New Citroen C5 Aircross Plug-In Hybrid is now open for orders, with prices starting from £38,855 OTR MRRP.
The plug-in hybrid powertrain joins the hybrid and electric powertrains already available for customer orders. New C5 Aircross represents Citroën’s boldest step yet in the mid-sized SUV segment, offering outstanding comfort, on-board space, and value for money.
Welcoming a new and bold chapter in Citroën design, New C5 Aircross range features a more assertive and aerodynamic look that enhances performance and road presence. At the front, Citroën’s striking new three-point LED light signature is set within a strong horizontal structure that widens the stance, while a redesigned grille and streamlined bumper elements optimise airflow and visual impact.
New C5 Aircross delivers exceptional practicality without compromising on style. A generous 2.78m wheelbase contributes to a spacious interior feel, particularly in the second row, where passengers enjoy improved leg and headroom. The boot capacity is among the best in its class, from 651 litres (565 dm3 VDA) with the seats up to 1,985 litres (1,668 dm3 VDA) with the rear bench folded, offering the flexibility of a true family SUV. Thoughtful design touches like a wide-opening boot, split-folding rear seats, and a flat load area make loading and everyday practicality effortlessly simple.
New C5 Aircross Plug-In Hybrid features rechargeable hybrid technology, combining two energy sources: a 150hp turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and a 125hp electric motor that powers the front wheels. Depending on driving conditions and selected modes, the engine and motor operate independently or together. In Electric mode, the vehicle runs exclusively on electric power, making it ideal for city driving and low-emission zones. In Hybrid mode, the system intelligently switches between electric and petrol power or uses both based on performance needs. When operating together, the petrol engine and electric motor generate a peak power output of 195hp.
The plug-in hybrid system features a 21kWh battery – nearly double that of the previous generation – enabling the car to drive solely on electric propulsion for up to 53 miles (WLTP EAER Combined). Equipped with a 7.4kW single-phase onboard charger, the battery can be fully recharged in just 2 hours and 55 minutes using a 7.4kW AC charger.
The plug-in hybrid powertrain is being launched exclusively on the MAX trim. As standard, the MAX trim comes equipped with a 360-degree camera, an extended head-up display, heated front seats and steering wheel, hands-free electric tailgate, and Drive Assist Pack 2.0 with semi-autonomous features.
New C5 Aircross Plug-In Hybrid has been crafted with the very best of Citroën’s Advanced Comfort programme, equipped with progressive hydraulic cushions in the suspension, filtering out imperfections in the road surface to deliver a remarkably smooth ride.
Inside, Citroën Advanced Comfort seats combine plush, high-density foam with wider cushions and integrated heating, with optional ventilation and massage functions. The calming atmosphere is enhanced by soft-touch materials, high-quality trim and an interior layout inspired by home furniture design, with wide, padded surfaces and sofa-like contours.
At the heart of the cabin is a new 13-inch ‘waterfall’ HD touchscreen, uniquely mounted in a vertical cascade that flows from the dashboard into the centre console. This floating display has both fully customisable and fixed sections for quick and easy access to essential functions at all times. The cascade screen offers a large customisable area that displays 3D navigation, infotainment controls, and allows widgets to be programmed for direct access and positioned as desired over several pages. Below this, a fixed control bar for direct access to the top screen home page, the telephone, the vehicle’s main settings, and direct access to the driver’s and front passenger’s climate controls. It’s paired with a 10-inch fully digital driver display that’s uncluttered but also customisable, putting essential information directly in the driver’s line of sight, along with an extended head up display projecting key information onto the windscreen.
Along with the plug-in hybrid powertrain, New C5 Aircross is available with an electric and hybrid powertrain, offering greater choice for customers. New C5 Aircross Hybrid and ë-C5 Aircross are already open for orders, with prices starting from £30,495 OTR MRRP for the hybrid and £32,565 for the electric, including the Electric Car Grant.
