Overview
- Citroen has confirmed that production of the C5 X in the UK will end by the close of May 2025, with existing orders fulfilled and remaining stock sold until depleted.
- The C5 X, launched in 2022, struggled to compete in the D-segment due to strong premium brand competition and shifting consumer preferences toward SUVs.
- Citroen leadership cited the model's lack of electric powertrain compatibility as a key factor in its discontinuation, contrasting with the rest of its electrified lineup.
- The newly unveiled C5 Aircross, available in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric versions, will now serve as Citroen's flagship model.
- CEO Thierry Koskas indicated that Citroen may avoid the D-segment entirely in the future, given its small market size and dominance by luxury brands.
