Citroën C3 Aircross Lease Deals

The Citroën C3 Aircross is a 4.40m compact SUV available with five or seven seats, a 1.2-litre turbo petrol or a fully electric powertrain, and a choice of Collection or Max trim. This page explains what the car is like, who it suits and how to choose within the range before you look at the live lease deals below.

The Citroën C3 Aircross is a compact family SUV built around comfort and space rather than speed. At 4.40 metres long it parks like a supermini, yet it can be had with five or seven seats and a boot of between 330 and 460 litres depending on the version you choose.

It sits above the C3 supermini in Citroën's line-up as the brand's small SUV, and it's aimed squarely at families who want room and an easy drive without a big car's footprint. Road testers consistently praise the soft ride and the seats, and are just as consistent that it isn't a car for keen drivers.

The choice is simple: one SUV body, a 1.2-litre turbo petrol or a fully electric version, and two trims - Collection and Max.

About the Citroën C3 Aircross

The current C3 Aircross is the second-generation car, on sale in this form since 2025. It's a boxy, upright small SUV, 4.40 m long, with five seats as standard and seven available on some versions.

Citroën has leaned hard into comfort here, and reviewers agree it works: soft suspension, light steering and generously padded front seats make it an easy thing to drive in town and on long motorway runs. The trade-off, which testers also note, is plenty of body lean and modest performance.

Practicality is the other headline. The boot measures 330 to 460 litres with the rear seats up depending on the version, up to 1,600 litres folded, and the car comes with a 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty. The electric version has a WLTP range of up to 249 miles.

Why lease a Citroën C3 Aircross?

Because every version arrives well equipped, and leasing lets you take a specific one for a fixed term without worrying what it's worth afterwards. Safety and driver-assistance kit is standard across the range rather than scattered through the options list.

Every C3 Aircross gets autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beam, LED headlights, rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a head-up display, DAB digital radio, air conditioning, privacy glass, roof rails, rain-sensing wipers and power-folding mirrors are also standard on every trim.

For day-to-day use, the 10.9 m turning circle and standard parking aids matter more than any performance figure. Petrol versions tow up to 1,300 kg braked, which most rivals of this size can't manage.

Which C3 Aircross powertrain is right for me?

There are two: a 1.2-litre turbo petrol and a fully electric version. Both drive the front wheels, and the practical difference is whether you want to plug in.

Petrol

The 1.2-litre turbo three-cylinder produces between 99 and 143 bhp, with a manual or an automatic gearbox. WLTP economy runs from 41.8 to 57.4 mpg and CO2 from 120 g/km, and this is the powertrain to pick if you tow, cover long motorway miles, or can't charge at home.

Electric

The electric C3 Aircross has 111 bhp, an automatic transmission and a 44 or 54 kWh battery, giving a WLTP range of up to 249 miles. Charging runs at up to 100 kW, and the best version tops up from 20-80% in 26 minutes. It suits commuters and town drivers with a charger.

Which C3 Aircross trim should I choose?

Two trims: Collection and Max. Collection covers the essentials properly; Max adds comfort and convenience kit rather than any change to how the car drives.

Collection

Collection rides on 17-inch Aragonite black alloy wheels with locking wheel nuts, and adds cruise control with a speed limiter to the standard kit every C3 Aircross gets. Upholstery is cloth, and the entry version has 99 bhp.

The Collection is currently available from £271.84 a month.

Max

Max swaps to 17-inch Aragonite diamond cut bi alloys and brings connected 3D navigation, cloth and leather-effect upholstery, a heated steering wheel and a ventilated wireless smartphone charger. It also adds heated front seats, front parking sensors, front fog lights and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

The Max is currently available from £275.83 a month. Against the Collection, that is currently £4.00/mo more expensive.

Citroën C3 Aircross FAQs

For most small families, yes. It's available with five or seven seats, the boot is 330 to 460 litres with the rear seats up depending on version, and safety kit including autonomous emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring is standard. Reviewers rate the ride comfort but note the third row suits children rather than adults.

Between 330 and 460 litres with the rear seats up, depending on the version, rising to between 1,470 and 1,600 litres with them folded. The electric version offers 460 litres. Boot capacity varies by version, so check the derivative on the deal.

Up to 249 miles on the WLTP test, depending on the battery fitted. Charging peaks at 100 kW, with 20-80% in 26 minutes on the best version, or about 4.2 hours at 7.4 kW at home. Expect less in winter and at motorway speeds.

Petrol versions tow up to 1,300 kg braked, which covers a small caravan or a decent trailer. The electric version is rated at 350 to 550 kg braked, so it's for light loads only. Unbraked limits across the range run from 350 to 690 kg. Always check the figure for the exact version.

Citroën covers the car for 3 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, with a 3-year paintwork guarantee and a 12-year anti-corrosion guarantee. The electric version's battery is warranted for 8 years or 100,000 miles, guaranteeing 70% of capacity. There's a tyre repair kit rather than a spare wheel.

It depends entirely on what's available at the time - rentals move with the offers in the market, and the cheapest version this week isn't always the cheapest next week. The Collection is currently from £271.84 a month. Check the live deals below for today's position, or ask our team.
