Big win! The Citroën C3 Aircross scores a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, proving its strong safety, family-friendly design & rival-beating credentials. This is more than just a badge – it’s a big win for Citroën and Indian SUV buyers alike.
When the Citroën C3 Aircross first arrived in India two years ago, it promised to be a practical, stylish, and family-friendly SUV. But back then, safety was still an unanswered question for many buyers. Fast forward to today, the C3 Aircross has silenced all doubts with a full 5-star safety rating in Bharat NCAP crash tests.
Why This 5-Star Rating Matters for Buyers
For Indian car buyers, safety is no longer just a side note. With growing awareness and stricter crash-test norms, a 5-star rating has become a deciding factor for families. The Citroën C3 Aircross now joins the league of highly trusted SUVs, giving buyers confidence that they’re choosing style plus safety.
This milestone also signals that global brands like Citroën are taking India’s new Bharat NCAP seriously, and that’s a positive shift for the whole industry.
What Makes the C3 Aircross So Safe?
The SUV achieved its top score thanks to:
- Strong structural integrity designed to handle frontal and side impacts
- Six airbags and electronic stability control (in higher trims)
- ISOFIX child seat mounts for better family safety
- Advanced seatbelt reminders for all passengers
It’s clear that Citroën has invested in safety engineering, not just cosmetic updates.
