Citroen C5 Aircross Facelift TIDAK Akan Datang Ke Malaysia

C5 Aircross facelift sudah tiba, tetapi hanya untuk pasaran di mana ia menjadi kali pertama dulu.

Citroën C5 Aircross, yang pernah dimasukkan ke dalam perancangan untuk pengeluaran tempatan di Gurun, mungkin tidak akan datang ke Malaysia dalam apa jua cara, bentuk sekali pun kerana Bermaz Auto Alliance telah memutuskan untuk meletakkan usaha jualannya kepada cabang Peugeot Stellantis. Namun begitu, di peringkat global, C5 Aircross telah diberi pembaharuan dan ia kekal popular di bahagian lain di dunia, menjual lebih 260,000 unit sejak pelancarannya pada 2018, jadi kami berasa terdorong untuk berkongsi maklumat dengan pembaca kami tentang Citroën yang baharu dan dipertingkat ini dengan saingannya, Peugeot 3008.

Secara ringkasnya, C5 Aircross telah diberi ubah suai yang lebih berprestij, moden dan dinamik. Ia memaparkan gaya luaran yang lebih tajam dan bahan serta warna yang lebih baik di bahagian dalam. Pembaharuan terbesar datang dalam bentuk rupa baharu yang lebih matang kereta itu.

Keseluruhan bodywork telah dialihkan dari lengkung ke garisan yang lebih lurus dan berstruktur. Muka kereta lebih menegak dan moden, di samping bahagian hadapan yang kelihatan lebih luas secara visual. Tafsiran baharu logo jenama Citroën menghiasi bahagian hadapan dan ia memisahkan dirinya daripada grafik lampu siang, menandakan peralihan dalam bahasa reka bentuk daripada model lain.

Chevron logo itu kini dalam lakuer hitam dalam krom. Satu set kekunci piano krom dan hitam menggabungkannya secara halus ke dalam kelompok lampu depan. Tema reka bentuk ‘kekunci piano’ ini dilanjutkan kepada LED tandatangan dan memberikan lampu hadapan kesan 3D berteknologi tinggi dan lebih mendalam. Projektor LED Vision lebih diskret dan lebih gelap.

MORE ELEGANT AND DYNAMIC CUSTOMISATION

In order to better meet the expectations of customers in the C-SUV segment, New C5 Aircross relies on elegant customisation to significantly improve the vehicle’s move upmarket.

C5 Aircross adopts a new Eclipse Blue body colour, a very deep and elegant blue which changes from dark blue to black depending on the external light. The range has now narrowed around prestigious and customers favourite body colours: Polar White, Pearlescent White, Perla Nera Black, Platinum Grey, Steel Grey and the new colour called Eclipse Blue.

The new colours of the Colour Packs feature on the front air intakes and the Airbump®. Four new Colour Packs, which allow C5 Aircross to assert its SUV character and its elegance: Glossy Black, Dark Chrome, Anodized Bronze and Energetic Blue. The two-tone black roof and black roof bars from the Shine finish add even more refinement to the vehicle.

A PASSENGER COMPARTMENT EVOLVING TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE AND REFINED

Following the move to make the exterior more upmarket, the interior of the New C5 Aircross has been given a more dynamic and refined makeover, with improvements to space and comfort that are obvious as soon as you set off. The high driving position, the perceived quality of the materials and the ergonomics and practicality of the interfaces make it a modern and distinguished SUV.

A NEW 10” TOUCHSCREEN

C5 Aircross gets a new 10” touchscreen that appears to float on the dashboard and immerses driver and passengers in a more modern passenger compartment. This new, larger screen improves ergonomics by offering direct-access climate controls and a higher reading that allows you to keep your eyes on the road. The vents are now located below the screen and have been modernised with a new sharp, horizontal design. The new 10” touchscreen will be fitted to the petrol and diesel versions with navigation, and from the Feel version for hybrids.

In addition, the fully customisable 12”3 digital display provides all essential and customisable information directly in the driver’s eye-line: navigation map report, information on active driver-assistance systems, information on the operating status of the hybrid engine, etc. – ensuring that the driver’s eyes stay on the road for completely safe driving.

NEW CITROËN ADVANCED COMFORT^® SEATS

C5 Aircross is equipped with the new generation of Citroën Advanced Comfort^® seats already present on C4 and C5 X. Made of high-density foam in the core of the seat, an extra 15 mm layer of foam and a specific construction, Citroën Advanced Comfort^® seats offer the best in terms of visual comfort, seating comfort and driving comfort, and for the long term thanks to a special type of foam that resists sagging over time. To further improve the comfort of the driver and front passenger, the front seats can be heated and massaged.

Furthermore, colours and materials have been refined, with a choice of premium materials to highlight comfort and higher quality. The seats, wear a new structured and contemporary fabric for mid-range versions, a new soft-touch Alcantara on the Shine level, as well as a new high-end perforated leather option. The armrests and the central console are made of a new black leather effect fabric and the dashboard, of a new structured black leather effect insert.

The modernised entry-level ambience and the four new Advanced Comfort ambiences create a more elegant, dynamic and qualitative atmosphere. New Blue stiching decorates the seats, door panels and dash board on all ambiences in a very coherent and elegant way. The Wild Black ambience replaces the Wild Grey ambience, with a new flamine black structured fabric mixed with a new grey leather-effect fabric and the blue stitching. The Urban Black ambience combines a new Alcantara black and a black leather-effect fabric. The Metropolitan Black ambience replaces the current Metropolitan Grey with a new black grained leather and the new grey leather-effect fabric. Finally, the Hype Black ambience has been refreshed to decorate the high-end finishes with a subtle blend between the new perforated Paloma leather and Blue Nappa leather.

NEW CENTRAL CONSOLE

The central console, high and large, has been modernised with a black leather-effect-fabric enhanced by chrome design lines which underline, on automatic gearboxes, a more ergonomic layout of controls: a new, elegant and hi-tech e-Toggle gear selector, a new driving mode selection button incorporating the Grip Control function and, on the plug-in-hybrid versions, an intuitive choice of the driving mode (Electric, Hybrid or Sport). The central console also integrates a large storage trail regrouping the connectivity with 2 USB-ports and a wireless charger.

STILL A BENCHMARK FOR ON-BOARD PEACE OF MIND

THE DISTINCTIVE ELEMENTS OF ON-BOARD COMFORT

As a distinguished representative of the comfort part of Citroën’s DNA, New C5 Aircross retains characteristics that make it stand out in its segment, contributing to an overall experience focused on well-being and ease of use.

The only SUV in the segment to offer three individual sliding, reclining and retractable rear seats, allowing you to enjoy people carrier-level modularity in a real SUV. The boot volume is a record for the segment: from 580 L to 720 L in the petrol and diesel versions and from 460 L to 600 L for the hybrid version.

Finally, special attention has been paid to the acoustic characteristics with the option of benefiting from acoustic laminated front windows which amplify the cocoon effect within the car.

PLUG-IN HYBRID: ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF COMFORT

The offer of a plug-in hybrid engine for mid-range versions further enhances on-board well-being, thanks to the benefits of electric driving for daily journeys up to 55 km and unlimited driving range for long journeys using the petrol engine.

The plug-in-hybrid motorisation allows a driving in silence and absence of vibrations in electric mode up to 135 km/h, offers an instant availability of 320 Nm of torque, ensuring permanent user comfort by guaranteeing dynamic pick-up at all times. With zero CO₂ emissions it gives the freedom to access urban areas where petrol and diesel vehicles are banned.
