The compact crossover segment is wide and varied, but the trio of vehicles built on the same platform deserve special attention. Yes, these are Mitsubishi ASX, Citroen C4 Aircross and Peugeot 4008.
The popularity of compact crossovers has grown rapidly in recent years, which is why many automakers have their representatives in this segment. The Japanese-French trinity in the face of Mitsubishi ASX, Citroen C4 Aircross and Peugeot 4008 looks interesting. And the most interesting is the fact that all models are based on the same platform, and outwardly very similar, so it is rather difficult to choose a suitable crossover from them. Although, maybe everything is much simpler than it seems?
