Its no surprise, Mercedes Benz snapped up Alexandre Malval, the designer under who’s penmanship, the C5 Aircross took shape. Alexandre is gifted and brought a certain elegance, style and luxury to various Citroen models during his stint there as their Design Director. And that’s the first bit that strikes you as you look at the C5 Aircross, its got lovely design elements, quite unlike anything you expect on a car. Its radical, outrageous, gorgeous and fluid all at the same time. It has sex appeal, plenty of it and the C5 Aircross turns heads everywhere you drive it. And that stunning design ethos continues to elicit delight when you step into the cabin, where each and every element hits you in the face. You simply go wow, with a ‘I’ve never seen anything look like that before!’
