POISSY, FRANCE :

Citroën has unveiled its new flagship, C5 X, which breathes new life into the large car segment with an original design that combines a saloon and a station wagon, an innovative proposition in the purest tradition of great Citroën cars. This new model, available in both petrol and plug-in hybrid versions, expresses modernity, status and innovation, all of which are high expectations for customers in the large car as well as SUV segments.

C5 X breaks new ground with the World Première introduction of Citroën Advanced Comfort ® active suspension, which further enhances the impression of travelling on a magic carpet, a sensation closely linked to the history of Citroën. It is a real invitation to travel, with its lounge-like interior space offering the recognised comfort of Advanced Comfort seats and unparalleled roominess, particularly in row 2. The boot, with a 545-litre capacity and meticulous workmanship, is ideally suited to the needs of station wagon customers. The plug-in hybrid version, with ë-Comfort combined with driving in electric mode on a daily basis, enhances the feeling of serenity on board.

This feeling of well-being on board is also increased by advanced technologies that simplify the use of the car. For instance, the Extended Head Up Display, as well as a range of driving assistance features that reduce the driver's mental load, such as Highway Driver Assist, or the new infotainment interface with a central 12-inch HD touch screen, natural voice recognition and a customisable display with widgets, just like on a tablet.

C5 X arouses surprise and excitement at first sight in a rather traditional D-segment. With its strong concept, unique on the market, C5 X is naturally positioned as Citroën's new top-of-the-range car and is inspired, right down to its name, by the CXperience Concept, unveiled at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

C5 X's bodystyle is immediately striking: assertive, robust and distinctive. Renewing the codes of the D-segment, it features an fastback bodystyle that blends saloon and station wagon by adding some elements that make SUVs so appealing. It is a all-new shape with particular attention paid to aerodynamics.

C5 X's passenger compartment gives a real impression of warmth, tranquillity and space, an invitation to travel through generous proportions, a sense of welcome, a unique attention to detail and unprecedented practicality. Elegance and comfort, combined with innovative but discreet technology, are the watchwords of this welcoming passenger compartment, in the purest Citroën tradition.

Practicality has been considered down to the last detail in the design of C5 X. Therefore, in order to appeal to European customers who are keen on versatility, the boot of C5 X has been designed in the spirit of a station wagon, both in terms of its dimensions and its exclusive features: a generous load volume of 545 litres and up to 1,640 litres when the rear seat is folded down, offering a flat floor, a wide and functional opening, a low sill and straight walls. A luggage roll up, linked with the tailgate, makes loading easier, while the motorised tailgate has a hands-free function so that you are not caught unawares when opening or closing it with your arms full. The whole passenger compartment contains cleverly designed storage spaces, which have been carefully designed to hold, store or conceal all your everyday items.

C5 X also offers an offering suitable for all uses, for everyday life and for the unexpected, without constraints and in complete freedom: the Plug-in Hybrid. Delivering 225 hp, this hybrid offers the pleasure of silent start-up and operation with zero CO 2 emissions, with the possibility of driving more than 50 km in ZEV mode, a range in electric mode suitable for the majority of users' daily journeys, up to 135 km/h. It is therefore possible to spend a week without using the internal combustion engine while making your usual journeys, recharging the vehicle as required, at home, at work or at a public charging point. At the same time it is possible to travel far away, to go on weekends or holidays without worrying about recharging, as the internal combustion engine, which is economical and efficient, takes over.

C5 X adopts state-of-the-art technologies to make travel more relaxed, safer and even more fun. C5 X is also at the cutting edge of technology in the field of driving assistance systems, using the various devices installed all around the vehicle: radar, cameras and sensors.
