Citroen debuts C5 Aircross and C-Aircross Concept at Shanghai Motor Show

Citroen confirms its worldwide offensive in the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment with the presentation of two new models at the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show. The C5 Aircross makes its global debut alongside the C-Aircross Concept that previews the brand's future compact SUV - the C3 Aircross.

Dongfeng Citroen is expanding its range with the world premiere of the new C5 Aircross SUV. Set for launch in China in the second half of 2017, this new model will subsequently see production and its commercial launch in Europe at the end of 2018. Alongside the new C5 Aircross, the brand will showcase the C-Aircross Concept, which previews Citroen's future compact SUV.

Citroen has also announced that the production version will be called the C3 Aircross, which will be launched in Europe before the end of 2017. In China, these two new models will sit alongside the Citroen C3-XR, an SUV with an assertive personality and Dongfeng Citroen's second best-selling model in 2016, with nearly 150,000 units sold since launch in 2015.
