The Citroën C3 Aircross gets a global update that Malaysians are unlikely to see.
Just a few years ago, the Malaysian automotive industry was in quite a different position. Before COVID-19 and before Geely Auto, the landscape was an entirely different one, and we actually had a pretty good variety of cars available here. Cars like the Citroën C3 Aircross even managed to make a case for PSA to locally-assemble it in Gurun, Kedah.
Now though, the Peugeot brand is under Berjaya Auto Alliance’s stewardship and new models from Citroën and DS will no longer be sold. That probably means that the recently announced C3 Aircross facelift will probably never be seen on Malaysian soil.
Well, it you own the last model or are generally interested in what the French have changed this time around.
