Citroen C3 Aircross review - Reliability & safety
“Citroen beats most rivals when it comes to customer satisfaction”
Citroen is clearly doing something right when it comes to customer satisfaction, vaulting up the charts from 11th to fifth out of 32 brands in our latest 2024 Driver Power survey. Just 15.1% of owners reported a fault in the first year, and they scored the marque second for running costs, servicing and insurance costs. Value was rated fifth, and even its worst performance was 14th for exterior styling and finish.
How safe is the Citroen C3 Aircross?
We don’t have a Euro NCAP score for the C3 Aircross yet, but it should perform well given all the safety kit it comes with. This includes a reversing camera, lane departure warnings, driver attention alerts, autonomous emergency braking and a speed limiter. Max trims also get features such as blind spot detection and front parking sensors.
What are the Citroen C3 Aircross service intervals?
Citroen’s typically need servicing every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever arrives first.
What is the warranty on the Citroen C3 Aircross?
Citroen’s three-year/60,000-mile warranty is fairly rudimentary and not as impressive as the five or seven year warranties offered with quite a few rivals. The e-C3 Aircross gets an extended eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on its battery pack, and it’s covered if its capacity drops below 70% in that time.
