C5 Aircross Concept
Family lounge SUV
With its organic and muscular design, it is sculpted to optimise aerodynamics. In an SUV segment where the silhouette is often unfavourable, the designers have employed various tricks to minimise its impact, creating full, generous volumes and fluid surfaces.
Muscular SUV
Assertive design
It presents itself as a dense block with generous volumes and an overall simple silhouette.
The front, designed vertically to incorporate the new logo, conveys strength and fluidity. The silhouette rests on widened tracks and marked shoulders, giving it a solid stance and an assertive posture on the road. The very vertical rear profile creates an impression of a large cargo volume.
Light Signature
Innovative design
Creating a piercing look and enhancing the width of the car, the front signature gives the entire vehicle a true status while blending modernity, technology, and character.
The fluid and muscular design of the wings and hood contrasts with the technical elements of the grille and headlights.
At the rear, the black strip on the tailgate is elevated to enhance presence and widen the vehicle, featuring two light points that appear to float on the side, known as Citroën light Wings. This original positioning also contributes to complex aerodynamics by guiding the airflow.
Sculpted Design
For efficiency
At the front, the C5 Aircross features a fluid, smooth face, with a slightly lower hood to enhance air penetration. The volumes are full and generous, ensuring a well-balanced overall silhouette for optimal aerodynamic flow. Measuring 4.65 meters, the vehicle has a sleek profile with an extended rear overhang and a contained height of 1.66 meters, optimising drag.
The rear section is particularly designed to improve aerodynamic performance. The roofline is sloping, and the cabin is curved at the top. Aerodynamic appendages on the quarter panel, inspired by technology and electronics, aid in cooling and ventilation. These bi-coloured striated elements on the quarter panel help guide airflow.
