In its more than 100-year automotive history, the Citro\u00ebn brand has been known for many things\u2014its innovations, its boldness\u2014but above all for one thing: comfort. Several of the brand’s iconic models were on display at the \u201cFrench Car Meeting 2025\u201d at Motorworld Kempthal. A few months later, at the same venue, we had the opportunity to take a closer look at the latest model bearing the double chevron logo: the Citro\u00ebn \u00eb-C5 Aircross. <\/p>\n
This electric SUV can be seen as a confident return to Citro\u00ebn’s fundamentals. The chassis clearly prioritizes comfort: it absorbs bumps, smooths out imperfections, and swallows potholes with confidence. The quiet handling and excellent sound insulation promote a relaxed driving experience. The numerous driver assistance systems intervene readily, without ever becoming intrusive. Pleasant on the highway and agile in the city, the \u00eb-C5 Aircross even seems more compact than it really is thanks to its good visibility. <\/p>\n
Measuring over 4.65 m long, it boasts a modern design with clean lines. The bold front end gives it presence, while its overall look remains dynamic. As is often the case with Citro\u00ebn, style sometimes takes precedence over functionality: the distinctive \u201cLight Blades\u201d rear lights are sure to turn heads. Inside, certain elements such as the large side speakers follow the same logic. Otherwise, the atmosphere is lounge-like: comfortable seats with optional massage function, high-quality materials, and meticulous assembly. The gap with some of the group’s premium brands seems to have narrowed significantly. Where the \u00eb-C5 Aircross really impresses is with its interior space. In the back, even tall adults enjoy excellent freedom of movement\u2014thanks to a wheelbase that is six centimeters longer than the previous generation. The electric version we tested is neither abrupt nor sluggish. According to the WLTP standard, it has a range of over 520 km; during our test, after 450 km, the battery still had a comfortable reserve. For those who don’t want to switch to all-electric right away, Citro\u00ebn also offers a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. It’s up to each individual to choose the powertrain that suits them best. In short: the \u00eb-C5 Aircross delivers exactly what you would expect from a modern electric family vehicle\u2014impressive range, exceptional comfort, and bold design. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
