Citroen has launched the upgraded Aircross X SUV, featuring a choice of petrol engines, CNG retrofit, and starting at ₹8.29 lakh

Citroen India has launched the Citroen Aircross X in the Indian market at a starting price of Rs 8.29 lakh (ex-showroom). This is the third model that the French automaker has launched under its Citroen 2.0 “Shift Into the New” strategy, following the C3X and the Basalt X in the Indian market. With the ‘X’ suffix, the SUV gets some major interior changes along with additions in the feature list aimed at improving its appeal for consumers.

Here are five key new features that make the Citroen Aircross X stand out:

Cara AI integration

A major highlight is the addition of Cara AI, the in-house voice assistant that supports commands in more than 50 languages. Available on the top Max trim, it allows drivers to interact naturally with the car for navigation, entertainment, and system functions. It also offers remote alerts and a voice SOS feature, adding a layer of safety and connectivity.

2. Push-button start, Proxi-Sense & driver aids

The Citroen Aircross X now offers push-button start along with Proxi-Sense proximity sensing for a more seamless entry and ignition experience. It is also equipped with features like cruise control with a speed limiter, an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror, and even the option of a 360-degree camera as an add-on.

3. Interior upgrades

The cabin has been refreshed with ventilated leatherette seats, ambient and footwell lighting, and a redesigned gear lever. A new 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen paired with a seven-inch digital instrument cluster enhances the overall tech appeal. Subtle touches like gold accents further improve the premium feel inside.

The interior of the Citroen Aircross X has been updated to look more premium than the outgoing version.

4. Expanded colour palette

Buyers now have access to ten different colour options, including a new Deep Forest Green shade. Dual-tone combinations are also on offer, and for those who want more flair, a contrasting roof option is available as well.

5. Enhanced safety & standard features

The SUV now comes with six airbags, ESP, hill hold assist, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors as standard. On the outside, projector LED headlamps with integrated fog lamps add both function and style.
