Aixam Crossline: a light quadricycle with no driver's license required
Aixam Crossline — the Aixam City with a crossover twist, produced since 2006. We'll explore its concept, tech, and what you need to know before buying.
Crossline in brief
The Crossline is a version of the Aixam City with a higher ride height and crossover styling. It's a light quadricycle (microcar) with a speed limiter.
In many countries, you can drive these cars with a lighter license category, but rules vary, so check Lithuania's requirements.
Which version to choose
Aixam offers several City variants, with Crossline and Crossover being the more crossover-like versions. Your choice depends on the trim, age, and engine condition.
For most buyers, the key is the technical condition and a thorough inspection, as these cars are often used daily.
Engine and tech
Aixam microcars are typically powered by small two-cylinder diesel engines with around 0.5-litre displacement and limited power. Transmission is a CVT (continuously variable transmission), front-wheel drive.
Due to its low power, the car is suited to city and suburban trips. Safety standards differ from those for light cars, and similar models scored poorly in Euro NCAP tests.
What to check when buying a Crossline
Check the engine operation, CVT belt, and oil leaks. Inspect the plastic body for cracks and damage.
Ensure the car is properly registered and matches your driver's license category. Ask for the service history.
