This, boys and girls, is the Citroen C5 Aircross. Well, a drawing of it, at least.The car itself will be on show at next week"s Shanghai motor show, and it"s the latest model in something Citroen calls its SUV offensive".So it"s bigger than the forthcoming C3 crossover (previewed at the Geneva motor show), and it"ll launch in China initially, before European sales begin at the end of 2018.Curiously, Citroen calls the C5 Aircross people-minded". Name us a car that isn"t people-minded below if you can, please. We"re confused.In less vague terms, the comfort and wellbeing of passengers is top of its agenda. So there"s lots of room, super comfy suspension with in Citroen"s words Progressive Hydraulic Cushions". The idea is that ruts and bumps in the road are completely smothered out. Given lots of SUVs roll on 20-odd-inch wheels and jitter about the place because, y"know, style, it"s a welcome idea.Think you"ve seen the C5 Aircross before? Citroen showed us an SUV concept two years ago that looks remarkably similar. Seems, then, that it"s confident this is how its large crossover should look. With that in mind, would you buy one over the more premium-badged establishment?Share this page: FacebookTwitterGoogle+WhatsAppMailtoCopy link
