CITROËN C5 AIRCROSS ÉMERAUDE: THE CALL OF THE OPEN SEA, WITH ADDED COMFORT

• A year after the launch of its new generation, the Citroën C5 Aircross is expanding its range with a new special edition: the C5 Aircross Émeraude.
• With its new Emerald Blue colour, unique customisation features, distinctive interior ambience and comfort-focused equipment, this special edition brings a fresh look to the brand’s family SUV.
• Émeraude is a nod to the Emeraude Coast, situated a few kilometres from Rennes-la-Janais, the production site for a model developed and manufactured in France.
• It is also a reference to the colour of the ocean, a symbol of escape for an SUV that invites you to travel in distinctive comfort.
• This special edition will be previewed at the Breton Economic Forum on 10 September and go on sale in October 2026.

Poissy, September 9, 2026 – Citroën has unveiled the C5 Aircross Emeraude special edition, which joins the range one year after the launch of the new-generation C5 Aircross. This model has taken on a whole new dimension. Its bolder design, refined aerodynamics, generous interior space and high level of comfort now make it the flagship model showcasing Citroën’s expertise. It also brings together the various electrification solutions offered by the brand, with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and 100% electric powertrains. In its extended-range electric version, the C5 Aircross can achieve a WLTP range of up to 680 km, offering freedom of movement suited to both everyday use and long journeys.

This special edition celebrates Citroën’s particular vision of travel: a journey where comfort matters just as much as the destination, and where the journey itself becomes an experience in its own. An experience that begins in Brittany, in Rennes, just a few kilometres from the Emeraude Coast, and which naturally invites you to go further.

EMERAUDE: A NEW SIGNATURE FOR THE C5 AIRCROSS

The Emerald Blue body colour is the first thing you notice and is the signature feature of this new special edition. It sparks the imagination. Deep and luminous, it brings a new personality to the C5 Aircross and enriches its colour palette. It is a shade that is both elegant and dynamic, naturally echoing the landscapes of Brittany and the shifting hues of the sea. These elements are evocative of the C5 Aircross production site and long-distance journeys.

This exterior finish is complemented by various distinctive details in the same theme, such as the Emerald Blue ‘Color Clips’ on the front bumper and front door protection, the French flag subtly incorporated into the rear wing’s aerodynamic appendages, and the ‘Emeraude’ signature positioned right beside it.

It should be noted that this special edition is also available in the colours Perla Nera Black, Platinum Grey, Okenite White and Astoria Green.

The Emeraude special edition is based on the PLUS trim level. Inside, the C5 Aircross Emeraude features a unique Emerald interior theme that brings a sense of understated elegance and brightness to the cabin. In a touch of attention to detail, a blue accent – echoing the special edition’s theme – appears on a label on the front seats and on an embossed insert in the fabric section of the dashboard, in front of the passenger. Floor mats complete the refined look of this version.  And to further enhance on-board comfort, the special edition is equipped with an electric driver’s seat, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a second-row armrest, wireless smartphone charging, a hands-free power tailgate, as well as the Drive Assist 2.0 Pack:

-           Lane positioning assist

-           Reversing traffic alert (up to 40 metres)

-           Semi-automatic lane change assist

-           Advance speed limit warning

-           Long-range blind spot monitoring system (up to 75 metres)

A new take on the C5 Aircross, both distinctive and elegant, whilst never losing sight of what makes it unique.

C5 AIRCROSS: COMFORT IS ITS TRADEMARK

With this special edition, Citroën is once again highlighting what makes the C5 Aircross unique: its approach to travel. The new generation of the C5 Aircross has been designed with a simple aim in mind: to make every journey a comfortable experience. Its Citroën Advanced Comfort® suspension with progressive hydraulic stops smooths out road imperfections, whilst the Advanced Comfort® seats help to create a sense of well-being from the very first few kilometres.

On board, the generous space in the rear seats and the boot capacity mean you can tackle long journeys without compromise. The dashboard features the spectacular 13-inch HD Waterfall touchscreen, whilst numerous driver-assistance systems contribute to a more relaxed driving experience.

The C5 Aircross thus offers a different approach to the SUV: not just taking its passengers somewhere but making them want to extend the journey.

FROM RENNES TO THE EMERAUDE COAST

The choice of the name ‘Émeraude’ is, of course, no coincidence. The C5 Aircross is manufactured in Rennes-La Janais, in Brittany, where the plant has been assembling this new generation of the model since its launch. The model is thus directly linked to a region renowned for its landscapes, its heritage and its connection to the sea. Just a few kilometres from the factory, the Emeraude Coast provides a natural source of inspiration for this new colour. But beyond the colour itself, the C5 Aircross Émeraude is above all an opportunity to showcase French industrial expertise.

The Rennes-La Janais site has been one of Citroën’s historic production sites for over 60 years. With the C5 Aircross Émeraude, Citroën is thus championing a wholly French value chain: conceived, designed and manufactured in France.
