Hankook Tires as Original Fitment on the new Citroën C3 Aircross

Since November 2017, many of the new compact #suv from Citroën have been leaving the assembly line in Saragossa/Spain equipped with #hankook tyres. The #hankook tyres used for original fitment on the #suv, resulting from the C-Aircross study presented in Geneva in 2017, are the premium comfort summer tyre Ventus Prime³ or the all-weather variant Kinergy 4S, depending on size and customer requirements. The tyres are available in sizes 195/60 R16 89H and 215/50 R17 91H as Kinergy 4S all-weather tyre and 205/60 R16 92H in both variants.

Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 22 January 2018
With sales figures on the #suv market increasing all the time, Citroën has launched the #c3aircross on the market, a compact #suv version that feels at home both in town as well as on light terrain. The French manufacturer has decided to include summer and all-weather tyres from #hankook in its list of approved original fitment tyres. There is a choice of #hankook tyres - the Kinergy 4S (all-weather) in the sizes 195/60 R16 89H, 205/60 R16 92H and 215/50 R17 91H as well as Ventus Prime³ in size 205/60 R16 92H (summer).

The Citroën #c3aircross stands for a young, lively design. Thanks to a high personalisation factor, it also impresses with a whole host of different customisation options. The choice of driving modes (including standard, sand, terrain, snow) guarantee best possible support when driving on and off tarmac roads in wide ranging weather conditions. Alongside very good driving characteristics, the development engineers’ requirement specification for the new Citroën compact #suv included low consumption and the related low pollutant emission. The #c3aircross offers a convincing combination of driving pleasure, economy and environmental efficiency. These characteristics include effective support in the form of particularly low rolling resistance of the #hankook tyres. In addition, #hankook development engineers found very good handling in wet and active dry handling particularly important. At the end of the day, the balanced performance of the #hankook tyres in terms of driving pleasure, safety and environment characteristics made the decisive difference for the car maker.

“We are looking forward to a strengthened relationship with the second largest car manufacturer in Europe, now adding the Citroën brand as well,” said Tony Lee, Vice President Marketing & Sales at #hankook Tire Europe. “Since we deliver original fitment tyres to the sister brands Opel/Vauxhall and Peugeot, we see great potential for more intensified cooperation, particularly on the European market, which is very important for us.”
