Citroen is making some bold claims for the next-generation C5, going as far as saying it will reinvent the sedan segment.

While many automakers are shifting all of their focus to SUVs and crossovers, the French brand believes that any credible auto manufacturer needs to be present in all main sectors of the automotive market. However, in a world where SUVs are currently the vehicles which consumers lust after, a change is definitely needed.


One key way which Citroen will overhaul the sedan is with a punchy design that takes inspiration from the head-turning CXperience concept.

According to Xavier Peugeot, the sedan of the future could make autonomy its selling point, while SUVs remain the popular choice as a traditional family car.
