Citroen’s C3 Aircross Rip Curl continues partnership with surf brand

Citroen has introduced a new C3 Aircross Rip Curl model which has been designed in collaboration with the Australian surfing brand.

Marking the third collaboration between the two companies, the C3 Aircross Rip Curl is priced from £23,815 and is available to order now. Placed above existing Shine Plus-specification cars, the C3 Aircross Rip Curl takes its place as the flagship model in the range.

It features 17-inch Origami black alloy wheels shod with all-season tyres for added grip in poor conditions. It also incorporates a full anodised blue colour pack, which features blue skid plate inserts at the front, alongside blue wing mirrors. Four exterior shades are there to choose from, too – Polar White, Perla Nera Black, Platinum Grey and Cumulus Grey. There are also a number of Rip Curl logos applied across the exterior of the car, too.

That blue theme is continued into the interior as well, with blue leather-effect and cloth upholstery matching the exterior shade. The seats, dashboard centre console and air vent surrounds all use the same colour too.

A panoramic sunroof is also included as standard, as is an upgraded sound system and colour head-up display.

There are three engine choices available with the C3 Aircross Rip Curl. The first, a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol version with a six-speed manual gearbox, is then followed by a more powerful version of the same engine, this time driven through a six-speed automatic ‘box. There is also a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine available with a six-speed manual gearbox.
