In October 2011, it was confirmed that the C4 Aircross would not be sold in the United Kingdom or Ireland, due to the Peugeot 3008 already being sold in those countries.[1]

Trim levels
The C4 Aircross was available in three trim levels: Attraction, Comfort and Exclusive. The Attraction models offered, among other features, seven-series airbags, manual air conditioning, MP3/CD radio and electric mirrors. The Comfort trim featured cruise control, automatic climate control, fog lights and alloy wheels, while the Exclusive trim provided rear-view camera assist, GPS, electric and heated front seats and 18-inch alloy wheels.[3]
Models sold from 1 June 2012 to 31 December 2013 were recalled in June 2017 owing to a suspected fault in the vehicles’ tailgate gas springs.[4] Models sold from 1 June 2012 to 29 November 2013 were recalled in September 2017 owing to concerns that the windscreen wiper motors could fill with water and seize.[5] The entry level was the C4 Aircross 1.6i in the Attraction finish. The diesel version started with the HDi 115 Attraction, while the high-end C4 Aircross was available with the HDi 150 Exclusive finish.
