STRONG POINTS
CITROEN is unveiling New SUV C5 Aircross, 100% SUV in its body with its large wheels, robust and muscular design and high ground clearance, and 100% Citroën in its personality, graphic features and broad range of customisation options. New SUV C5 Aircross is the most comfortable and modular SUV in its segment, and Best in Class for its boot capacity (from 580 to 720 l according to whether the seats are advanced or not). An ambassador of the Citroën Advanced Comfort programme, it offers major innovations such as the Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension system, Advanced Comfort seats and three independent, adjustable and easily removed rear seats. It is a Next-Generation SUV with 20 driver assistance technologies and six connectivity technologies.
New SUV C5 Aircross is fitted with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions ® suspension, a Citroën innovation driven by the company’s expertise in the suspension field. This technology, which arose from the Brand’s experience in auto racing, improves shock absorption, in particular on landing jumps, without causing any bouncing. It offers greater freedom in the car’s clearance, providing a “magic carpet ride” effect giving the impression that the car is gliding over the ground.
The wide and comfortable seats of New SUV C5 Aircross give passengers the feeling they are seated in an armchair in a portable living room. 15mm-thick foam ensures their softness and durability. The front seats are filled with high-density foam to avoid poor posture after long periods of driving, and can be adjusted vertically; the headrests can be adjusted vertically and longitudinally. The front seats also offer a multi-point massage system.
With its three individual, adjustable rear seats, New SUV C5 Aircross is the most modular vehicle in its segment. These seats are all the same width and can be adjusted forward and back, which makes it possible to adapt the cabin space or the boot. They are incline-adjustable with five positions, and can be easily removed to form a flat floor thanks to the two-level boot floor. New SUV C5 Aircross also boasts many storage compartments, including the central armrest, which covered a large cooled compartment.
