Pre-bookings for the new SUV are now live in India.
Launch expected soon with competitive pricing and fresh design features.
Citroen has officially started taking bookings for the Aircross X, and interested buyers can reserve the SUV by paying a token amount of Rs 11,000. The new “X” version follows the same update strategy that was recently introduced with the C3 X and the Basalt X. Much like those models the Aircross X gets a refreshed feature list while keeping the mechanical package unchanged. This approach makes the midsize SUV’s pricing more appealing to a wider audience and ensures that the top trims offer extra convenience and technology
Although the Aircross X has not been fully revealed yet, Citroen has already shared a short teaser clip. The video hints at the arrival of a new dark green shade that will join the SUV’s color lineup. This fresh option is expected to give the car a more premium and rugged look catering to buyers who want something different from the usual white, silver and grey finishes. In addition the rear end will now carry a fresh ‘X’ badge on the tailgate, highlighting that this is the updated version of the Aircross
Feature Additions Confirmed And Expected
One of the biggest confirmations so far is that the Aircross X will now come with cruise control. This feature has been requested by many customers and finally makes its way into the SUV, making highway drives more relaxed. But that is not all. Based on what we saw in the C3 X and the Basalt X, several more features are likely to be part of the update.
Likely Features To Be Offered:
Push button start/stop system for keyless convenience.
LED fog lamps for better visibility in poor weather.
White ambient lighting in the cabin to enhance the premium feel.
Leatherette wrapped dashboard for an upscale touch.
Auto dimming inside rearview mirror to reduce glare at night.
360 degree camera system (optional at around Rs 25,000) to improve parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
Updated cabin trim to make the interiors look more modern and stylish.
These additions will bring the Aircross X closer to its rivals in terms of features and give customers more value for money, especially in the top trims.
Cara AI Assistant May Join The Package
Another possible addition is Citroen’s Cara in-car AI assistant. This voice-based system can carry out several tasks for the driver. From executing commands like changing the AC temperature, to reading out vehicle data, to planning routes based on traffic, Cara makes driving easier and safer. Considering that the Aircross is placed higher than the Basalt in the lineup, it makes sense for the brand to bring this digital assistant to the Aircross X as well.
No Mechanical Changes Planned
While the features and looks are getting updates, the Aircross X is expected to continue with the same engine and gearbox combinations as before. This is similar to what Citroen did with the C3 X and the Basalt X, where no mechanical upgrades were made.
Engine And Gearbox Options:
Entry level versions will keep the 1.2 litre, 3 cylinder naturally aspirated petrol motor. This engine makes 82 hp and is paired only with a 5 speed manual gearbox. It is designed for city driving and delivers practical performance for everyday commutes.
Higher trims will continue with the 1.2 litre, 3 cylinder turbo-petrol unit. This engine produces 110 hp, offering stronger performance for highway runs and overtaking. Customers will be able to choose between a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission, depending on their driving preference.
By keeping the mechanicals unchanged Citroen can focus on controlling costs while adding more features that matter to customers.
Exterior And Interior Updates For 2025
The 2025 Citroen Aircross X will not be a complete redesign but a smart refresh that adds style and convenience without raising prices significantly
Exterior Changes Expected:
Introduction of the new dark green paint option.
Fresh X badging on the tailgate to mark the updated trim.
Possible minor tweaks to the bumpers and lighting elements to give the SUV a sharper look.
Interior Changes Expected:
New dashboard trim for a more modern appearance.
Improved upholstery materials for comfort and durability.
Tech upgrades like ambient lighting and the possible inclusion of the AI assistant.
Better placement of controls to improve the overall cabin experience.
Market Impact And Positioning
The Aircross has always aimed to stand out with its unique design and comfortable ride quality. With the X update, Citroen is addressing one of the key concerns of Indian buyers – features. In today’s market, customers expect a long list of equipment even in mid-level trims. Competitors like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara already pack strong feature lists. With the addition of cruise control, LED fog lamps, and possibly the Cara AI assistant, the Aircross X will be better prepared to compete in this crowded midsize SUV space.
Pricing Strategy
While the exact prices for the Aircross X are not yet revealed, the update is expected to make the SUV more affordable overall. The idea behind the “X” variant strategy is to restructure trims so that buyers get more features at similar or slightly lower prices than before. This is a smart move to attract cost-conscious customers without compromising on quality.
Customer Expectations
Indian customers looking at the Aircross X will expect:
Value for money with a competitive starting price.
More features across trims without having to stretch the budget too much.
Stylish design with practical usability for city and highway use.
Reliable performance from proven engines with multiple gearbox options.
If Citroen manages to deliver on these points, the Aircross X could see a stronger response than the earlier versions.
The 2025 Citroen Aircross X is shaping up to be an important update for the brand in India. With bookings open at Rs 11,000, customers now have the chance to reserve one before the official launch. The SUV will carry forward its known strengths of comfort and design while adding meaningful new features like cruise control, ambient lighting, LED fog lamps, and possibly the Cara AI assistant. The addition of a dark green color and fresh interior touches further enhance its appeal.
With no mechanical changes the focus remains on value, accessibility and customer satisfaction. As the midsize SUV segment grows more competitive every year the Aircross X gives buyers another strong option to consider in 2025
