The famous French car company Citroën introduced its new generation Citroen C5 Aircross to the whole world on 29 April 2025. This SUV is in the news due to its powerful look and new technology, but along with this, it is also setting a new level of comfort and convenience for family use. The design of this vehicle is inspired by the concept model shown at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, and about 90-95% of the same look has been retained in the production model, which makes it even more special.
The new Citroen C5 Aircross is built on the Stellantis Group’s STLA medium platform, which makes it possible to offer it in petrol, hybrid, and fully electric versions. It measures 4,652 mm in length and has a wheelbase of 2,784 mm, which is 150 mm longer and 60 mm wider than the old model. Now let’s understand the features of this SUV a little more closely.
New Citroen C5 Aircross Design and Look
Talking about the design, the new Citroen C5 Aircross looks more stylish and powerful than before. At the front, new LED headlights and daytime running lights give it a futuristic look. At the rear, wrap-around LED taillights and ‘AIRCROSS’ branding give it a premium feel. Its new 20-inch alloy wheels and floating roofline further enhance its royal image.
Other than this, the design team has also given extra attention to the aerodynamics of the car. Flaps and air inlets have been used in it, which reduce drag by controlling the air flow and improve mileage. The height of the SUV is 1.66 meters, which makes it look even stronger and stylish.
Interior and Technology
Now let’s talk about its interior, which gives a complete lounge-like feel and is perfect for family use. The ‘C-Zen Lounge’ idea has been taken forward. The seats have ‘Advanced Comfort’ technology, which has thick cushioning and adjustable side supports, which do not cause fatigue even on long drives.
There is a fully digital instrument cluster and a vertical touchscreen infotainment system on the dashboard. The rear seats can be tilted back up to 11 degrees, which provides a lot of comfort to the rear occupants. There is a boot space of 651 liters, which is enough to keep luggage. Due to Citroen’s special hydraulic cushion suspension technology, this SUV runs smoothly even on bad roads.
Now let’s talk about its engine options. You get many types of powertrains in it. The mild-hybrid version has a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder petrol engine that gives 145 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid model has a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine and a 123 horsepower electric motor, which together give 195 horsepower and an electric range of about 53 miles.
Powertrain and Range
Its most special version is the fully electric e-C5 Aircross, which comes with a 73 kWh or 97 kWh battery pack. It has single or dual-motor options, which give power from 213 to 230 horsepower and a range of 520 to 697 kilometers. It also has 160 kW DC fast charging support, which makes it charge quickly. Due to these options, this car also becomes a good option for those who are conscious about the environment.
Price
Now let’s talk about its launch and price. Its production will start in the second half of 2025, and it will be launched in Europe by November 2025. It will also be launched in India around mid-2025. Its starting price can be £30,000 (ie, around ₹ 32 lakhs) for the mild-hybrid version, while the price of the electric version will be slightly higher.
