Seven seats for a budget price sounds like a great offer on paper. In practice, it's not so hot. The seven-seat version of the Citroën C3 Aircross comes with a relatively small boot, and the fold-out third-row seats aren't really big enough for anyone other than smaller kids, yet they don't have Isofix points. So for a cheap, practical seven-seater, we'd steer you towards the Dacia Jogger instead. The five-seat version of the Citroën C3 Aircross makes more sense. It has a much bigger boot, but there are five-seat rivals that handle better, ride more smoothly, and have better engines – the auto 'box in the Hybrid 145 is particularly jerky and unresponsive. So if you are going to buy a C3 Aircross, make sure to get a good deal and go for the entry-level Turbo 100 Pure trim, which is reasonably well equipped and keeps the cost down.
