C5 Aircross boasts a truly unique identity that comes courtesy of the smooth and rounded body lines, as well as the subtle exterior features. Complementing the smart appearance are 30 exterior styling combinations and three interior ambiances; you certainly won't struggle personalising the car to match your desires.
Inside you will find Citroën's Advanced Comfort Seats, which benefit from high density foam and acres of adjustability. C5 Aircross is the most modular car in its segment, because the rear seats can individually slide, fold and adjust for incline.
At minimum, you have 580 litres of boot space at your disposal. This can be extended to 720 litres if you play around with the rear seats. Fold those rear seats completely flat and you get 1,630 litres to play with.
Each C5 Aircross comes with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions®. We won't bore you with the science, but it's a suspension system that soaks up big impacts and imperfections from the road's surface. As a result, you benefit from an ultra-smooth driving experience.

Where to next?
As many of you have already noticed, the mid-size sedan market has been eaten up by crossovers and SUVs of all types and sizes, not to mention that traditional French sedans have always had a tough time competing against their German counterparts.
Even Ford has decided to kill the future of the Mondeo sedan and replace it with a crossover-looking hatchback tentatively wearing the Mondeo Evos nameplate.
Following a similar path, it looks like the next generation of the Citroën C5 will have almost nothing in common with any of its predecessors, as spy photographers have caught the first pre-production prototype of the model while being road-tested in Europe.
The model is highly camouflaged, but the overall proportions are definitely those of an elongated C4, which has also switched from being a traditional-looking compact hatchback to having a crossover/SUV look.
Despite the rather high ground clearance, the 2023 Citroën C5 is not expected to feature all-wheel-drive on most of its versions, and the Citroën-famous pneumatic suspension might not make an appearance either.
A host of 1.2-, and 1.6-liter gasoline engines with various outputs and even a plug-in hybrid version should comprise the gasoline lineup, while diesel lovers will have to suffice with a choice between a 1.5-liter and a 2.0-liter.
An all-electric e-C5 is also expected to be in the works, but don’t expect a Tesla-level of performance or range, with Citroën being more focused on comfort and a quirky design.
With Citroën now part of Stellantis, which includes FCA, the arrival of the new C5 might also signal the re-launch of the Citroën brand in the United States, but this is all speculation at this point.
