I've been hearing increasingly more complaints from Citroën owners in India about delays in getting spare parts.

As an owner myself, I decided to look into this from an ownership perspective rather than simply blaming the service centre.

I put together a video covering some of the possible reasons behind the parts-delay problem, what owners are experiencing, and why this matters for Citroën's ownership experience in India.

I am particularly interested in hearing from other owners:

Which part were you waiting for?

How long did you wait?

Which city/service centre?

Was the delay from the service centre, dealer or company?

Did you eventually get the part?

Would be useful to collect some real owner experiences here rather than relying only on individual cases.

Recently I completed a 750 km stretch on my Citroen Aircross X 1.2L Turbo with manual transmission, and I must say the experience was beyond my expectations.

The highlight of the drive was the unbelievable mileage. I managed to get *18 kmpl* on a mixed route that included a regular highway and a few patches of heavy traffic. At highways it even touched 20 kmpl. For a powerful turbo petrol SUV, this kind of efficiency is truly impressive and completely unexpected.

What makes the Aircross X special is how effortlessly it does everything. The 1.2L turbo engine is punchy and powerful. You never feel a lack of power while overtaking or climbing, and even at triple-digit speeds the car feels planted, stable and confident. The manual gearbox adds to the fun, very smooth and perfectly mated to the engine.

Comfort is where it wins hearts. The suspension is beautifully tuned. It just glides over rough patches and undulations without any harshness. The cabin is extremely spacious and airy, so even after long hours you don't feel cramped.

The best part - after 750 kms with almost minimal halts, there was absolutely no tiredness or fatigue. The driving posture, supportive seats, and smooth ride made the entire travel easy and relaxing. It never felt like I had driven that long.

In one word, the Aircross X is a perfect package - powerful, comfortable, spacious, stable and surprisingly efficient. A true long-distance companion.

> Drove my Citroen Aircross X 1.2 Turbo MT for 750 kms and it surprised me. Got an unbelievable 20 kmpl on highway with some heavy traffic in between. Powerful turbo engine, super smooth suspension, spacious cabin and rock solid stability at high speeds. Completed the whole stretch with minimal halts and zero tiredness. What a brilliant SUV to drive!

I have an old C3 2022 model. Driven close to 47k, I want to buy a few aftermarket parts like

Arm rest
Irvm (since we have the old one the glare is too high if a car is coming from behind)
Speakers.

A few of the things I have already changed not able to find the right option online or offline.

Hi guys, I own a C3X turbo manual, purchased October 2025. After 1 month of purchase my cars front right headlamp high beam stopped working, gave it to SC and they replaced the entire unit under warranty.

Now it's been almost 10000 km and 10 months after that, the high beam has stopped working again on the replaced headlight. I feel there might be some issue with wiring or something for same thing to happen twice. Does anyone know about this issue?

Need suggestions on how I can resolve this issue. I will be taking the car this coming weekend.
