- Citroen India has revealed the fuel efficiency figure on the newly-launched C3 Aircross automatic. Here is how it stacks up against the rivals.
Citroen India recently introduced the automatic variant of the Citroen C3 Aircross SUV. While the compact SUV was launched last year itself, it arrived only with a manual transmission. The SUV now gets a 6-speed torque converter paired with the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. While power stays the same at 108 bhp, torque has gone up by 15 Nm on the SUV. So, how does it fare on fuel efficiency? Here’s what the company says.
The new Citroen C3 Aircross automatic promises a fuel efficiency figure of 17.6 kmpl. This is marginally lower when compared to the manual version of the C3 Aircross which claims 18.5 kmpl. All figures are ARAI-certified. The compact SUV uses a 6-speed gearbox on the manual version.
