Back in 2021, the French automaker Citroen launched its facelift C5 Aircross in India. The SUV has been available in the international market for a longer time and the company has now launched a facelift version of the car. The facelift C5 Aircross has been revealed in the international markets wherein the SUV gets a new updated front fascia. This model will eventually make it to India as well.
Citroen has not changed the overall design and looks of the C5. However, the company has given the SUV a more conventional design of the front fascia. The updated version now gets new single piece headlights integrated with dual Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), newly designed front bumper and grille.
Just like before, the additional air intake slots on the front bumper are still there on the edges and the air-dam at the center is now narrower than before. The updated bumper of the SUV will also help in improving the aerodynamics of the car. On the side, the SUV looks exactly the same as before, only the alloy-wheel design has been changed. Looking at the rear profile of the car, it now features a set of new rectangular shaped LED tail lamps otherwise no such changes can be noticed.
Not just the exterior but the interior of the car has also been tweaked a bit. It now sports a complete new central console that has been replaced with a 10-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system. The cube shaped ac vents have now been replaced with rectangular shaped vents that look more modern and suit the theme of the cabin.
The gear lever of the automatic gearbox now comes with a toggle switch unit and an updated switchgear. The front passenger seats have also been updated with 15mm additional padding to make it more comfortable and also offers cooling and heating. With few updates inside the cabin, the SUV looks more modern and futuristic.
