For the buyer whose priority list reads space, clearance, price — in that order — the Aircross X is hard to argue with: 4,323 mm long, a class-topping 2,671 mm wheelbase, 200 mm of ground clearance and a 444-litre boot, all starting at ₹8.89 lakh, which places it 15th cheapest of 144 SUVs listed. The running-cost side of the ledger is petrol-only and mid-pack: 17.5 kmpl claimed for the 82 PS engine, 18.5 kmpl for the 110 PS turbo — roughly ₹5.7-6 per km at pump prices (indicative), against which the class offers cheaper diesels and CNG but nothing with this much cabin.

Like its Basalt X sibling, the more powerful engine is the more economical one, so the range decision compresses to which of the ten variants funds the PureTech 110 turbo (190 Nm, manual or 6-speed automatic). Equipment is functional rather than flashy — projector headlamps, LED DRLs, a 7-inch digital cluster, leatherette on upper trims, roof rails — and the kerb weight of 1,195 kg keeps the modest outputs feeling adequate. Eight colour options, including dual-tone Cosmo Blue and Garnet Red combinations, do the visual heavy lifting.

The Aircross X is the practical twin of the Basalt X — same engines, more upright body, more clearance — and the same variant logic applies: the PureTech 110 turbo is the only engine to seriously consider, since it beats the base unit on both pace and claimed mileage. A mid-spec turbo manual near ₹11 lakh is the value sweet spot; add the 6-speed AT for city duty. It won the space-per-rupee argument the day it was priced — just be sure a Citroen service point is within practical reach before you sign.
200 mm — among the highest at this price, and a genuine advantage on unpaved approach roads and aggressive speed breakers.
Yes — the 2,671 mm wheelbase gives real rear-seat room and the boot holds 444 litres. It is one of the few sub-₹10 lakh starting-price SUVs that carries five adults without squeeze.
₹8.89 lakh to ₹14.72 lakh (ex-showroom) across 10 variants and two petrol engine options.
The PureTech 110 turbo (110 PS/190 Nm) — it claims 18.5 kmpl versus the base engine's 17.5, so you gain performance and lose nothing at the pump. The 6-speed AT is the city pick.
No sunroof appears in its listed equipment, and the digital cluster is a 7-inch unit. If those features matter more than space, the Kia Syros is the rival to see.
