New Citroën C5 Aircross officially launches in the ÚK today (Tuesday 30 August). With a fresh new look, updated trim levels and additional features, New C5 Aircross is available with a Plug-in Hybrid powertrain that delivers up to 38 miles of electric-only range (EAER WLTP Combined) on a single charge. Recommended 'On The Road' prices for New C5 Aircross start from £26,930, or at £35,835 for the Plug-in Hybrid versions.

New C5 Aircross has been updated with a new front-end design, featuring an alternative interpretation of the Citroën brand's V-shaped LED light signature. The upright front grille adds to the robust stance of the vehicle. The rear is enhanced too, with a more angular design to the light clusters – to match the new styling at the front of the vehicle.

To ensure New C5 Aircross remains the benchmark for comfort in the C-SÚV segment, the model comes – as standard – with Citroën Advanced Comfort® Suspension, latest-generation Citroën Advanced Comfort® Seats and an interior layout with unparalleled cabin space. The Advanced Comfort® suspension system – which remains exclusive to Citroën – uses Progressive Hydraulic Cushions® to absorb bumps in the road and to keep passengers comfortable.

The newly designed Citroën Advanced Comfort® Seats feature a core of high-density foam and an additional 15mm top layer of memory foam to ensure maximum comfort and support for the driver and passengers alike. On selected versions, the Advanced Comfort® Seats come with a six-way electric adjustment to help you find the ideal seating position. A range of new interior ambiences feature premium materials that make New C5 Aircross a comfortable and relaxing place to be, so all occupants feel at home wherever their journey takes them.

New Citroën C5 Aircross also comes with a 12.3-inch digital driver's display and a new 10-inch high-definition touchscreen that is positioned higher up on the dashboard to ensure the driver keeps their eyes on the road.

New C5 Aircross is available in three trim levels, 'Sense Plus', 'Shine' and 'C-Series Edition'. PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel 130hp internal combustion engines are available across the range, paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed EAT8 automatic gearbox. 'Shine' and 'C-Series Edition' models are also available with a Plug-in Hybrid drivetrain that combines a 180hp petrol engine, an 80kW electric motor and an eight-speed electrified auto gearbox – delivering 225hp and up to 38 miles of electric-only range (EAER WLTP Combined). With emissions as low as 32g/km CO2, New C5 Aircross Plug-in Hybrid versions qualify a Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax rate of just 12% – making them ideal for fleets, businesses and user choosers.

SENSE PLÚS
'Sense Plus' models come with 18-inch diamond cut bi-tone 'Pulsar' alloy wheels, Class A-rated tyres and electrically-operated and heated door mirrors, complete with LED approach lighting.
