  • New C5 Aircross will go on sale in Europe in the second half of 2025.

Citroën has revealed New C5 Aircross, completing the renewal of its range in less than two years. As the brand's new flagship, it represents the best of Citroën's model range, with each promoting the same values in their own distinctive territory: accessible, versatile products offering the choice of power, while displaying a strong identity, distinctive comfort, and ease of use.

With New C5 Aircross, Citroën is taking on a new dimension in the mid-sized SUV market, a key segment in Europe. This spectacular new model fulfils all the promises of the C5 Aircross Concept unveiled back in autumn 2024 at the Paris Motor Show. This second-generation C5 Aircross is a step forward in every respect, providing a clever and comprehensive response to the expectations of customers in this segment.

Its design is powerful and muscular, yet slender and full of aerodynamic tricks. Its comfort sets a new benchmark among mid-sized SUVs, with the feeling of travelling in comfort class in a cabin that offers immense space in row twoas well as generous boot volume. Onboard, it gives the impression of travelling in a high-tech cocoon, Advanced Comfort® suspension with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions, and a dashboard that features a large, easy-to-use Cascade touchscreen.

New C5 Aircross offers greater peace of mind by incorporating driving aids that make life easier, such as the Citroën Matrix LED headlights or Drive Assist 2.0. By offering a choice of several electrified powertrains to suit different needs, Citroën is setting new standards of freedom of movement; more than 62 miles in electric mode in the plug-in hybrid version for everyday journeys in town, up to 422 miles (WLTP combined cycle*) in the electric version, and more than 559 miles in the hybrid version (WLTP combined cycle*).

Most of the new developments on New C5 Aircross come from the STLA-Medium platform. This platform offers great flexibility both in terms of dimensions, with a longer wheelbase to enhance passenger space, and in terms of powertrains, making it ideal for both hybrid and all-electric versions. Its intelligent design means that it can accommodate a range of batteries without losing any space in the passenger compartment, and can also accommodate large wheels with a diameter of 740mm and up to 20 inches. Additionally, the STLA-M platform offers customers a host of driving aids and the latest generation of connectivity and infotainment systems, making driving even more pleasant and stress-free.

Developed in France and assembled at Citroën's Rennes plant, New C5 Aircross will go on sale in the main European markets in the second half of 2025.

  1.  POWERFUL, GENEROUS SUV DESIGNED FOR AERODYNAMICS

New C5 Aircross continues and enhances Citroën's design revival, offering bold styling with a powerful stance, combined with optimised aerodynamics and interior space. In an SUV market where architectural constraints and fashions result in models with exaggerated, large and inefficient design, Citroën has turned the situation on its head by combining the power of a muscular, assertive style with the aerodynamics of taut, flowing lines.

Design: An expression of power and aerodynamic research

Citroën's designers have thought out every part, every element, every component of New C5 Aircross with the aim of optimising both design and efficiency.

New C5 Aircross breaks with its curvy lines to adopt the tauter, sharper lines of Citroën's new design language. The silhouette is based on a wider track with a pronounced haunch that gives it a confident stance on the road. It presents itself as solid and robust with generous volumes, emphasising the simplicity of the overall silhouette.

The front panel expresses strength and fluidity, with the new Citroën logo proudly displayed at its centre. Citroën's new three-point light signature is displayed with particularly slender horizontal segments that underline the elegance of the front and reinforce the car's width. Citroën Matrix LED headlights are linked by a chic, discreet gloss black strip. Another element of distinction and attention to detail is the moulded streaks in the bumper, which enliven the flat surface and echo the chevron motif of the radiator grille. The overall impression is one of status, combining modernity, technology and character. On the electric version, the front section is completely enclosed to optimise aerodynamics and contribute to greater efficiency.

Its silhouette is sculpted for efficiency. From the side, New C5 Aircross has an edge line that travels from front to rear, from the grille to the tailgate. It adds tension and energy, without superfluous frills. The plunging nose of the bonnet is dynamic and allows New C5 Aircross to move easily through the air. With a clear focus on rear seat passengers, the roofline slopes slightly after row two to optimise aerodynamics, while preserving the volume of the passenger compartment. Thanks to the STLA-M platform, the height of New C5 Aircross is kept to 1.66m, which helps to improve air penetration while also improving interior space and preserving 200mm of ground clearance. Moreover, air deflectors and inlets have been integrated into various parts of the vehicle to further optimise its aerodynamic performance.

In a nod to the front panel, the streamlined rear of New C5 Aircross features a sophisticated horizontal gloss black facade. It highlights a vertical boot lid, designed to increase boot space. This strip helps to visually reinforce the vehicle's width, while the rear section is curved at the top to optimise aerodynamics and reveal muscular haunches. The rear features aerodynamic elements, with a design inspired by technology and electronic devices. The presence of these grooved elements on the rear panel help to guide the airflow.

As on the C5 Aircross Concept, Citroën's Light Wings are present on New C5 Aircross. The characteristic three-point light signature is particularly striking here, with the two exterior light points detached from the moulding. This innovation pursues both aesthetic objectives, a light signature that is unique on the market and a positioning that broadens the car's stance, and aerodynamic objectives. These lights combine a hollowed section with the two deflectors that protrude from the vehicle to guide air flow across the bodywork.

The focus on aerodynamics is evident, with tangible results that limit the impact of the body shape. At 0.75 SCx, there is a clear improvement over the previous generation (compared with 0.84 SCx for the previous C5 Aircross). This performance benefits customers with an additional electric range gain of more than 18 miles on the motorway.

Generous proportions and a signature design

Thanks to the possibilities offered by the STLA-M platform, Citroën has given New C5 Aircross a perfect balance, while favouring particularly generous dimensions: 4,652mm long (+150mm) and 1,902mm wide. The wheelbase has been extended to 2,784mm, 60mm more than the previous C5 Aircross, almost all of which is available in the rear legroom.

In terms of styling, this platform makes it possible to adopt a wheel diameter of 740mm (+20mm), combined with alloy wheels of up to 20 inches, a first for Citroën. These wheels add plenty of dynamism to the car's lateral styling. The spectacular wheels on New C5 Aircross benefit from a modular design, as is often the case with Citroën. The alloy wheels are designed to enhance aerodynamic efficiency, and the perforated sections help to cool the brakes.

New C5 Aircross has been fitted with colour clips, the signature design of the latest generation of Citroën models. These personalisation elements are interchangeable and give the car a unique look. These slender vertical elements, in gold or black gloss, are located on the front doors and the front of the vehicle. They add a touch of elegance in a sophisticated interplay with the horizontality of the radiator grille on the one hand, and with the rocker panels and the upper part of the wheel arches on the other.

  1. THE ULTIMATE COMFORT EXPERIENCE: A SUV LOUNGE

With New C5 Aircross, Citroën offers the most comfortable electrified mid-sized family SUV on the market. The interior of New C5 Aircross has been designed using the precepts of Citroën's 'C-Zen Lounge' architecture, which aims to offer a feeling of well-being in a lounge atmosphere, for both passengers and the driver.

An interior designed like an Advanced Comfort® Zen lounge

‘Sofa Design’ and enhanced ambient lighting

In New C5 Aircross, occupants are seated as if in a living room, with furniture and fabrics reminiscent of the interior layout, and offering the same cosy comfort.

Citroën's 'Sofa Design' is an airy, long and horizontal dashboard, designed like a piece of living room furniture. The lower part of the dashboard is covered in a high-quality foam fabric that extends to the door panels and seats, creating a homogenous and pleasant atmosphere, just like a real cocoon! A choice of light or dark colours is available.

The warm atmosphere of the passenger compartment is enriched by enhanced ambient lighting, which offers a choice of eight different colours, again a first for Citroën. It elegantly emphasises the horizontality of the dashboard and is also found on the tweeters located at its edge, on the doors and on the lower part of the centre console. Another distinctive element, and a nod to the vehicle's exterior, are the coloured dots on the dashboard and seats, reminiscent in design of the exterior colour clips.

The best of Citroën Advanced Comfort® seats

The new Citroën Advanced Comfort® seats are a key element of onboard well-being, achieving a level of comfort never seen on  C5 Aircross.

The seat and the lower part of the backrest are particularly welcoming, with very thick textured foam elements. The upper part of the backrest wraps around passengers' shoulders like a shawl, then descends along their backs to form side bolsters which, for the first time, are electrically adjustable for optimum support and comfort. As the ultimate expression of comfort, the front seats can also be electrically adjusted up to ten positions, with a heating, ventilation and massage function offering five different programmes.

Rear passengers also benefit from all the qualities of Citroën Advanced Comfort®, including a bench seat and backrests fitted with high-quality foam. The backrests can be reclined between 21° and 33° for an ideal posture, particularly on long journeys. On the highest trim level, the rear seats can be heated.

Better filtration thanks to Citroën Advanced Comfort® suspension

Another key to the exceptional comfort of New C5 Aircross is the Progressive Hydraulic Cushions® in the suspension, which absorb imperfections from the road, giving the car a ‘magic carpet’ ride. They ensure optimum contact between the wheels and the road surface to define a perfect level of comfort for passengers, in turn, offering a pleasurable driving experience. At the front, there are two progressive shock absorbers, one for compression and the other for rebound. This suspension construction ensures greater suppleness and comfort over small road irregularities, without compromising the need to keep the body in place when driving on a bumpy road. In the latter case, the system gradually slows down the movement. Unlike a mechanical stop in a conventional shock absorber, which absorbs energy and reduces comfort by releasing some of it in the form of shock, the progressive hydraulic bump stop absorbs and dissipates this energy.

Driving position: Clarity and easily accessible information

Optimising the ergonomics of the driving position through the ideal integration of the latest technologies was a priority in the design of New C5 Aircross. The aim is simple: to ensure that the driver has all the information in front of them and within easy reach, so that they can drive with complete peace of mind and reduce their mental workload with the help of digital screens that provide clarity and visually pleasing graphics.

A spectacular Cascade touchscreen

New Citroën C5 Aircross features the largest central HD touchscreen ever offered by a Stellantis brand. With its spectacularly light and vertical design, it truly floats in front of the dashboard, then cascades down in a single movement to connect seamlessly with the centre console.

The new Cascade touchscreen on C5 Aircross has both fully customisable and fixed sections for quick and easy access to essential functions at all times.

From top to bottom, the central screen offers:

  • A fixed status bar displaying essential information at all times: time, outside temperature, smartphone charge level, and more.
  • A large customisable area that displays 3D navigation, controls the infotainment system, allows widgets to be programmed for direct access to certain functions and positioned as desired on the screen in a choice of sizes. This area offers several pages, allowing you to multiply the content and display up to 16 widgets per page, easily accessible by scrolling across the screen with the tip of your finger, as you would with a smartphone or tablet.
  • A fixed control bar for quick and easy access to the top screen home page, the telephone, and the vehicle's main settings.
  • Direct access to the driver's and front passenger's climate controls.

In the lounge on wheels, connected to the world

New Citroën C5 Aircross features the latest generation Citroën infotainment. Up to eight drivers can create a personalised profile that memorises their favourite radio stations, their usual destinations, their preferred configuration for the central touchscreen, and much more.

Smartphone integration is totally seamless thanks to a wireless connection that is compatible with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. Two smartphones can be connected simultaneously via Bluetooth. The 15W wireless charger is integrated into the centre console in a slanted position designed for optimum ergonomics. This clever storage space is the ideal place to put your smartphone when you get into the car, and offers a practical angle for monitoring information on it when the vehicle is stationary.

The ‘Hello Citroën’ voice recognition system uses natural language instructions to adjust the interior temperature, launch the navigation system to a stored destination, select a stored radio station, make a phone call, and more.

In addition, New C5 Aircross offers ChatGPT® directly integrated into the infotainment system. With ChatGPT®, Citroën introduces a new generative artificial intelligence tool that makes voice recognition even more fluid and natural and enhances onboard comfort.

Better vision for safer driving

New C5 Aircross models feature a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, which is customisable and ideally positioned. Depending on the level, this is complemented by the extended Head-Up Display, boasting a large-scale colour display projected onto the windscreen. It's an immersive technology that makes driving more serene and relaxed. Drivers no longer need to take their eyes off the road to get the information they want. The large head-up display – 30% larger than that of C5 X – is height-adjustable for perfect visibility and can be customised to display the information the driver prefers.

Optimum night vision is a key factor in driving comfort and safety. New C5 Aircross can be fitted with Citroën Matrix LED headlights. They enable the car to be always driven with full headlights on, as soon as the light level drops, without blinding other road users. Each headlight contains 20 individual LEDs that switch on or off automatically, depending on when other vehicles are detected, adjusting the light beam as finely as possible to offer the driver optimum vision, without the risk of disturbing other road users. The particularly sophisticated Citroën Matrix LED system detects road signs and reduces the intensity of the light they receive, preventing the driver from being blinded by the reflection of the light from its headlights.

The most spacious SUV in the rear, designed for families

True to Citroën's DNA, New C5 Aircross has been designed to make long journeys easier and more comfortable. Thanks to its generous wheelbase of 2.78m, New C5 Aircross offers interior space that sets it apart and marks a clear improvement on its predecessor. This is particularly true of the rear seats, with knee room identical to that of the iconic C5 X and 51mm longer than that of the previous C5 Aircross. Tall passengers will also be very comfortable thanks to the 68mm of additional headroom in row two compared to the previous model. The backrests can be reclined between 21° and 33°, adding to the sensation of travelling in comfort class.

Another new feature of this second-generation C5 Aircross is a central armrest incorporating two cupholders and two smartphone slots. Smartphones can be charged using the two USB-C sockets located at the rear of the centre console, which also features a 12V socket. Front passengers also have two USB-C sockets and a 12V socket on the front of the centre console (a third 12V socket is located in the boot).

All passengers, front and rear, will also appreciate the light provided by the large panoramic glass roof (1,069mm x 720mm). The front of the roof can be opened electrically to help ventilate the cabin, and an electric curtain can be used to conceal the entire roof.

Thanks to the multi-energy capabilities of the STLA-M platform and its efficient design, New C5 Aircross offers one of the best boot volumes in its category, from 565dm3 (651 litres) with the rear seats in place to 1,668dm3 with the bench seat folded down. The fact that there is no loss of boot space in the plug-in hybrid or electric versions sets it ahead of its competitors.

Thanks to the 40/20/40 split and adjustable rear seat backrests, the load volume can be adapted to specific needs. The luggage cover is split into two sections for easy access to the boot. New C5 Aircross can be specified with a motorised tailgate with hands-free opening and closing.

The boot floor, with its 75dm3 of storage space beneath, can be adjusted to two different heights. Additional storage spaces, setting a record in this segment at 40 litres, are arranged throughout the cabin, from the large glovebox at the front, which can hold a 1.5-litre bottle, to the bins on the rear doors and the generous space under the front centre console.

  1. TECHNOLOGY FOR EXTENDED SERENITY

Technologies to simplify life

The latest generation of Citroën driving and parking assistance systems completes the range of technologies on board New C5 Aircross. For example, the Drive Assist 2.0 pack offers exceptional driving comfort and safety by enabling Level 2 autonomous driving.

It includes, in particular:

  • Semi-automatic lane changing. When activated, this function, available from 43mph on fast lanes or motorways, automatically changes lanes after checking that there are no obstacles and asking the driver for confirmation by simply pressing the ‘OK’ button on the steering wheel.
  • Rear Traffic Alert. When reverse gear is engaged, this function warns of approaching obstacles (pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles, lorries, motorbikes) in the vehicle's blind spot zones, thanks to the rear angle radar.
  • The driver surveillance camera. One camera constantly monitors the driver's eyes and another the car's trajectory, particularly if it deviates from its lane. When a risk is detected, a sound and light signal is triggered
  • Extended blind spot detection. The system uses radar with a range of up to 75m instead of ultrasonic sensors with a range of just a few metres.

VisioPark consists of a camera that is activated as soon as the reverse gear is engaged, in addition to the eight obstacle sensors. The system displays a view of the rear of the vehicle on the central screen, with a choice of three modes: normal with guidelines, 180° panoramic, or reconstructed sky view. VisioPark 360° combines four cameras with eight obstacle sensors to give a 360° view of the vehicle's immediate environment.

Engines: Enhanced abilities for greater freedomP

The diverse range of engines on New C5 Aircross illustrates Citroën's multi-energy strategy, which reflects the varied needs of customers. This leaves them free to make their own choices and supports them at their own pace in their transition to electrification.

C5 Aircross Hybrid 145: The gateway to electrification

The Hybrid 48V technology combines great ease of use - no recharging, generous range of more than 559-miles (WLTP combined cycle) - with the ability to significantly reduce COemissions and fuel consumption and, therefore, running costs. In town, New C5 Aircross Hybrid 145 can be driven up to 50% of the time in electric only mode.

This technology combines a new-generation 136hp (100kW) three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbo engine, developed for hybridisation, with a 12hp (9kW - peak 28hp / 21kW) permanent magnet synchronous electric motor powered by a 0.9kWh battery located under the passengers’ seat. The electric motor is directly integrated into the new six-speed ë-DCS6 dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

Management of the two motors is fully automatic and clear for the driver. During low-speed acceleration, the electric motor supports the combustion engine. At steady speeds, the two motors work together to optimise fuel consumption. In town and when manoeuvring, New C5 Aircross Hybrid 145 can operate in electric mode if the battery charge level allows. The battery recharges automatically during deceleration.

Thanks to these qualities, New C5 Aircross Hybrid 145 limits its fuel consumption to around 15% less than a non-hybrid petrol model and, thanks also to its meticulous aerodynamics, 4% less than the previous generation C5 Aircross Hybrid 145.

C5 Aircross Plug-In Hybrid 195: More electric and thermal range

Plug-in hybrid technology takes New C5 Aircross to the next level, making it a benchmark in its category for ease of use. It offers an electric range of 53 miles* - 33% more than the previous C5 Aircross - and more than 62 miles in town. Its large 55-litre fuel tank - an increase of 28% - gives it a total range of 403 miles on the motorway.

The plug-in hybrid technology of New C5 Aircross combines a 150hp (110kW) four-cylinder 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine with a 92kW (125hp) electric motor, powered by a 21kWh battery located under the floor in the centre of the vehicle, for a combined output of 195hp (143kW). The electric motor is integrated into the new seven-speed ë-DCS7 dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The two engines can operate together or separately, depending on driving conditions and the driver's needs. The driver can choose between three driving modes:

  • Hybrid, the default mode that automatically manages the operation of both engines, giving preference to electric power whenever possible to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
  • Electric, for electric operation as long as the battery charge allows, and up to 83mph.
  • Sport, where the electric motor supports the combustion engine for maximum performance, enhanced by specific settings for the accelerator, transmission and steering.

New Citroën C5 Aircross Plug-in Hybrid 195 offers the best of both worlds: range and performance that guarantee total peace of mind on long journeys, and zero-emission mobility in everyday life. With over 62 miles of electric range in town, many users won't need to recharge their battery every day. A fast operation: 2 hours 55 minutes with the standard 7.4kW onboard charger

Citroën ë-C5 Aircross: Up to 422 miles of electric range

The flexibility of the STLA-M platform enables Citroën to offer a range of electric powertrains that meet the diverse needs of customers, covering key criteria such as performance, range, recharging speed and acquisition and running costs.

New ë-C5 Aircross is available with two 100% electric engines:

  • A 210 Standard Range combined with a useable 73kWh battery offering a range of 323 miles*.
  • A 230hp Extended Range combined with a useable 97kWh battery with a range of 422 miles*.

The driver can choose between three driving modes:

  • Normal is the default mode, with power and torque slightly limited when accelerator pressure is between 0 and 70%. Above 70%, full power and torque are available.
  • Eco optimises range by reducing heating and air-conditioning performance, as well as power and torque, which remain fully available when needed with a 'kick-down'.
  • Sport mode always gives 100% power and torque, as well as specific throttle, steering and transmission settings for maximum performance.

A three-stage regenerative braking system optimises the car's kinetic energy to recharge the battery. Using the paddles behind the steering wheel, the driver can select one of three levels of deceleration force (-0.6 m/s2, -1.2 m/s2 or -1.8 m/s2) corresponding to three levels of recharging. The two modes with the highest deceleration rates, and therefore the highest recharge rates, automatically switch on the brake lights.

New Citroën ë-C5 Aircross can be fitted with a heat pump, standard specification on MAX versions, that ensures an ideal temperature in the passenger compartment while consuming significantly less energy than a traditional heating system. For example, when the outside temperature drops below zero, the energy saved by using the heat pump extends the car's range by 15 miles. New ë-C5 Aircross also benefits from heated seats and a heated steering wheel, providing optimum comfort while limiting energy consumption.

The connected navigation system of New C5 Aircross includes the EV trip planner, which programmes the most efficient route to reach the desired destination based on a number of factors, updated in real time: distance, state of charge of the battery on departure (SOC), speed limits, type of road, gradients, traffic, available recharging points, etc. The EV Trip Planner automatically incorporates any recharging required into the route planning, proposing the most powerful recharging points available to optimise journey times.

New Citroën ë-C5 Aircross offers leading charging performance for optimum ease of use. It is fitted as standard with an 11kW three-phase charger, and from 2026, customers will be able to specify an optional 22kW three-phase bi-directional charger for faster charging times of between 20% and 80% with the standard 11 kW on-board charger are particularly competitive.

  • For the 210 Standard Range: 6 hours 45 minutes from a 7.4kW single-phase AC charger, 4 hours 30 minutes from an 11kW three-phase AC charger, and 30 minutes on a 160kW DC rapid charger.
  • For the 230 Extended Range:  8 hours 55 minutes from a 7.4 kW single-phase AC charger, 6 hours 30 minutes from an 11kW three-phase AC charger, and 27 minutes from a 160kW DC rapid charger.

From 2026, New ë-C5 Aircross equipped with the 11kW or 22kW three-phase bi-directional on-board charger will be able to benefit from V2L, or Vehicle-to-Load, technology. This enables the electric vehicle to supply electricity to external devices, transforming the car into a mobile and flexible power source. V2L technology is particularly useful in situations where access to an energy source is limited, such as when travelling or taking part in outdoor activities.

New C5 Aircross optimises  quality with ‘Made in France’ expertise

Designed and engineered in France, New C5 Aircross is assembled at Citroën's historic plant in Rennes (Brittany). In the interests of sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint, the seat covers are made from recycled fabrics. New C5 Aircross contains 160kg of recycled metals and 47kg of recycled or bio-sourced plastics.

Note that the clear plastic in the door and console storage areas incorporate 20% vine shoots sourced from organic vineyards in Burgundy and processed locally. These vine shoots are usually burnt after harvesting. New Citroën C5 Aircross is the first car in the world to incorporate vine shoots into its design. Overall, in New C5 Aircross, 47kg of plastic materials are made from recycled or bio-sourced materials, 160kg of metal parts are recycled and 20% of the tyres. New C5 Aircross does not use leather and the use of chrome is very limited.

Additional examples of French expertise: The 97kWh battery pack for New ë-C5 Aircross Extended Range is produced at the ACC gigafactory in Douvrin (Nord). The battery pack (73kWh or 97kWh) is assembled directly at the Rennes plant. The electric drive module (EDM) is designed and produced in France (Tremery) by the NPE joint venture.  The electric powertrain is a permanent magnet synchronous motor produced by the STL-NIDEC joint venture in Trémery (France). It is offered here in a new generation with greater power and improved efficiency. Finally, the inverter is positioned between the battery and the electric motor and is manufactured and produced by Stellantis in Valenciennes (France).
