Rs 12 lakh 7 seater SUV coming soon!
Having a 7-seater car always adds up to extra practicality that comes in handy during various scenarios. Some buyers do get hesitated to buy such a car due to its larger size, uneasy driving dynamics and many other factors. However, if we keep that part aside then a modern-day MPV serves the right purpose. With the availability of many new 7 seater cars which are affordable, capable as well as easily driveable, buyers are now getting their hands on them. So, in today’s article, we will be taking a look at a new 7-seater SUV for Rs 12lakh.
Rs 12lakh SUV – Design
The upcoming 7-seater is the new Citroen C3 AirCross which has been spotted testing on Indian roads. Codenamed the ‘CC24’, this new car possesses the signature Citroen design language. Though the car was in heavy camouflage, we could spot the indistinguishable Citroen front look with a split headlamp setup and other design iterations which we see on C5 AirCross and C3. Moreover, this one also shares the same CMP platform which underpins the C3. This depicts a high chance of it being similar to the C3 in terms of looks. But, with a bigger wheelbase and space to imbibe the 3rd row. The overall design has been kept muscular with flared wheel haunches, body cladding, etc to make it look like an SUV.
Features
This car will lock its horns against the top-selling MPVs of the market so we are expecting it to get multiple features. The main highlight of this one could be the practical aspect. So, we might expect a decent third row with interior features like an auto-dimming IRVM, wireless charging, reverse parking camera, rear charging ports, etc.
Rs 12lakh SUV – Specifications
The powertrain option on this new MPV could be none-other than the 1.2-litre turbo petrol which we see on the C3. Due to the extra length and more carrying capacity, this boils down to being the only adequate option on the car. Talking about this engine, produces 109bhp and 190Nm of torque. Transmission options are currently limited to a 6-speed MT but we might see a torque converter as well.
Launch and Pricing
This car has been spotted testing on Indian roads in heavy camouflage. Also, the Citroen eC3 has been already unveiled now. Therefore, we can expect it to be launched by the end of 2023. What about pricing? It depends on what it has to offer and even if it is priced aggressively, it might be around Rs 12lakh (ex-showroom).
