Citroen C5 X unveiled,expected in the showrooms early next year
Since 1919, the Citroën brand has shown boldness and an unfailing human attachment. On the strength of its more than 100 years' old heritage and more than 300 models, some of which have forever marked the automotive industry.
Now the company has a new flagship : The C5 X, it's a high-riding estate crossover of sorts.
With its choice of pure petrol engine or 1.6-litre plug-in hybrid (225PS) powertrain which can traverse up to 50km on electric power alone, the Citroën C5 X debuts an all-new active suspension, called Citroën Advanced Comfort active, which is claimed to further advance the 'magic carpet ride' feel that's been the hallmark of Citroën. Citroën claim the suspension is allowed to slacken off even more, for even greater bump absorption and comfort as the system fitted in other cars.
Also the new features are an extended head-up display, a large 12-inch touchscreen with a new infotainment interface.
The Citroën C5 X uses the manufacturer's new V-shaped all-LED light signature to great effect, allowing the scalloped hood to lead into muscular fenders and exaggerated wheel arches with cladding, with the dropping roofline helping to mask the C5 X's substantial 4,805mm overall length, and giving it a near SUV-coupe profile.
Wheelbase :
Its 2,785mm long wheelbase is quite comparable to 7-seater SUVs as well, though seating is for five, TheCitroën claims enhanced ground clearance being a major contributor to its overall stance, even though it marks a low-to-the-ground 1,485mm in height. The advantage of the long wheelbase will be outstanding space in the second row, and a 545-litre boot capacity, expandable up to 1,640-litres.
Interiors:
The cabin should feel light and airy, given the panoramic sunroof and large glasshouse all around.The dashboard is laid out in an uncluttered fashion, with a large central 12-inch touchscreen showing off Citroën's new infotainment interface, meant to resemble a tablet's interface, while still including physical controls for pertinent functions and wireless smartphone connectivity. A new head-up display brings a full-scale, colour display projected onto the windscreen. Another big feature is the Advanced Comfort seats, made of high-density layers of thickened and structured foam, which should work in conjunction with the new Citroën Advanced Comfort active suspension , an advanced active version of the Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension system as fitted to the Citroën C5 Aircross launched in India.
The Citroën C5 X is expected in international showrooms early next year.
