After C3 Aircross, a resounding sales success having sold in 80,000 units, C5 Aircross, launched in China and having already sold in 40,000 units, and C4 Aircross, unveiled in late April at the Beijing Motor Show, Citroën is pursuing its international SUV offensive with the reveal of the European version of C5 Aircross.
Listening closely to the expectations of customers who do not want to forfeit practicality for image anymore, Citroën is moving into the SUV segment, a growing market accounting for a quarter of car sales worldwide, by offering motorists an alternative response. To the aspirational body styling of the model, Citroën has added a whole new experience of in-car comfort. The move demonstrates the Brand's ability to reassert, in addition to its unique identity, benchmark comfort by opening the way to a new generation of SUVs inspired by customers.
NEW C5 AIRCROSS SUV: A UNIQUE PERSONALITY IN THE SEGMENT
Boasting a strong personality, New C5 Aircross SUV stands apart through its singular, energetic and assertive attitude.

The cabin instantly gives an impression of protection and spaciousness, with an emphatically horizontal dashboard and enveloping seats, a height position that gives the feeling of dominating the road, as well as a wide central console and warm materials.

Some 30 combinations are available outside, with seven body colours, a black two-tone roof offering and three Color Packs comprising coloured inserts on the front bumper, the Airbump® on the lower part of the front doors, and the roof bars. It also comes with five interior ambiances, whose matching colours and materials afford clarity and warmth in a trendy and premium “casual chic” style.
