Overview of the New Citroen C5 Aircross

The Citroen C5 Aircross's defining feature in the UK family SUV market is comfort. Every grade of the new C5 Aircross is built around Citroen's own Advanced Comfort Suspension, which uses patented Progressive Hydraulic Cushions to absorb both small bumps and larger road imperfections. Advanced Comfort Seats are standard across the range too. For a buyer whose shortlist includes several mid-size SUVs, this is a deliberate pitch toward comfort rather than driving dynamics.

Three powertrains are offered across the lineup. The C5 Aircross Hybrid 145hp pairs a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with a 48V hybrid system and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Plug-in Hybrid 225hp uses a larger 1.6-litre petrol engine, a 21 kWh traction battery, and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for up to 50 miles of electric-only range. The all-electric e-C5 Aircross 210hp Comfort Range uses a 73.7 kWh (net) battery for a WLTP combined range of up to 322 miles.

Three equipment lines span the range: YOU! as the entry grade, PLUS as the mid-tier, and MAX at the top. Every new Citroen C5 Aircross comes with the full suite of Citroen's connected services, including a 10-year Connect One subscription with Over-the-Air updates, Emergency Call, and remote maintenance. The standard three-year warranty can be extended under the Citroen, We Care programme up to 8 years or 100,000 miles when the car is serviced at an authorised Citroen partner. That puts the C5 Aircross's effective warranty length in the same bracket as the longest in the UK market.

Interior of the New Citroen C5 Aircross

Inside the C5 Aircross, the headline design element is the Waterfall screen: a 13-inch vertical touchscreen that appears to float ahead of the dashboard and then cascade down to meet the centre console. It is paired with a 10-inch digital instrument cluster with customisable zones and colour schemes, giving every grade a modern dual-display layout as standard. The Waterfall screen runs 3D Navigation, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB radio, and natural voice recognition through a six-speaker audio system.

Interior materials vary with trim. YOU! grade uses the Urban Grey ambience with Advanced Comfort Seats in black and grey fabric, with dashboard and door panels covered in grey sofa fabric. PLUS steps up to the Metropolitan Blue fabric and leather-effect with driver's lumbar adjustment and a reclining rear bench backrest. MAX moves to the Hype Blue premium leather-effect and fabric, with heated front seats and electric driver's seat adjustment as standard. A fifth optional Hype Grey with perforated premium leather-effect, massaging ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats is available on MAX.

Practical cabin features earn their place too. The boot measures 651 litres with the rear seats up and 1,985 litres with them folded, which is at the generous end for a car of this size. A two-position boot floor is standard, as is the 40-20-40 split folding rear bench. The chilled central storage box in the front armrest is a quiet luxury-class touch. For buyers specifying MAX, the hands-free motorised tailgate (operated by a kick movement under the rear bumper) and the Clean Cabin with Air Quality System round out the full-feature cabin.

Exterior of the New Citroen C5 Aircross

At 4,652 mm long, 1,936 mm wide, and 1,688 mm tall, the new Citroen C5 Aircross sits firmly in the mid-size SUV class. A 2,784 mm wheelbase creates most of the interior space advantage. The front end leads with the Citroen double-chevron brand mark and automatic LED headlights, while the rear carries Citroen Light Wings rear LED lights across every grade. MAX moves up to full Citroen Matrix LED headlights with Adaptive High Beam Assist.

Four alloy wheel designs are offered across the range. YOU! Hybrid gets 18-inch CARBON alloys, while YOU! Electric steps up to 19-inch MOONDUST diamond-cut alloys. PLUS Hybrid moves to 19-inch ZIRCON alloys, with PLUS Electric keeping the MOONDUST design. MAX Electric and Plug-in Hybrid variants come with 20-inch OBSIDIAN alloys as standard, which also sharpen the car's stance alongside the gold Colour Clips on the front bumper and front doors.

A set of distinctive colour clips sits at the front corners and along the doors to break up the flat colour expanses: Pure Black on YOU! and PLUS, Gold on MAX. Six exterior colours are offered: Ruby Red Metallic as standard, with Okenite White, Platinum Grey, Eclipse Blue, Perla Nera Black, and Astoria Green available as premium metallic options. A two-tone Perla Nera Black roof is available on PLUS and MAX (not combinable with the Perla Nera Black body colour).

Citroen C5 Aircross Trims and Specifications

The three grades (YOU!, PLUS, MAX) are structured so each adds equipment that pulls its weight rather than cosmetic upgrades. YOU! is well-equipped on its own. The grade bundles the 13-inch Waterfall touchscreen, 10-inch digital instrument cluster, automatic LED headlights with High Beam Assist, Advanced Comfort Suspension, automatic bi-zone air conditioning, Keyless Start, and the full standard Safety Pack. The 10-year Connect One subscription with Over-the-Air updates is included on every grade.

PLUS adds the equipment most family buyers put at the top of their options list. The step-up brings a 180-degree Rear Camera, front parking sensors, Proximity Keyless Entry and Start, and electrically folding mirrors with welcome lighting. Inside, PLUS adds 8-colour Extended ambient lighting, a reclining rear bench backrest with central armrest, and the Metropolitan Blue interior ambience. MAX sits at the top of the lineup. Standard equipment includes Citroen Matrix LED headlights, Drive Assist Pack 2.0, VisioPark 360, hands-free motorised tailgate, and the Extended Head Up Display. The MAX cabin adds heated front seats, heated steering wheel, Clean Cabin with Air Quality System, and (on Electric versions) a Heat Pump as standard. The table below shows the main equipment differences at a glance.

Citroen C5 Aircross Engines and Performance

Three powertrains are offered across the C5 Aircross lineup, each one sitting in a different place for the family-SUV buyer. The C5 Aircross Hybrid 145 pairs a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine (producing 136hp) with a 28hp electric motor and a 48V hybrid system, routed through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Combined output is 145hp. For a buyer whose weekly driving sits in and around town, the Hybrid can run on electric propulsion up to around 50 per cent of the time in urban driving.

The C5 Aircross Plug-in Hybrid 225 uses a larger 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (150hp) paired with a 125hp electric motor and a 21 kWh traction battery, through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Combined output is 225hp. WLTP electric range is up to 50 miles combined (67 miles city), which covers most daily commutes on battery alone. The 7.4 kW onboard charger can fill 20 to 80 per cent in around two hours 55 minutes from a 7.4 kW wallbox.

The all-electric e-C5 Aircross 210 Comfort Range uses a 73.7 kWh (net) lithium-ion NMC battery for a WLTP combined range of up to 322 miles, or 414 miles on the city cycle. DC rapid charging is standard, with 20 to 80 per cent possible in 30 minutes at a 160 kW charging point. The e-C5 Aircross is bi-directional and vehicle-to-load capable (an accessory adapter is required). Every Electric variant qualifies for the UK Electric Car Grant at the time of writing. The table below sets out the main performance and capacity figures.
