Visually larger and imposing, Citroën C5 Aircross introduces a new design language in which curves give way to more structured lines. The styling of the front end has had a facelift to become more vertical and modern, reinforcing the character of a safe and imposing vehicle. The taut lines and vertical stepped construction contribute to visual widening the front end of C5 Aircross. Appearing wider and more imposing on the road, it presents a highly confident attitude.
New C5 Aircross is adorned with a new interpretation of the Brand logo, which gradually gains its independence and detaches itself from the daytime running lights, thereby marking a move on from other models in the range, in which the chevrons extended to the daytime running lights via a chrome strip. The chevrons now appear in black lacquer set off in chrome. They extend visually via a set of increasingly tight chrome and black piano keys that gradually blend into LED daytime running lights. Very subtle, refined and detailed work has been done in this section to enhance the overall impression. This gives the logo more breathing space in the centre of the grille.
Characteristic of the new Citroën identity, the V-shaped day time running lights LED signature is made of a piano keys design which gives a hi-tech and deeper-looking 3D effect to the front lights. Furthermore, the LED Vision projector are more discrete and darker, prolonging visually the black grille and further accentuating the robustness of the vehicle.
A MORE DYNAMIC PROFILE, A NEW VISUAL SIGNATURE AT THE REAR
The new vertical and structured profile of the nose reinforces the perception of power and robustness at first glance. This enhancement is also found at the rear in the new structured headlight lenses. Citroën C5 Aircross features a distinctive posture, expressed through its full and generous modelling, its high and horizontal bonnet, as well as a 360° glazed line drawing a chrome C side signature and reinforcing the floating effect of the roof. The attributes of a powerful and reassuring SUV also appear in its muscular side panels: ground clearance of 230 mm, large 720 mm-diameter wheels, 360° protections including Airbump® and wheel arches, distinctive roof bars and a dominating driving position.
In addition, several new style elements on the side panels enhance its elegance and modernity, like the new 18" diamond-cut PULSAR alloy wheels with a very graphic aerodynamic design and a subtle play of colours and materials between aluminium and glossy black; the new Glossy Black colour of the rear-view mirror shells, standard across the range, which enhances the elegance and perceived quality; the glossy black functional roof bars with a new matt black insert; the new design for the Airbump® Colour Packs, echoing the prestigious colours of the front-end inserts.
