Citroen C3 Aircross To Get Smaller But More Powerful Turbo-petrol Engine In Brazil

• Citroen C3 Aircross to be launched in Brazil soon. 
• It gets a smaller 1-litre turbo-petrol engine, teamed with a CVT. 
• Smaller engine is 20PS and 10Nm more powerful than the 1.2-litre unit offered here. 
• Rest of the car is similar to what we get here. 

The Citroen C3 Aircross is set to be launched in the Brazilian market soon. Ahead of its official introduction, the French marque has revealed the specifications of the Brazil-spec C3 Aircross. And the model sold there will get a completely different turbo-petrol engine and transmission option as compared to the model sold here. 

The Brazilian C3 Aircross is propelled by a smaller 1-litre turbo-petrol engine that’s offered in various other Stellantis group’s cars such as Fiats and Peugeots. It’s more powerful than the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine offered with the India-spec C3 Aircross and gets an automatic option too. 

Here’s a brief comparison of both the engine’s specifications:

Citroen not offering an automatic transmission with the C3 Aircross in India is a bummer. But fret not as the French marque will introduce it later down the line, probably the 6-speed torque converter from the Indonesian model, not a CVT as is offered for the Brazil-spec SUV. 

Apart from the engine, the Brazilian C3 Aircross is more or less similar to what we get here. That means you get a no-nonsense exterior, all the essential features and three rows of seating with removable third row seats.

In India, the Citroen C3 Aircross is priced from Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Its alternatives include compact SUVs such as the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos as well as three-row MPVs such as Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Kia Carens.
