C5 Aircross to be new flagship
Autocar UK
|August 21, 2024
Next-generation version will top the Citroën range but the C5 X will not be replaced
Citroën is gearing up to launch a new version of the C5 Aircross next year that will effectively become its flagship model and gain electric power for the first time.
The French firm has committed to focusing on main-segment models in the future (Autocar, 29 May). As a result, it will not replace the slow-selling C5 X, but that saloon's more popular SUV sibling will survive into a new generation.
The C5 Aircross was launched in the UK in 2018 and is currently offered with petrol and hybrid powertrains. For its second generation, it will switch to the multi powertrain STLA Medium platform shared with the Peugeot e-3008 and the Vauxhall Grandland.

HOW PORSCHE IS PURSUING A QUIETER LIFE FOR OWNERS
NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) are three of the most important words in the engineering of new cars. They describe exactly that: noise and vibration generated from hundreds of sources, from the texture and undulation of the road surface to the entire drivetrain, tyres, brakes and structure of the car itself.

Max Verstappen was the standout Formula 1 driver of 2025 for me. That's not to denigrate new world champion Lando Norris in any way. In fact, I would argue the opposite is the case. That Norris prevailed in the tense Abu Dhabi finale does him huge credit because, as he will know only too well while reflecting on his hallowed new status, he did so in the face of an astonishing fightback from one of the true greats of motor racing.
