The Citroën C5 AirCross was a turning point for the house of the double chevron. It saw the light of day as its family of Picasso minivans lost its pulse against the increasingly ubiquitous SUVs. But, in addition, it also coincided with the extreme languor of the C5 sedan that sold so well years ago. All of his rivals welcomed him with suspicion because there were already some very consolidated ones and he was just a "young" rookie...
Be that as it may, the C5 AirCross has earned itself to be a sales success. In fact, Citroën has changed a lot since it was launched and now its range, without being premium, is more "consistent". But the current iteration of the AirCross SUV is ending its life cycle and the French house's engineers are already working on the new C5 AirCross. Not much information was known about him, but thanks to various sources we already know more or less what awaits us in the year 2025.
The second generation of the Citroën C5 AirCross should hit the market in 2025…
As you have already read, the second generation of the Citroën C5 AirCross should hit the market in 2025. Apparently, this project is known internally in the French house with the code CR3 and it would already be well advanced. But the number of details that have transpired does not touch the aesthetic, although they do touch the technical. Therefore, to know the lines of Citroën's medium SUV, we will still have to wait a bit. Of course, it will follow the path already marked out with its latest models.
In addition, we cannot forget that it should display the renewed logo of the French firm. We already told you about it when the house officially presented it when renewing its corporate image. Nor, always according to these sources, will he forget to wear double optics with Full LED technology that are even more torn than the current ones. As for dimensions and exterior size, it should be the same as the current one, although its cousin, the new Peugeot 3008, will give us clues about the change...
It will be based on the STLA Medium platform and, as a novelty, it will have heat engines with different levels of hybridization...
However, the main novelties of the next C5 AirCross that have seen the light refer to his technique. It is known that it will be based on the modern STLA Medium platform that Stellantis has created taking as the EMP2 of PSA. Thanks to it, it will have a one hundred percent electric version that, as a novelty, will not be the only one in its range. Apparently, pay attention, there will be ICE heat engines with different levels of hybridization...
According to several sources, among which is L'argus there will be two gasoline versions. A 48 V 1.2 PureTech Mild Hybrid and a 1.6 PureTech Plug-In Hybrid version may or may not have similar powers to the current ones. This deployment in its range could be at the first start of its life since by 2030 all Stellantis brands will be one hundred percent electric in Europe. However, it is ruled out that a diesel version sees the light...
As a "bonus track," we tell you that the new C5 AirCross will continue to be manufactured in the center of Rennes-La Janais (France). But the novelty is that the Peugeot 5008 will no longer come from this factory since its manufacture will be transferred to the factory that the House of the Lion has in Sochaux. Be that as it may, one and the other go hand in hand as they are expected to hit the market for the next year 2025, although not in what order they will do so. Therefore, we will be patient.
