2025 Citroën C5 Aircross
The design of its predecessor has simply been reversed. While the front end previously looked relatively jagged and the rear was relatively calmly styled, the third-generation C5 Aircross is
now the exact opposite.
All that remains of the second crossbar are the interchangeable clips, which can be used to add a colorful accent, even retroactively. A new addition is an optional matrix light with a still
cautious number of 20 mirrors.
The rear lights are now going crazy. They insist on protruding from the body and also enhance the already exciting side view. What's pleasing, however, compared to the predecessor, is the
black-backed connecting strip.
In contrast, the lower edge of the tailgate has moved slightly upwards. Overall, there's something special about these almost over-designed D-pillars. There's simply no such thing as a normal Citroën.
Sitting inside, a surprising sense of calm sets in, almost making you regret your previous sentence. A floating center console has become almost standard, and hard plastic is almost nonexistent in the interior trim.
The seats are said to be even more comfortable now. This fits in with the chassis, whose hydraulic damper ends are perhaps less noticeable, but which has presumably also been tuned a bit more in this direction.
Was everything well done? Almost, even if the charging power doesn't quite match the significantly increased battery capacities compared to the past. A little more would have been good for the increased electrical
demands of a plug-in hybrid.
For potential German buyers, the price comparison with the Opel Grandland may be even more interesting than with its sister models, the Peugeot 3008/5008, depending on the desired extras.
