Citroën C5 Aircross cheaper and always electrified

September 20, 2024

Focus on electric and hybrid

Starting in October, only electrified versions of the C5 Aircross will roll off the assembly line.
That means you always choose a hybrid or plug-in hybrid engine.
The mild-hybrid Hybrid 136 ë-DCS6 engine will take the place as the entry-level version of the 130 PureTech gasoline engine that has to make way.
The Plug-in Hybrid 180 ë-EAT8 and Plug-in Hybrid 225 ë-EAT8 offer more power and can travel about 65 kilometers electrically.

Two versions: Plus and Max

The Citroën C5 Aircross now comes only in the Plus and Max versions.
These trims are well-stocked with technology and comfort.
The PLUS variant is already equipped with extras like Citroën’s famous Advanced Comfort Seats, a 10-inch touchscreen with navigation and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as a rearview camera offering 180° visibility.
Plus, you have standard heated front seats and an air quality monitoring system.

The Max trim has all the bells and whistles on board: electrically adjustable seats upholstered in a combination of fabric and alcantara and driving assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control and blind spot assist.
The design is a bit tougher with black roof rails and 18-inch Pulsar rims.

Prices and availability

The starting price for the C5 Aircross Hybrid is a few dozen euros lower than before: 39,070 euros.
The Plug-in Hybrid 180 comes from 40,390 euros, while previously you spent over 44 grand for the PHEV.
The updated C5 Aircross can be ordered immediately.
