The C4 Aircross works through the changes elegant than his Japanese model, which continues in some detail in the interior.

On the whole, the interior has not changed extremely. However, little things like the framing of controls with chrome rings and the use of higher-value plastics are more noble than the ASX. This also helps to better classify the clientele, the Citroen C4 to Aircross in sight. There are people who are focusing on upscale aesthetic value and therefore a few bucks to spend more.
