The new C3 Aircross is a decent car, and despite some cheap feeling to it among various flaws, it still feels like a lot of Citroen product for the money. The 2025 model can’t get up to speed in any great hurry, nor does it have any real sporty flavour to speak of, but still it drives with a composure and ease. Slow, but properly engineered all the same. Day to day driving likely won’t cause you any grievances – especially around town – and the comfort value is something you’ll probably come to value greatly.

The interior is a little harsh in places but still practical and with enough going on not to feel barren. Plenty of head room and leg room in the back too, but we reckon you should steer clear of the seven-seater. It’s not worth the sacrifices in boot space, and there are better seven-seaters out there.
