The Citroen C5 Aircross is now in its second generation and is positioned as the flagship of the Citroen brand, reshaping the C-segment SUV class, the Citroen way.

Starting at 40,290 Euros plus additional costs, the all-new C5 Aircross is the biggest Citroen SUV ever made, thanks to the fact that it runs on the same bits and bobs as its Stellantis equivalents, the Peugeot 5008 and the Opel/Vauxhall Grandland. It's surprisingly bigger compared to the defunct Mitsubishi Outlander-based C-Crosser.

The all-new C5 Aircross brings its concept to life, proudly showcasing Citroën's fresh design theme and emphasizing its French elegance, making it a standout in the Citroën SUV lineup. Inside, it boasts a new HD Waterfall touchscreen, similar to other vehicles featuring vertical touchscreens. This touchscreen controls nearly every function of the car, including air conditioning, navigation, and driving modes. One of its most surprising features is the integration of OpenAI ChatGPT functionality.
Thanks to its sharp rise in dimensions compared to the previous C5 Aircross, this five-seater can accommodate up to 565 litres of boot space to a maximum of 1668 litres with the passenger seats folded down.

The all-new C5 Aircross is offered with the choice of a 145PS 1.2L Hybrid mated to an e-DSC6, a 1.6L PHEV with 195PS of power while mated to an e-DSC7, and the range-topping electric with a choice of a 73kWh and 97kWh battery packs, the latter of which promises up to 680km of driving range.
Now utilizing Stellantis' STLA Medium platform, the all-new C5 Aircross outperforms its predecessors. However, it remains a front-wheel drive vehicle, meaning it excels only on roads, not off-road. It's quite a contrast, isn't it?
In terms of safety, the all-new C5 Aircross features a wide array of safety features such as the semi-automatic lane changing, Rear Traffic Alert, driver surveillance camera, extended blind spot direction, VisioPark, and others.
The all-new Citroen C5 Aircross is now officially the largest Citroen crossover SUV in the lineup, and despite its size, it feels enjoyable to drive. Looks like Citroen is officially on the roll right now.
