NEW 48V HYBRID POWERTRAIN

 

The new powertrain is based on the latest compact and lightweight hybrid technology. It includes a 48V battery pack that charges in use, a specially designed 136hp PureTech petrol engine, a new electrified dual-clutch ë-DCS6 gearbox, and a 21kW electric motor.

 

With CO₂ emissions of only 129g/km on the combined WLTP cycle, the C5 Aircross Hybrid 136 emits 15% less CO₂ than the equivalent non-electrified petrol version. It also emits almost 12% less CO₂ than the diesel-powered version. The C5 Aircross Hybrid 136 enhances the Citroën electrified range, which also includes the Plug-in Hybrid 225.

 

The introduction of the C5 Aircross Hybrid 136 is part of Citroën’s electrification strategy, which now consists of 10 models, ranging from hybrid to 100% electric, including Plug-in Hybrids and models from Ami to New C5 X, catering to different customer needs.

 

Ë-SERIES TRIM

 

The C5 Aircross with the new 48V Hybrid powertrain is available in Shine or the new ë-Series trim level.

 

Shine variants come with generous standard features, including 18” diamond-cut bi-tone ‘Pulsar’ alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, a customisable 12.3” digital instrument cluster, and a 10” infotainment system with Citroën Connect Nav, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay®. Shine variants also include a Dark Chrome colour pack, glossy black roof bars, electric heated folding door mirrors with LED welcome lighting, and the Drive Assist Pack with the latest safety technology.

 

Ë-Series is based on the C-Series variants and offers unique style cues, additional technology, and the use of recycled materials. Ë-Series variants include 19” Onyx Black ‘Art’ alloy wheels, ë-Series exterior detailing and badging, a bi-tone roof, and a panoramic glass sunroof. Inside, they feature light grey Alcantara® R-Evolution fabric and leather-effect cloth, Next-Generation Advanced Comfort Seats with electric driver seat adjustment, heated front seats, and the Drive Assist Pack with Highway Driver Assist.

 

The ë-Series versions of the C5 Aircross use quality materials such as Alcantara® for the seats, backrests, and armrests. The fabric is manufactured using an innovative process that incorporates 68% recycled fibres, enhancing the interior’s perceived quality and providing better support for occupants.

 

The C5 Aircross features Citroën’s Advanced Comfort® Programme, with enhanced suspension and supportive seating for a smoother ride. It also includes Citroën’s Progressive Hydraulic Cushion® technology, which improves control on damaged surfaces by integrating hydraulic bump stops into the suspension system.

 

Inside, the C5 Aircross comes with Advanced Comfort® seats that offer comfort and relaxation with broad cushions, seat backs with high-density foam, and a layer of extra textured foam on the surface.
