The Legendary CITROËN 2CV “Eggs Unbroken” Story Lives On After 107 Years

To celebrate the launch of the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS, PG Union specially showcased the iconic CITROËN 2CV at the event venue, reflecting CITROËN’s enduring commitment to comfortable mobility through more than 107 years of French automotive heritage and comfort philosophy.

Since its original conception in the 1930s, the CITROËN 2CV was famously engineered around the idea of “transporting eggs across rough roads without breaking them,” symbolizing the brand’s relentless pursuit of ride comfort and passenger well-being. Through its simple yet highly efficient engineering design, the CITROËN 2CV achieved an exceptionally smooth ride quality that even many luxury vehicles of its era could not match, while also balancing lightweight construction, practicality, and affordability. It became one of the defining foundations of CITROËN’s legendary comfort philosophy.

Following its official debut in 1948, the CITROËN 2CV remained in production for 42 years, achieving cumulative global sales of more than 5.11 million units. It became one of the most iconic vehicles in French automotive history and a symbol of CITROËN’s lasting influence on comfort technology and accessible mobility.

Inspired by the classic CITROËN 2CV “eggs unbroken” story, the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS launch event also featured a special cross-industry collaboration with Dachan Great Wall Group, which provided its premium “Dachan Fresh Eggs” as exclusive guest gifts, further interpreting CITROËN’s philosophy of comfortable mobility and refined lifestyle quality.

In recent years, Dachan Great Wall Group has collaborated technologically with Japan’s Showa Sangyo, a company with more than 60 years of experience in the egg industry, introducing Japanese hygiene management systems and quality standards. The company has also established a comprehensive quality management process covering feed formulation, intelligent egg washing and grading, and cold-chain logistics, creating premium egg products that fully comply with Japanese raw-egg consumption standards.

Among them, the “Dachan Fresh Eggs” product has also received multiple professional recognitions, including TAP traceability certification, National Taiwan University Salmonella Monitoring & Cleanliness Certification, and the 2023 Food Innovation Award, highlighting its outstanding achievements in food safety, quality management, and industrial innovation.

Through this collaboration, CITROËN not only continues the brand’s legendary “eggs unbroken” comfort philosophy, but also reinterprets the all-new CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS’s commitment to comfort technology and ride experience in a way that resonates more closely with modern lifestyles.

Third Consecutive Year Partnering with Wei Chuan Dragons Baseball Team

PG Union also continues to deepen its connection with local lifestyle and sports culture through its partnership with the Wei Chuan Dragons professional baseball team. In 2026, the collaboration enters its third consecutive year under the annual theme “Double Dragon Strike,” continuing the spirit of #Be龍WithMe by integrating sports culture with everyday lifestyle experiences and showcasing a more approachable, lifestyle-oriented CITROËN brand identity.

Echoing the “Step Into the Comfort Zone” core concept of the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS, the launch event also featured a special opening performance by the Wei Chuan Dragons cheerleading team “Dragon Beauties.” Popular members Lai Ke, Pei Pei, Chun Chun, Ma Mei, and Hsin Hsuan delivered an energetic and vibrant performance alongside the team’s annual theme song, officially unveiling the all-new CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS while creating a lively and festive atmosphere for guests at the venue.

Through its continued partnership with the Wei Chuan Dragons, CITROËN further extends the brand’s emphasis on precision technology and comfortable mobility into baseball culture and everyday lifestyle settings, presenting a new-generation French comfort brand image that is closer to consumers’ daily lives.

A New Era of French Comfortable Living

The all-new CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS is priced from NT$1.168 million (including applicable government vehicle replacement and purchase incentives). The vehicle is now officially available at CITROËN showrooms across Taiwan, inviting customers to personally experience the charm of the new-generation “French Comfortable Hybrid SUV.”

French Comfort Fully Evolved — Setting a New Benchmark for Next-Generation Hybrid Family SUVs

Remaining true to CITROËN’s long-standing commitment to comfortable mobility, the all-new CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS is built around the brand’s “5C French Comfort Philosophy.” Through five key pillars — “COMFY,” “COZY,” “CHIC,” “CARING,” and “COST-SAVING” — the vehicle fully embodies the next-generation French comfortable hybrid SUV experience, allowing every occupant to enjoy the relaxed and refined atmosphere of French-inspired living.

Built on the latest STLA MEDIUM modular platform from STELLANTIS, the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS combines a next-generation vehicle architecture with optimized spatial design and upgraded comfort technologies. The result is a substantial enhancement in cabin spaciousness, ride comfort, hybrid integration, driving refinement, and technological experience, creating a new-generation French comfortable hybrid SUV tailored to modern family needs.

The CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS further delivers class-leading spaciousness with a best-in-class 2,784 mm wheelbase and 236 mm rear knee room. Combined with a more open cabin layout and reclining rear seatbacks, it significantly enhances long-distance comfort and cabin versatility.

A New-Generation SUV Combining Aesthetics and Aerodynamics

The CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS adopts the brand’s latest design language, featuring a sleek and modern silhouette combined with aerodynamically driven styling and next-generation lighting signatures. The result is a forward-looking French SUV design that balances elegance, spaciousness, and modern sophistication while redefining flagship midsize SUV styling standards.

The overall exterior design integrates clean yet expressive proportions with a solid body stance and flowing lines, delivering both SUV robustness and aerodynamic efficiency.

At the front, the vehicle features horizontally extended design elements and CITROËN’s new-generation lighting identity. A newly designed double-chevron emblem is paired with CITROËN MATRIX LED headlamps and matrix C-shaped LED daytime running lights, creating a distinctive and highly technological visual signature.

The CITROËN MATRIX LED headlamps consist of 20 precisely arranged LED elements and feature adaptive lighting technology capable of automatically adjusting illumination patterns according to driving conditions and road environments, providing safer and more precise nighttime visibility.

Along the side profile, wider tracks, pronounced shoulder lines, and a dynamic character line extending toward the rear create a powerful and stable SUV stance. The roofline subtly slopes downward behind the second row, improving aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining spacious cabin comfort and family-oriented practicality.

At the rear, the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS introduces the LIGHT WING aerodynamic LED lighting signature, continuing the brand’s iconic three-point lighting identity. Combined with dual-tone airflow-inspired textures, the design creates a broader and more stable visual impression. Wing-shaped outer lighting elements, integrated airflow channels, and aerodynamic fin structures not only enhance futuristic styling but also improve rear airflow management and aerodynamic performance.

Additional aerodynamic optimization elements — including a closed front fascia, side airflow management features, rear aerodynamic fins, and multiple airflow-guiding details — effectively reduce drag and turbulence at higher speeds, helping achieve a drag coefficient of Cd 0.29.

These aerodynamic improvements not only enhance high-speed stability and cabin quietness, but also contribute to greater energy efficiency and driving range, fully demonstrating the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS’s integration of design aesthetics, technology, and efficiency.

A Next-Generation French Interior Designed Like a Living Room

The CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS introduces the all-new C-ZEN LOUNGE serenity-inspired cabin concept, designed around the idea of a “mobile living room.” Through a more spacious atmosphere, premium material finishes, and upgraded human-centric interfaces, the cabin delivers a new-generation French interior experience that blends comfort, technology, and lifestyle.

Built on the STLA MEDIUM platform, the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS offers class-leading interior dimensions, including a 2,784 mm wheelbase and best-in-class 236 mm rear knee room. Combined with a spacious cabin layout and adjustable rear seatbacks, it further strengthens its positioning as a family-oriented comfort SUV.

Creating a Home-Like Atmosphere with Ambient Lighting

Inspired by modern living-room environments, the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS cabin incorporates furniture-inspired design elements and premium materials to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

A horizontally extended dashboard design wrapped in high-quality foam materials visually extends into the door panels and seating areas, creating a cohesive and enveloping cabin environment that fully expresses the “SOFA DESIGN” philosophy.

The vehicle is also equipped with extended ambient lighting featuring eight selectable colors across the dashboard, door panels, and center console, enhancing depth and immersion within the cabin. Color accents inspired by the exterior design further emphasize refined French styling details.

Delivering Best-in-Class Ride Comfort

The entire CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS lineup is equipped with next-generation CITROËN ADVANCED COMFORT® seats. Seat foam thickness has been increased by 15 mm compared with the previous generation, while newly developed composite foam materials and optimized support structures further improve softness, comfort, and long-distance relaxation.

The upper seatback section adopts a shawl-inspired wraparound structure extending downward into lateral support areas, enhancing body support during long journeys. Rear passengers also benefit from premium foam seating and reclining seatback adjustment between 21° and 33°. MAX models further include three-stage heated rear seats.

The CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS also features PROGRESSIVE HYDRAULIC CUSHIONS® suspension technology. Through progressive hydraulic stops, the system effectively absorbs road imperfections and impacts to deliver the signature “magic carpet ride” sensation. Compared with conventional suspension systems, PHC® provides softer responses over minor road undulations while efficiently dissipating energy over larger impacts, balancing ride comfort with body stability and composure.

The MAX trim exclusively introduces the “French Champs-Élysées Seat Package” specially secured for the Taiwan market. Featuring satin grey dual-material upholstery combining soft-touch leather and breathable premium fabric, the package includes 14-way electrically adjustable front seats, driver memory function, eight-mode pneumatic massage seats, three-stage ventilation and heating, and adjustable side bolsters — creating an exceptionally premium comfort experience.

A More Intuitive Human-Machine Experience

The CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS features a 13-inch WATERFALL-style full-color HD touchscreen interface with a futuristic vertical layout extending from the dashboard toward the center console, creating a more immersive and technological cockpit atmosphere.

The system integrates navigation, multimedia, communication, and vehicle settings into a centralized interface for more intuitive operation and enhanced convenience. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® connectivity are also included as standard.

All models feature a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, while MAX models additionally receive the E-HUD extended head-up display, presenting key information such as speed, traffic sign recognition, driving assistance data, multimedia, and phone functions within the driver’s natural line of sight. This minimizes distraction while enhancing safety and immersion.

Designed Around Family Needs

With its extended 2,784 mm wheelbase, the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS delivers exceptional cabin spaciousness. Rear knee room reaches a class-leading 236 mm — an increase of 51 mm over the previous generation — while rear headroom improves by 68 mm, significantly enhancing rear passenger comfort.

The vehicle also features flexible 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats and adjustable rear seatbacks for greater versatility. Luggage capacity reaches 651 liters in standard configuration and expands to more than 1,900 liters with the rear seats folded.

The luggage floor features adjustable height settings and an additional 75 dm³ storage compartment beneath the floor. Combined with a flat loading surface and multiple storage solutions totaling nearly 40 liters throughout the cabin, the vehicle fully demonstrates its practicality as a next-generation family SUV. A power tailgate is also included as standard.

Additional French-inspired design details further enrich the cabin experience, including geometric motifs inspired by French architecture on the rear windshield, historical CITROËN vehicle references within the glovebox, and musical-note speaker detailing — all expressing the philosophy of “simple yet extraordinary.”

Efficient, Intelligent, and Comfortable Electrified Driving

The CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS features next-generation P2 HYBRID technology, now evolved into the third-generation PureTech hybrid powertrain. Paired with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and integrated electric motor, the system delivers a combined output of 145 ps and a top speed of 201 km/h.

The intelligent hybrid system provides smooth and nearly imperceptible transitions between gasoline and electric power, delivering refined French driving comfort without requiring external charging.

In urban driving conditions, the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS can operate in pure electric mode for up to 50% of driving time. The system also enables short-distance EV driving below 30 km/h and automatically switches to electric mode during cruising and coasting situations to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

Regenerative braking further improves energy efficiency, while the electric motor provides instant torque assistance during acceleration and overtaking for smoother and more responsive driving performance.

Fuel efficiency reaches 19.9 km/L, while the vehicle also becomes the only European-imported hybrid SUV in its segment capable of pure electric driving. Annual fuel and license taxes are only NT$8,640, further lowering ownership costs.

Safer and More Relaxed Driving

The CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS is equipped with a comprehensive suite of ADAS technologies utilizing multiple sensors and intelligent computing systems to monitor surrounding traffic conditions and enhance safety performance.

The system includes ESC electronic stability control, ACC adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, ASB autonomous emergency braking, BSM blind spot monitoring, DAA driver attention alert, EPB electronic parking brake, FCW forward collision warning, HBA automatic high beam assist, HSA hill-start assist, ISA intelligent speed adaptation, LKA lane keeping assist, LPA lane positioning assist, and RCTA rear cross traffic alert.

All models also feature a 180° rear-view camera, while MAX models are equipped with the VISIOPARK 360° surround-view parking assistance system for enhanced maneuverability and safety in urban environments.

Built on the STLA MEDIUM platform with a high-strength body structure and advanced safety engineering, the CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS delivers a next-generation French comfortable hybrid SUV experience balancing comfort, safety, and refinement.
