After introducing in India, Citroen is all set to launch the new C3 Aircross SUV in the Brazilian market. Ahead of the official launch, the French automaker has released the engine specifications of the SUV. What’s interesting is that the Brazilian-spec Citroen C3 Aircross will receive a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine instead of the 1.2L turbo unit offered with the India-spec model.
The 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine is already offered with several models from Stellantis Group’s cars including Fiats and Peugeots. This engine is capable of producing 130PS of power and 200Nm of torque, which is 20PS and 10Nm more than the 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo unit.

While the India-spec model is only available with a single 6-speed manual gearbox, the Brazilian-spec variant is offered with a 7-step CVT automatic unit. Moreover, the Indonesian-spec C3 Aircross is offered with a 6-speed torque convertor automatic unit. This torque convertor is also expected to be introduced in India in the near future.
