Citroen C5 Aircross Exterior

This SUV manifests its sturdy character with its front styling that shows off a high and horizontal bonnet, sharper lines on the main air intakes, polished aluminium finishing, high ground clearance, and LED headlights which are designed to look like a part of the extended front grille. The rear view of the Citroen C5 flaunts LED high-mounted stop lamp, chrome dual exhaust pipes, and signature ‘V’ LED tail lights which are designed as if they are three piano keys arranged to create a horizontal ‘V’. The side view of the vehicle exhibits a scoop-like design that increases the aerodynamics of the car as well as gives it a broadened appearance. It has a chromed ‘C’ shaped three-side window surround that spotlights the floating view of the roof; the roof has functional roof rails too.

Citroen C5 Aircross Interior

The spacious and plush cabin of the car incorporates a high driving position, black ‘Claudia’ leather and fabric seat upholstery with broad cushions, an adjustable multifunction steering wheel with two control zones, stainless steel sill scuff plate with ‘Citroen’ embossing, and alloy pedals for accelerator and brake. The Citroen C5 Aircross interior also boasts double laminated front windows and acoustic windshield glass to ensure that minimal road noise enters the cabin. Along with the specification of saving from noise pollution, it has an air quality system as well that purifies the in-cabin-air to safeguard the car occupants from air pollution. Additionally, it has a panoramic glass sunroof, three individual reclining rear seats, satin chrome inner door handles, and 580 litre boot space.

The dashboard comes equipped with intuitive technology with customizable digital displays like a 10-inch HD capacitive touch screen and a 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster with three personalization modes and three (brown, blue, and red) ambiance options. The gloss black infotainment system offers controls for a dual-zone temperature system, reverse camera input, and park assist. It has a unique coffee break alert feature as well.

Citroen C5 Aircross Safety Features

The Citroen C5 Aircross comes equipped with dual front airbags with the passenger airbag deactivation function, front-seat side airbags, and curtain airbags to ensure the all-around safety of the occupants in case of a collision. Additionally, it is loaded with an electronic stability program, hill descent control, hill start assist, and traction control system to ensure that car remains in control in curves and stable in hilly and patchy terrains.

This SUV also encompasses a blind spot monitoring system, electric parking brake, reversing camera, electric child lock, auto door unlock on a crash, and front and rear parking sensors, to aid in the safety of the people in the car. Here, one more thing to mention is that the C5 Aircross had earlier received a four-star ANCAP rating in Australia and New Zealand which might give you a bit of cushion to consider it a safe car, however, this rating cannot be considered a safety guarantee for a model, to be sold in India, unless one of them gets rated.

Citroen C5 Aircross Price and Variants

This SUV, from the French manufacturer, is sold in a single variant and seven color options. The single variant named ‘Shine Dual Tone’ is available in Pearl White, Cumulus Grey, Eclipse Blue, Pearl Nera Black, Pearl White with black Roof, Cumulus Grey with Black Roof, and Eclipse Blue with Black Roof.

The Citroen C5 Aircross price is slightly higher than its competitors Jeep Compass and Hyundai Tucson. This SUV comes with a warranty of three years or 100000 km whichever is earlier.
