The Citroën C5 Aircross Plug-in Hybrid, boosted to 225 hp, combines daily electric efficiency with impressive range.
The plug-in hybrid version of the Citroën C5 Aircross stands out with its increased versatility compared to the previous generation. Redesigned technically, it features a fuel tank increased to 55 liters and an optimized operating logic to reduce consumption, even when the battery is empty. Its power rises from 195 to 225 hp, in anticipation of the Euro 7 standard, without any mechanical modifications to the engine. This measure better reflects the performance observed in the market.
Equipped with a 21.5 kWh gross battery (17.8 kWh usable) and a 55-liter fuel tank, this SUV is suitable for drivers looking to drive in electric mode daily while ensuring peaceful long-distance travel.
The model combines a 1.6L thermal engine with 150 hp (110 kW) and an electric motor with 125 hp (56 kW), integrated into a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (eDCS7). Both motors can operate together or separately as needed, with three modes available: Hybrid, Electric, and Sport. In combined cycle, the consumption is 2.5 L/100 km, with CO2 emissions at 55 g/km.
Over 1100 km for long journeys
The electric range reaches 113 km in urban cycle and 96 km in combined cycle, marking a 33% increase compared to the previous model. This more than covers the average daily commute of 34 km. A full charge takes 5h15 on a 7.4 kW wallbox with the standard 3.7 kW charger, or 2h55 with the 7.4 kW option.
On the highway, the fuel tank allows for up to 650 km, contributing to a total range of 1100 km. This configuration meets the expectations of buyers of C-segment SUVs seeking reliability over long distances.
The C5 Aircross positions itself as one of the most comfortable family SUVs on the market, featuring progressive hydraulic stop suspensions and Advanced Comfort seats. Its aerodynamic design includes a spacious interior, a trunk that remains the same regardless of the engine, and a modern dashboard equipped with a Cascade touchscreen. Driving aids include Matrix LED headlights and the Drive Assist Pack 2.0, enhancing safety and well-being on board.
