Dongfeng Citroen's C3-XR SUV: graceful beast

The carmaker's latest connectivity system makes driving a pleasure in this new model. Citroen Connect infotainment system is positioned as an on-car secretary on a seven-inch touch screen with one-touch navigation, real-time road situation, emergency call, etc.

Every C3-XR carries at least four-airbags in a high intensity body as a standard to secure the driver and passengers' safety. Its 2,655mm length, longest among mid-size SUVs, ensures an enjoyable journey under the top-level's 1.3 sq m panoramic moon roof.
