster has a decidedly outmoded look.
