The 2023 Citroën C3 Aircross 1.2 PureTech 110 Shine is a compact crossover SUV designed for urban comfort, practicality, and style. As one of Citroën’s most versatile offerings, this model strikes a balance between expressive design and everyday usability, making it a compelling choice in the B-SUV segment. Engine and Performance Under the hood, the C3 Aircross 1.2 PureTech 110 Shine features a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. This PureTech engine delivers 110 horsepower and around 205 Nm of torque, mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission (depending on market specification). The powertrain is tuned for efficiency and refinement, with 0–100 km/h achievable in roughly 10.1 seconds. It's not a performance SUV, but it offers ample responsiveness for daily driving, especially in urban and suburban settings. Fuel economy is competitive, with a combined WLTP cycle figure of approximately 5.5–6.0 litres per 100 km, depending on driving conditions and configuration. Exterior Design Styling is a standout feature of the 2023 C3 Aircross. The Shine trim brings unique aesthetic enhancements such as LED headlights, contrast roof colours, and 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. The front fascia showcases Citroën’s signature dual-chevron grille design, integrated with slim daytime running lights and bold cladding around the wheel arches and bumpers for a rugged, SUV-inspired look. Despite its compact dimensions (around 4.15 meters in length), the C3 Aircross has a confident, upright stance that contributes to good visibility and a commanding driving position. Interior and Practicality Inside, the Shine trim offers a well-appointed cabin with a focus on comfort and modularity. The seats feature Citroën's Advanced Comfort technology with extra padding for long-distance support. High-quality materials and contrasting trims add a touch of flair, in line with Citroën’s quirky design ethos. The C3 Aircross is remarkably spacious for its class, offering up to 410 litres of boot space in the standard position, which expands to 520 litres thanks to a sliding rear bench — or up to 1,289 litres with the rear seats folded. The interior is cleverly designed with numerous storage compartments, making it ideal for family use. Technology and Features As the Shine trim, this model includes a host of features: 7- or 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system (depending on version), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Built-in navigation (on higher versions), Rear parking sensors and reversing camera, Keyless entry and start, Automatic climate control, and Citroën’s Safety Pack, which may include lane departure warning, speed limit recognition, and autonomous emergency braking. Ride and Comfort True to Citroën’s tradition, the C3 Aircross prioritises ride comfort. The suspension is tuned to soak up urban bumps and uneven roads with minimal fuss. Road and wind noise are well-contained for this segment, contributing t
