Citroen Australia has discontinued the unpopular C3 Aircross light SUV.
After launching in April 2019, the Mazda CX-3, Toyota Yaris Cross, Kia Stonic, Volkswagen T-Cross and Hyundai Venue rival failed to fire, selling just 127 examples in total.
The writing was on the wall for the C3 Aircross in February this year, when its facelift was revealed but not confirmed for local sales.
Speaking to CarsGuide, a Citroen Australia spokesperson said: “The Citroen C3 Aircross has been removed from the Australian line-up as we re-evaluate our range to ensure our product offering closely aligns with consumer expectations.
“We look forward to strengthening and complementing the existing Citroen range with the introduction of the Citroen C4 later this year, and we continue to work closely with the factory regarding evaluating the new Citroen C5 X for local introduction.”
The pre-facelift C3 Aircross was available in a single variant, with the Shine priced from a relatively high $34,990 plus on-road costs, limiting its appeals to buyers in the Light SUV segment.
As a result, Citroen Australia now has two models in its line-up, although the C3 light hatchback and C5 Aircross mid-size SUV will be joined by the new-generation C4 small hatchback by the end of 2021.
