雪铁龙C3 Aircross合成图近日曝光，该车外观设计受到年初发布的C-Aircross概念车影响，它采用普通的车门把手，同时B柱也更像最终量产版。这款车拿掉了摄像头而采用普通后视镜，同时不再采用黑色塑料防擦条，整体外观更像最终量产版。该车外观与C4 Cactus有很多共同之处，而内装则与C3一样。这款车的上市标志着C3毕加索从原来的MPV车型转变成跨界车，此举将使雪铁龙能更好的应对消费者对于跨界车的需求。目前还不清楚最终量产版是回被命名为C3毕加索还是C3 Aircross，或许该车将采用概念车的名称。预计雪铁龙将在未来几个月内发布这款车，随后将于年底前上市。
Citroen C3 Aircross Render Makes Bold Design Statement
Previewed earlier this year by the C-Aircross Concept, the new C3 Aircross has gained conventional door handles and a B-pillar in this speculative render attempting to see into the future of the production model. Gone are the cameras as instead the B-segment crossover now has regular side mirrors and has also gone through some other minor changes like the standard black plastic cladding to make it production-ready.
The exterior styling will have many traits in common with the C3 Aircross’ bigger brother, the C4 Cactus, combined with the interior cabin largely sourced from the supermini. When it will arrive, the new pint-sized model will signal the C3 Picasso’s switch from an MPV body style to a crossover shape in a bid to capitalize on the increased demand for high-riding cars to the detriment of people carriers.
It will be interesting to see whether the road-going model will retain the “Picasso” nameplate or it’s going to be replaced instead with the “Aircross” suffix to better mark the model’s transformation. It might happen taking into account the concept’s moniker.
Expect Citro?n to take the wraps off the eccentric crossover in the following months, with sales to begin before the end of 2017.
