Mar 10, 2017 09:56 AM EST | Hannah Jill

The Citroen C- Aircross concept car looks like a Picasso C3 morphed from an MPV to a bigger SUV. The design concept is being planned to storm the European market late this year.

The Citroen C- Aircross concept was introduced during the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. The French company will be using this concept in order to penetrate the European car market.

Modeled after the C3 hatchback and C4 cactus, the leaks will definitely give us a lot of ideas how the finish product will be like. Current planning and design discussion are expected to come up with a final design this summer. The new car will be delivered to dealers by the end of the year.

Motoring reports that Europe may be the biggest market for the newly designed car, but there is also a plan to sell it in Australia. Market research had shown that other car manufacturers are having a field day in the small car department and Citroen thinks it's high time to get a piece of the action. For 2015 the car company was only able to sell less than a thousand units which translated to diminish of12.5 percent of its sale for the C3 Picasso.

To get a better idea of the concept that Citroen is planning for the future, it is best to learn some details on the old Citroen Picasso C3. According to Auto Car, there are basically 2 engines to choose from. First is the Puretech 110. It is a 109 HP, 3 cylinders, 1.2-liter engine. The second option car buyers can choose is the BlueHDI 100 diesel engine. It has a power of 98 HP and a torque 187 lb/ft. A little bit stronger than the gasoline engine, its pulling power is more relaxed compared to the other one. Both engines can be connected to a 5-speed manual transmission gear shift. There is no automatic option on this car
