C5 Aircross to be new flagship

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.
