• Marked with Citroën’s characteristic “ë” and signature of its electric range, this collection is rolled out on the ë-C4, ë-C4 X, the two 100% electric hatchbacks, as well as on the C5 Aircross in its Plug-in Hybrid version and the brand new Hybrid 136 version.

Poissy, 1^st  September 2023 – Citroën is presenting a new limited edition that follows on from the C-Series collection and is rolled out on its electric C-segment models. The various hybrid versions of the ë-C4, ë-C4 X and C5 Aircross share a style packed with character, with pearl white livery contrasting with black graphic elements such as the two-tone roof and the alloy wheels. Inside, these versions enhance Citroën’s signature comfort by adopting a new light-coloured ambience, creating a bright and serene on-board feeling. This is reinforced by the seats’ fabric, which is made of a new-generation Alcantara®, which is soft, warm and eco-responsible thanks to the inclusion of 68% recycled fibres in its design.

Customers looking for a darker interior will have the option of ordering the dark harmony, with Alcantara® already in the range on each of these models. Other exterior colours are also available, combined with the two-tone black roof.

Ë-SERIES: SIGNATURE OF THE C-SEGMENT ELECTRIC RANGE

Citroën stands out with models that offer a unique and daring design and an on-board comfort experience not found anywhere else. Models that now offer customers in the C segment the possibility of choosing the energy that best suits their use and budget, regardless of model or equipment level. To showcase its electric range in this segment, Citroën is today unveiling the ë-Series collection. The “ë” is an emblematic element of Citroën and a true signature of its electric range.

This special series full of character applies to the following models:

ë-C4 and ë-C4 X, Citroën’s two electric hatchbacks in the C segment. Starting with the Plus level, the ë-C4 and ë-C4 X ë-Series also offer the new My Citroën Drive Plus infotainment system and hands-free starting. The ë-Series is available with the most affordable 100kw (136hp) – 50kWh engine/battery combination with a range of 360km, but also in the new 115kw (156hp) – 54kWh version with a range of 420km, currently being launched, which offers more performance and a greater range. Two hatchbacks that offer a differentiating design and an on-board experience only available from Citroën.

C5 Aircross – the SUV offering comfort-class travel. Based on the top-of-the-range Max level, the C5 Aircross ë-Series also offers Highway Driver Assist.  It also provides a wide range of options, as it is available in the ë-Series either in its top-of-the-range Hybrid Plug-In 225 version, or in a more accessible Hybrid Plug-In 180 version launched at the beginning of the year, which can travel up to 60km on 100% electric power. It is also offered in the brand-new Hybrid 136 version, an electric model with no charging constraints, offering driving pleasure and up to 15% less CO₂ emissions than the equivalent non-electric version. Citroën is therefore offering an SUV with a unique attitude on the road, as well as versatility and comfort of use that stand out on the market.

Through this limited edition, packed with style and promoting well-being, Citroën is highlighting the deployment of a strong and coherent electric range. Models which offer a smooth drive, with no vibrations or engine noise, enhanced by on-board comfort symbolised by Citroën’s signature Advanced Comfort, including an innovative suspension system and plush seats. Smooth and pleasant driving in electric mode without shifting gears, energetic and responsive thanks to the high torque immediately available. Electric driving with zero CO₂ emissions for free and unrestricted driving in all areas with traffic restrictions.

A DYNAMIC AND CONTRASTING VISUAL IDENTITY

The three silhouettes share the same exterior livery, which gives them an identity that is at once prestigious, elegant and dynamic. It is based mainly on a refined and luminous exterior colour, pearl white, to which graphic elements are applied to add relief and character while energising the silhouette.

The first of these is the black Perla Nera roof that is standard on the ë-Series edition. Already familiar from the C4 and C5 Aircross, this roof is a new feature on the C4 X range. Introduced on this new limited edition, it will also be available on the rest of the range. The entire roof becomes black, a look which extends across the dark-tinted rear window, giving a fluid feel and a fleeting appearance that makes the car’s silhouette more dynamic. With this two-tone combination, the C4 X takes on the air of a coupé, without losing the practicality of its spacious back seat and large boot volume.

In addition, each silhouette adopts full-black alloy wheels, with the 18” AEROBLADE Black alloy wheels on the ë-C4 and ë-C4 X, which are new and specific to this special series on these two models, and the 19” ART Black alloy wheels on the C5 Aircross, which give these models’ silhouette an assertive style and plenty of character. For added contrast, each vehicle is presented with tinted rear side windows, rear quarter windows and rear window. The waistline is very distinctive, with a pearl white central section framed by a black lower and upper section. The ë-Series then adopts a very structured style, with the perception of the car’s height enhanced by the bands of colour. 

This combination of pearl white body colour with black graphics is the signature of this ë-Series collection, although the customer can also choose other colours available in the range, always combined with black graphics.

The ë-Series also includes the Dark Chrome colour pack, which is applied to the bumper inserts and the Airbump®, giving each model a distinctive touch. This pack is also new to the ë-Series on C4 and C4 X (though already an option on C5 Aircross). Finally, this limited edition is signed with an “ë-Series” monogram, a clever mix of glossy black, aluminium and white on the rear flap of the three vehicles.

A NEW LIGHT INTERIOR AMBIENCE FOR GREATER SERENITY

Well-being on board is a true signature for Citroën. The ë-Series models take this commitment to heart by offering an exclusive light interior ambience that is new. This choice of light and warm materials is intended to create a brighter interior harmony, creating a more Zen-like and soothing atmosphere, while enhancing the sense of space on board. Stepping inside an ë-Series banishes negative thoughts to relax you in a cocoon of comfort.

This light colour can be applied with a tone-on-tone contrast for a very graphic interior ambience. The light grey seats, backrests and armrests are set off by the medium grey applied to the edge of the seat, contours, upper backrest and headrests. A medium grey is also found on the insets on the C4 and C4 X and the door armrests on the C5 Aircross. On the C4 and C4 X, the door sills are decorated in white, in line with the band at the top of the seat backs.  This colour scheme is repeated at the front and rear. This very horizontal seat structure, which extends into the door panels, helps to reinforce the perception of the width of the space on board and gives great coherence to the passenger compartment.

An interior with a focus on detail, to value the occupants. This is the case, for example, in the design of the seats, which feature the “bubble panels” characteristic of the Citroën style, providing the graphic signature of the seats and visually reinforcing the notion of comfort. Or in the fabric band on the upper part of the seat, which has a herringbone pattern and emphasises the horizontal aspect and structure on board. Or, finally, with the “ë” labels on the inside of the front seats, which act as the ë-Series signature on board each model.

For customers who want a more dynamic and darker interior, the ë-Series is also available with Alcantara® seats in the range’s existing dark harmony.

A NEW WARM AND RESPONSIBLE ALCANTARA® UPHOLSTERY

The ë-Series models choose quality materials such as Alcantara® for the seat, backrest and armrests. This fabric adds to the perceived quality and warmth of the interior. Soft to the touch, it also provides better support for occupants. It is a very popular material in the automotive sector, associated with high-end interiors.

Available specifically on the ë-Series in a light harmony, this Alcantara® is also manufactured in an innovative way, fully incorporating environmental issues, with 68% of its outer surface is made of recycled fibres. On-board comfort is therefore completed by the peace of mind of knowing that you are driving an eco-responsible electric model incorporating additional means of reducing its environmental impact. This approach is fully in line with Citroën’s desire to offer its customers products and services that enable them to be responsible and relaxed citizens.
