Visually larger and imposing, C5 Aircross introduces a new design language in which curves give way to more structured lines. The styling of the front end has had a facelift to become more vertical and modern, reinforcing the character of a safe and imposing vehicle. The taut lines and vertical stepped construction contribute to visual widening the front end of C5 Aircross. Appearing wider and more imposing on the road, it presents a highly confident attitude.
New C5 Aircross is adorned with a new interpretation of the Brand logo, which gradually gains its independence and detaches itself from the daytime running lights, thereby marking a move on from other models in the range, in which the chevrons extended to the daytime running lights via a chrome strip. The chevrons now appear in black lacquer set off in chrome. They extend visually via a set of increasingly tight chrome and black piano keys that gradually blend into LED daytime running lights. Very subtle, refined and detailed work has been done in this section to enhance the overall impression. This gives the logo more breathing space in the centre of the grille.
The logo and V-shaped light signature are underlined at the bottom of the grille by a high-quality black lacquered strip carefully designed down to the graphical details: the chevron pattern that starts under the logo moves vertically up to become parallel to the piano keys of the daytime running lights signature.
C5 Aircross gets a new 10” touchscreen that appears to float on the dashboard and immerses driver and passengers in a more modern passenger compartment. This new, larger screen improves ergonomics by offering direct-access climate controls and a higher reading that allows you to keep your eyes on the road. The vents are now located below the screen and have been modernised with a new sharp, horizontal design. The new 10” touchscreen will be fitted to the petrol and diesel versions with navigation, and from the Feel version for hybrids.
The offer of a plug-in hybrid engine for mid-range versions further enhances on-board well-being, thanks to the benefits of electric driving for daily journeys up to 55 km and unlimited driving range for long journeys using the petrol engine. The plug-in-hybrid motorisation allows a driving in silence and absence of vibrations in electric mode up to 135 km/h, offers an instant availability of 320 Nm of torque, ensuring permanent user comfort by guaranteeing dynamic pick-up at all times. With zero CO2 emissions it gives the freedom to access urban areas where petrol and diesel vehicles are banned. Users of the C5 Aircross Plug-In Hybrid also benefit from a range of services to facilitate charging: with management either directly in the vehicle or from their smartphone, as well as the possibility of programming charging times. Charging is fast, with a full charge completed in less than two hours on a Wall-box.
