Chunky new C5 Aircross unveiled at the Shanghai Motor show. Flagship 300bhp hybrid on the way; most powerful Citreon ever.
CITROEN has kick-started its SUV roll-out by revealing the all-new C5 Aircross at the Shanghai Motor Show. With styling inspired by the Aircross concept revealed at the same show in 2015, it sits on the PSA Group’s EMP2 platform, which is shared with sister cars the Peugeot 3008 and the DS 7 Crossback, plus Vauxhall’s Grandland X (see Page 12). What’s more, it features plug-in hybrid technology.
Citroen says that the 2015 concept exhibited a ‘colourful’ personality in terms of design, and the production C5 Aircross carries over a near identical shape, although some design elements have been toned down for production. The floating roof with 360-degree windows, capped off with the new chrome C-pillar design, has made the cut, alongside flared wheel arches and Air-bump-equipped body cladding for a chunky look.
