Citroen has launched a special limited-edition of its popular SUV, now called the Aircross Xplorer Edition, a model that brings a mix of stylish cosmetic updates and additional features designed to offer even more value and character. Formerly known as the C3 Aircross, this edition arrives in two additional packages that layer on unique upgrades to the SUV’s design and amenities, making it a standout choice for buyers looking to add exclusive style to their vehicle.
Here’s a look at what’s new with the Xplorer Edition, available on the mid-level Plus and top-tier Max variants of the Aircross.
Eye-Catching Exterior Upgrades
For an extra Rs 24,000 over the standard price, buyers can choose the Standard Xplorer pack, which features a collection of exclusive design elements. This pack brings Khaki-colored inserts on the exterior, a black hood garnish, and profile decals that give the SUV a more rugged, adventure-ready look. These subtle additions create a distinctive visual experience that aligns with the Xplorer’s theme, setting it apart from the standard Aircross models.
Enhanced Interior with Optional Entertainment Package
Inside, the Aircross Xplorer Edition builds on Citroen’s already comfortable and tech-forward interior. This special edition includes an illuminated side sill, footwell lighting, and even a dashcam, adding both functionality and flair to the interior experience. Customers who choose the Optional Xplorer pack for an additional Rs 51,700 will get an extra perk: a rear-seat entertainment package that includes a dual-port adaptor, making it perfect for families or groups on the go.
Power and Performance
The Aircross Xplorer Edition retains the same powertrain choices as the standard Aircross, with two petrol engine options. The first is a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine delivering 82 PS and 115 Nm of torque, paired exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission. The second option is a more powerful 1.2-litre turbocharged engine with 110 PS and up to 205 Nm of torque, available with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed torque converter automatic. Both options ensure the Xplorer edition provides a balance between efficiency and performance.
Modern Features and Safety
In terms of tech, the Citroen Aircross Xplorer Edition is well-equipped with modern essentials. It offers a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital driver display, automatic climate control, and steering-mounted controls. Safety is also a priority with features like six airbags, ABS with EBD, hill hold assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and a rearview camera.
Pricing and Competition
The Citroen Aircross is priced between Rs 8.49 lakh and Rs 14.55 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India), making it an appealing option in the compact SUV segment. It competes with popular models like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Volkswagen Taigun, Toyota Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq,
With these upgrades, Citroen’s Aircross Xplorer Edition aims to attract buyers looking for both style and substance, all at a competitive price.
