DOUBLE WIN FOR CITROËN IN ANNUAL AUTO EXPRESS 'USED CAR AWARDS'

Both Citroën C3 Aircross and Grand C4 SpaceTourer have been named winners in the annual Auto Express Used Car Awards.

This is the second year that C3 Aircross has been awarded the ‘Best Used Small SUV’ trophy, and it’s the third consecutive year that Grand C4 SpaceTourer has taken the ‘Best Used MPV’ title. The judges from Auto Express praised both vehicles for their unique design, and spacious and comfortable interiors, with lots of compartments and family-friendly features. 

Steve Fowler, editor-in-chief at Auto Express, said: "Citroën C3 Aircross is proof that you don’t have to abandon your sense of fun when shopping for an affordable family run-around. With its blend of quirky styling and spacious interior, it is charming, distinctive and boasts a host of family-friendly features. On the move, it's clear C3 Aircross has been developed with the brand’s trademark focus on comfort, and there's a wide range of eager and frugal engines. Being sensible has never been more stylish.”

Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer joins C3 Aircross on the list of winners – taking the ‘Best Used MPV’ category win once more. Grand C4 SpaceTourer was praised for its spacious interior, which can easily seat up to seven adults in comfort, and the numerous storage compartments that make it ideal for family use. The judges also noted Grand C4 SpaceTourer's comfortable ride. The multi-award winning MPV continues to be an industry and family favourite, allowing drivers and passengers alike to travel in supreme comfort.

Steve Fowler added: “The best used seven-seat MPV in the business is the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso, or Grand C4 SpaceTourer as it was renamed in 2018. Bursting with French design flair and crammed with numerous family-friendly features, it takes our ‘Used MPV of the Year’ trophy for the third year on the trot. Like all the best family cars, it feels like it's been designed from the inside out: the seats in the third row are roomy enough for adults and are easy to access, and the middle row has a trio of sliding and reclining seats, each with their own ISOFIX mounting. There’s a big boot, too, with a healthy 793-litres of carrying capacity in five-seat mode.” 

Eurig Druce, Citroën UK’s Managing Director, said: “We are very proud to see C3 Aircross and Grand C4 SpaceTourer recognised once again in the Auto Express Used Car Awards. Such accolades are testimony to the Citroën brand’s dedication to building a wide array of reliable and versatile cars that continue to deliver against our customers' needs and expectations, remaining desirable for families even when the models become a little older.”
