France's Citroen, one of the many brands that form Stellantis, on Monday revealed the new C5 X, a crossover whose shape is closer to a traditional wagon than your average crossover.
It replaces the C5 sedan that bowed out of production in 2017, and to a lesser degree the larger C6 sedan that ended production in 2012, and thus serves as the new flagship of the French brand.
Citroen previewed the design with the Cxperience concept car unveiled at the 2016 Paris International Motor Show. Astro vision lifesign with remedies crack download. While C5 X has been watered down somewhat compared to the concept, the vehicle should still stand out in a crowd.
The platform is Stellantis' EMP2 front-wheel-drive design which also underpins the Peugeot 508 and DS 9. The platform doesn't support battery-electric powertrains (Stellantis has an electric version in the works) but it does support plug-in hybrid technology. In the case of the C5 X, the range-topping powertrain is a plug-in hybrid generating a peak 225 hp from a turbocharged inline-4 and single electric motor. Citroen quotes a range of 31 miles on electric power alone.
The C5 X measures approximately 189 inches in length, making it about 2.5 inches shorter than the rival Subaru Outback. Inside, there's seating for five and up to 58 cubic feet of storage with the rear seats folded flat.

Citroen C5 Crossover
As many of you have already noticed, the mid-size sedan market has been eaten up by crossovers and SUVs of all types and sizes, not to mention that traditional French sedans have always had a tough time competing against their German counterparts.
Even Ford has decided to kill the future of the Mondeo sedan and replace it with a crossover-looking hatchback tentatively wearing the Mondeo Evos nameplate.
Following a similar path, it looks like the next generation of the Citroën C5 will have almost nothing in common with any of its predecessors, as spy photographers have caught the first pre-production prototype of the model while being road-tested in Europe.
The model is highly camouflaged, but the overall proportions are definitely those of an elongated C4, which has also switched from being a traditional-looking compact hatchback to having a crossover/SUV look.
Despite the rather high ground clearance, the 2023 Citroën C5 is not expected to feature all-wheel-drive on most of its versions, and the Citroën-famous pneumatic suspension might not make an appearance either.
A host of 1.2-, and 1.6-liter gasoline engines with various outputs and even a plug-in hybrid version should comprise the gasoline lineup, while diesel lovers will have to suffice with a choice between a 1.5-liter and a 2.0-liter.
An all-electric e-C5 is also expected to be in the works, but don’t expect a Tesla-level of performance or range, with Citroën being more focused on comfort and a quirky design.
With Citroën now part of Stellantis, which includes FCA, the arrival of the new C5 might also signal the re-launch of the Citroën brand in the United States, but this is all speculation at this point.
