The attractive pricing, coupled with the funky interior and exterior should be good enough reason for potential Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3 owners to rethink their options.

Features wise, the C3 Aircross is not one to be overlooked. You get keyless entry with push-start feature, cruise control, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity on the 7-inch infotainment system with the only let down being the singular USB port.
As for the funky exterior, the C3 Aircross is finished with 17-inch wheels, tail lights with 3D effect, LED daytime running lights and halogen headlamps.
