Citroën C5 Aircross SUV Hybrid comes with a powerful and adaptable new powertrain, with a PureTech 180 Stop & Start petrol engine and an 80kW electric motor, combined with a new ë-EAT8 automatic gearbox, to offer the equivalent of up to 225hp and a smooth, comfortable and serene driving experience that is synonymous with a Citroën. The combined petrol engine and electric motor produces CO2 of just 32-33g/km and fuel efficiency of up to 168mpg on a combined cycle, (WLTP certified, dependent on version).

It has three driving modes; electric, hybrid and sport. In electric, the car uses only the battery-powered electric motor and has a range of up to 34miles (WLTP certified).

In hybrid, the car chooses the best mix of electric and petrol propulsion to suit the driving style whilst optimising efficiency; while in sport the car combines the power of electric and petrol motors to offer outstanding performance.
