This second-generation model, built on Stellantis&#8217;s new STLA Medium architecture, promises to deliver a fresh take on family-friendly vehicles. Let\u2019s dive into what makes this crossover stand out and why it might just be the right fit for your next car.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s New in the C5 Aircross?<\/p>\n<p>First off, the new C5 Aircross has grown in size. It\u2019s now 150mm longer than its predecessor, with a wheelbase that\u2019s increased by 600mm. This means more legroom for passengers, particularly in the back, where you\u2019ll find an impressive 51mm increase in knee room and 68mm more headroom. Citro\u00ebn describes the interior as a \u2018C-Zen Lounge,\u2019 designed to feel like a cozy living room. Imagine sinking into plush seats that wrap around you like a shawl\u2014sounds inviting, right?<\/p>\n<p>The dashboard is another highlight, featuring a large \u2018floating\u2019 touchscreen that replaces many physical controls. It\u2019s designed for ease of use while driving, with fixed status bars and programmable widgets. Plus, the voice control function, powered by AI, allows you to manage in-car functions hands-free. This tech-savvy approach makes the driving experience smoother and more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>How Does Comfort Stack Up?<\/p>\n<p>Citro\u00ebn has taken comfort to the next level with the upgraded \u2018Advanced Comfort\u2019 seats. These seats are not just about looks; they provide a level of support that\u2019s hard to beat in this segment. The thick lower padding and adjustable side bolsters ensure that every journey feels like a treat, whether you\u2019re commuting or embarking on a long road trip.<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget the back seat. With the ability to recline between 21 and 33 degrees, rear passengers can customize their seating position for maximum comfort. Plus, they\u2019ll appreciate the added convenience of USB-C charging ports and cupholders right at their fingertips.<\/p>\n<p>What About Storage Space?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re someone who values cargo space, the C5 Aircross won\u2019t disappoint. With 651 liters of boot space behind the rear seats, it outshines competitors like the Nissan Qashqai. Fold the seats down, and you\u2019ll have a whopping 1668 liters to work with. There\u2019s even a hidden compartment beneath the boot floor for storing the EV charging cable, keeping your space tidy and organized.<\/p>\n<p>What Are the Powertrain Options?<\/p>\n<p>For those looking to go green, the C5 Aircross offers two hybrid options: a mild hybrid and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The mild hybrid combines a 1.2-liter petrol engine with a small electric motor, while the PHEV features a 1.6-liter petrol engine paired with a more robust electric motor for a combined output of 193bhp. The PHEV boasts an electric range of 53 miles, making it a practical choice for daily commutes.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re leaning towards full electric, the C5 Aircross comes with two battery options. You can choose between a 73kWh battery that provides a range of 323 miles or a 97kWh pack that extends that range to 422 miles. With power outputs of 207bhp or 227bhp, you can expect a dynamic driving experience.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the Price Point?<\/p>\n<p>While official pricing hasn\u2019t been announced yet, it\u2019s expected that the new C5 Aircross will be competitively priced, starting below \u00a335,000 for the hybrid models and around \u00a340,000 for the electric version. This positions it as an attractive option in the crowded crossover market.<\/p>\n<p>Final Thoughts<\/p>\n<p>The new Citro\u00ebn C5 Aircross is more than just a pretty face; it\u2019s a thoughtfully designed vehicle that prioritizes comfort, technology, and practicality. With its spacious interior, advanced features, and eco-friendly options, it\u2019s poised to make a significant impact in the crossover segment. Whether you\u2019re a family on the go or someone who values comfort and tech, the C5 Aircross is worth considering. <\/p>\n<p>The big takeaway?

So too can the ambient lighting be configured in eight colours.<\/p>\n<p>At the centre of this new dashboard is an expansive &#8216;floating&#8217; touchscreen that Citro\u00ebn says is the largest yet fitted to a Stellantis car. It largely replaces physical controls\u00a0but has been designed for ease of access on the move, with fixed status and control bars, programmable widgets and direct access to the climate control.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-body-image\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/discover-the-all-new-citroen-c5-aircross-a-spacious-stylish-and-electric-family-crossover-1.jpg\" width=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Smartphone mirroring and a 10in digital display are equipped as standard, and drivers can use the &#8216;Hello Citro\u00ebn&#8217; voice control function to control various in-car functions &#8211; with AI support from ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p>A head-up display \u2013 30% larger than that of its predecessor \u2013 is available as an option.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the &#8216;Advanced Comfort&#8217; seats have been upgraded to give &#8220;a level of comfort never seen&#8221; in\u00a0the C5 Aircross, with thick lower padding on the backrest and bolster and an upper portion that &#8220;wraps around passengers&#8217; shoulders like a shawl&#8221;.

The former pairs a 1.2-litre three-cylinder\u00a0<span>petrol<\/span> engine with a small electric motor in a dual-clutch gearbox, powered by a 0.9kWh battery under the driver&#8217;s seat. The PHEV uses a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine in tandem with a 123bhp electric motor for a combined 193bhp and a 21kWh battery that&#8217;s good for an EV range of 53 miles.<\/p>\n<p>The electric C5 Aircross can be had with either a 73kWh battery giving 323 miles of range\u00a0or a 97kWh pack giving 422 miles\u00a0and a 207bhp or 227bhp motor\u00a0on the front axle.<\/p>\n<p>Prices for the new C5 Aircross haven&#8217;t yet been announced, but it will be cheaper than the 3008, so expect a sub-\u00a335k starting price for the hybrid and to pay around \u00a340k for the EV.<\/p>\n<p>Deliveries will begin in the second half of this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62496,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-featured","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
