Citroen is getting ready to roll out the Dark Editions across its entire India lineup, and yes, the Aircross is part of that stylish transformation. This version of the mid-size SUV is all about visual drama and added flair, aimed at those who want something a bit more exclusive. Along with the signature all-black theme, the Aircross Dark Edition brings some extra goodies inside and out, making it one of the most premium offerings in Citroen’s portfolio.
Exterior
Starting with the paintwork, the Aircross Dark Edition will come in a bold black exterior shade, instantly giving it a more aggressive and premium look. While the car gets this new dark coat, Citroen has smartly kept the silver skid plates. This little splash of contrast helps break the monotony and adds a stylish twist without going overboard.
At the rear, you’ll notice the addition of chrome ‘AIRCROSS’ lettering on the tailgate, adding a bit of bling to the dark silhouette. The alloy wheels retain their dual-tone pattern from the standard version, which blends well with the overall look. To round things off, there’s a new ‘DARK EDITION’ badge finished in black, subtly highlighting the exclusivity of this version.
Interior
Inside, the cabin layout remains familiar, but Citroen has upped the luxury game. The seats now come wrapped in premium black leatherette upholstery, offering a plush and high-end feel. Red contrast highlights across the cabin add just the right amount of visual excitement without overwhelming the dark theme.
That’s not all. High-gloss black accents across the dashboard and other touchpoints enhance the premium vibe. Buyers will also enjoy illuminated sill plates and ambient footwell lighting, giving the interior a more refined and premium atmosphere—especially when driving at night.
Engine
If you were expecting performance changes, this one keeps things simple. The Aircross Dark Edition sticks to the same powertrain lineup as before. You can pick between a naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine or a more spirited turbocharged unit. Both engine options come with the choice of a manual or an automatic gearbox, offering flexibility based on your driving style.
