Car Deal of the Day: Small SUVs don’t come much cheaper than the Citroen C3 Aircross for £184 a month
It’s quirky, comfy and roomy – the Citroen C3 Aircross is our Deal of the Day for November 6.
- Roomy and practical small SUV
- Easy to drive; comfortable ride
- Only £184.07 a month
Citroen and good value go together like Ant and Dec. The French brand is well known for offering its customers a lot for not much cash, and the same is true for the new C3 Aircross.
It still amazes us, though, that you can have the keys to this five-seat small SUV with quirky styling, all the tech you need, plus an enormous boot, for just £184 a month.
But that's the case if you use the Auto Express Buy A Car service. VIPGateway is offering the chic Citroen for this price on a two-year deal right now.
An initial payment of just £2,208.32 is needed first, while mileage is capped at 5,000 a year. If you need a larger allowance for family holidays, 8,000 can be had for just an extra tenner a month.
The Plus trim is offered here, and while it may be the entry-level model, it has all the essentials plus some treats, too.
It gets LED headlights and ambient interior lighting, along with a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone connectivity as standard. Citroen even throws in a smart-looking set of 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, plus its trademark super-supportive seats and comfy suspension.
The Aircross may be based on a supermini, but Citroen has done a great job of making this into a practical, small SUV. It's not short of space up front, and lanky teenagers will have room to stretch out in the back.
This is the five-seat version of the Aircross, so it has a large 460-litre boot, but if you need more, a pair of roof rails are standard, allowing a top box to be fitted.
The C3 Aircross shares a lot with the new Vauxhall Frontera, but you wouldn't know it from behind the wheel. That's because the dashboard has a quirky, modern design, and is packed with nice styling touches. It feels fun and interesting, and we like that.
Under the bonnet lies one of Citroen's trusty 1.2-litre petrol engines. With 99bhp, its performance is reasonable, and the three-cylinder unit can get a bit vocal under hard acceleration. But for everyday driving it's perfectly fine, and a high-up driving position and light steering make the car a doddle to drive.
