What's the news?
Citroen's new small crossover, the C3 Aircross (which replaces the old C3 Picasso MPV) arrives in Irish dealers this week (today, Monday the 6th in fact) with prices starting from €20,695.
You can have the Citroen C3 Aircorss in Touch, Feel, or Flair trims and the top two versions come with touchscreens and nice trim on the dash. Engines are the 1.2-litre PureTech petrol in 82hp non-turbo and 110hp turbo forms, and there's a 100hp 1.6-litre diesel too, but Citroen Ireland expects around 75-80 per cent of buyers to go for the petrol.
Starting today, Citroen is kicking off an 'Open Week' at its dealers, nationwide, which will see a number of special offers on, er, offer. Those include three years' free servicing on any new Citroen ordered between now and the end of the week, and the existing five-year warranty has been extended from 100,000km to unlimited mileage.
Depending on which Citroen you're ordering, you can get as much as €4,500 scrappage trade in, and there's a 2.9 per cent PCP rate on offer as well. Oh, and the C4 Picasso MPV has just been given an extra €1,600 worth of options.
