Citroën C5 Aircross Goes Fully Electric With Claimed 422‑Mile Range

Early reviews say Citroën’s new family EV prioritises comfort and space over speed.

Overview

  • The second‑generation model adds the ë‑C5 Aircross on Stellantis’ STLA‑M platform, joining Peugeot e‑3008 and Vauxhall Grandland relatives.
  • Two batteries are offered: a 97kWh Extended Range claiming up to 422 miles and a 73kWh Standard Range claiming up to 320 miles, with 160kW DC charging enabling 20–80% in about 27 minutes.
  • UK pricing is confirmed at £34,065 for You!, £36,705 for Plus and £39,345 for Max, with Extended Range pricing yet to be disclosed.
  • Test drives report a serene ride from Citroën’s comfort‑tuned suspension, a 0–62mph time of around 8.9 seconds and a noted EV weight penalty that softens cornering response.
  • Family‑focused practicality includes the ‘C‑Zen Lounge’ cabin, reclining rear seats and a 651‑litre boot, plus V2L capability and a new eight‑year/100,000‑mile vehicle warranty.
