Citroen has revealed the European version of the C5
Aircross, its latest compact SUV that debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show last
year.
The new Citroen C5 Aircross wants to stand out in a
crowded segment, thanks to its comfort, spaciousness and modularity; customers
will benefit from Citroen’s latest suspension with Progressive Hydraulic
Cushions as standard on all models, as well as the Advanced Comfort seats,
features that debuted in the updated C4 Cactus.
The practical interior also features three
individual, sliding, folding and inclining rear seats, as well as a
best-in-class luggage space that ranges between 580lt to 720lt. Citroen will
offer the new C5 Aircross in a total of 30 combinations, including seven body colors,
a black two-tone roof option and three color packs that add a splash of color
on the front bumper, the Airbump on the front doors and the roof bars.
The driver’s instrument panel features a 12.3-inch
TFT digital display that offers three graphic styles while a perfectly
integrated eight-inch infotainment system offers pretty much every connectivity
option you could ask, including Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Mirrorlink.
Citroen wanted the C5 Aircross to be one of the most
relaxing SUVs in its class and for that, they installed double-laminated front
windows with an insulated layer and paid extra attention to the soundproofing
of the engine compartment,
The new Citroen C5 Aircross comes with a wide range
of active safety systems, featuring things like Active Safety Brake, Active
Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Collision Risk
Alert, Highway Driver Assist and more.
European customers will be offered two petrol
versions (PureTech 130 S&S six-speed manual and PureTech 180 S&S
eight-speed automatic) and three diesel options (BlueHDi 130 six-speed manual,
BlueHDi 130 S&S eight-speed automatic and BlueHDi 180 S&S eight-speed
automatic). Citroen said that the plug-in hybrid version will arrive in late
2019.
Sales of the new Citroen C5 Aircross in Europe are
expected to begin at the end of the year, with Euro-spec models to be produced
in France, at the Rennes-La Janais plant.
