Appearance

The 2013 Citroen C4 Aircross is a good-looking vehicle. Although it is a crossover with plenty of room, it looks more like a five-door hatchback. Aerodynamic styling, a rear roof spoiler, eye-catching headlamps and gorgeous wheels demand a second look in the row.

Comfort

Although there is enough room for five passengers, tall riders in the rear will find themselves just a little cramped. Regardless where you sit, you will enjoy a smooth ride, thanks to the fine-tuned suspension and you will also notice just how silent the ride is, even at low speeds as the motor is extremely quiet. Not much has changed in the interior. Everything is laid out nicely and there is a lot of small details you will notice when you sit inside, like the chrome rings around the controls and the use of high-value plastics.

Cargo

The trunk volume of the 2013 Citroen C4 Aircross is listed at 442-11931. As soon as you lift the tailgate, you notice how roomy it is, and if you put the split rear seat down, even more space is opened. Unfortunately, the sloped roof will make it difficult to fit tall objects inside.
