Citroen Aircross X First Drive Review

Citroen Aircross X First Drive Review
Pros
Better equipped than before Practical and flexible cabin layout Strong value for its pricing
Cons
Lack of engine options Competition has levelled up Smaller dealer and service footprint

Verdict

Ride quality has always been a strong suit of the Aircross, and it remains so in the updated X version. On broken city roads and over speed breakers, especially those commonly encountered in Mumbai, the suspension absorbs imperfections with ease, barely allowing them to filter into the cabin. With 200mm of ground clearance, scraping over obstacles is rarely a concern. With a full load, it continues to ride better than many SUVs in its segment. On the highway, the Aircross feels stable and planted. During straight line acceleration beyond 100kmph, the SUV remains composed and confidence-inspiring, and it once crossesd 135kmph with a wide smile on my face. However, in the real-world, this translates to stress-free overtaking and relaxed highway cruising.
