In the market for a new Citroën C5 Aircross? Then we have good news for you. At least, if you are in the market for a Citroën C5 Aircross with a mild-hybrid drivetrain. The mild-hybrid C5 Aircross is becoming cheaper. The plug-in hybrid versions are actually becoming more expensive.
The Citroën C5 Aircross has been with us for seven years this year. The SUV was presented in 2017 and came onto the market in the Netherlands a year later. A lot has changed during his life. After a few years, the C5 Aircross became available with plug-in hybrid powertrains and in 2022 the SUV was thoroughly overhauled. The Citroën C5 Aircross is now also available with mild-hybrid technology. These are the mild-hybrid versions whose prices drop by €1,750. At the same time, the prices of the plug-in hybrid Citroën C5 Aircross are increasing. The 180 hp plug-in versions will be €1,250 more expensive. The 225 hp plug-in hybrid top versions now cost €700 more than before. The prices of the regular 130 hp petrol version without mild-hybrid support remain the same.

Future?
About 6,100 copies of the Citroën C5 Aircross have been registered since its Dutch market introduction. 654 of these found a Dutch owner in 2023. This means that the SUV is certainly no longer Citroën’s fastest selling model in our country, although it was still good for third place in the Citroën rankings. The SUV had to outpace the C3 (2,129 units) and C4 (1,666 units). It was ahead of the C3 Aircross (463 units), C4 X (335 units) and the C5 X (313 units). Next year Citroën will launch a successor to the C5 Aicross. This will be a technical sister model of the Peugeot (e-) 3008 and (e-) 5008, which will be released this year. So you can count on the C5 Aircross successor to also be available with electric powertrains.
