The new Citroen C5 Aircross is off to a great start. The compact SUV has been upgraded in terms of design, comfort, and technology is now available for order. Prices begin at 31,700 euros for Citroen C5 Aircross PureTech 130 with a six-speed manual transmission (96 kW/131 hp).
The Citroen C5 Aircross looks bigger and more contemporary, introducing a new design language in which curves give way to more rigid lines. In addition, the new C5 Aircross is coated in black lacquer with a chrome surround and has a fresh rendition of the brand's logo.
The V-shaped LED signature of the daytime running lights in the style of piano keys is distinctive of the new Citroen design language, giving the headlights a contemporary 3D look and visually lengthening the black radiator grille. At the bottom border of the grille, a black painted bar emphasizes the logo and the V-shaped light signature: the double chevron pattern begins below the logo and extends parallel to the piano keys of the daytime running light signature over the whole width of the front. Below the grille, the two vertical side air intakes, which are now open and functioning, contribute to the grille's aerodynamic performance.
As with the front of the car, the 2022 Citroen C5 Aircross compact SUV features a new three-dimensional LED light signature in the rear, along with reworked tail lamps. In addition, the housing's design has been altered to increase aerodynamics. Without changing the size of the light unit, dark and textured glass has been added to accentuate the three LED light modules.
Along with the outward redesign, the Citroen C5 Aircross's inside has been updated to a more modern style, with noticeable improvements in comfort and technology.

With a core of high-density foam, a 15mm thick foam layer, and a unique structure, the seats provide the ultimate in visual comfort, seated comfort, and driving comfort. To further enhance driver and front passenger comfort, the front seats have a massaging function in addition to seat heating. Additionally, colors and materials have been updated; beginning with the "Shine" trim level, a new soft-touch Alcantara and a high-quality perforated leather alternative is available. Armrests and center console have been reupholstered in a new black leather effect fabric, while the dashboard has been reupholstered in a unique textured black leather effect insert.
