French carmaker, Citroen has teased their upcoming 2022 C5 model ahead of its global debut on April 12, 2021.

The 2022 Citroen C5 (not to be confused with the C5 Aircross SUV) is said to be a sedan offering, based on the brand’s Cxperience concept car from 2016. The upcoming Citroen C5 is said to offer the practicality of an estate, the high ground clearance of an SUV while having a sedan-like roofline.



The teaser showcases a glimpse of the model’s sleek LED headlamps and LED taillamps. The rear also seems to have a roof-mounted spoiler, while the boot features the ‘Citroen’ badging, below its double chevron logo.



The car is currently codenamed ‘E43’, with the brand yet to confirm the ‘C5’ moniker. However, reports do suggest that Citroen could skip the C5 name to avoid any confusion with its C5 Aircross SUV offering. The company is expected to announce the name alongside the global unveil, next week.



The new Citroen model is also said to be based on the EMP2 platform, which allows electrification. This means, that the 2022 Citroen C5 could come with petrol-hybrid powertrains as well.

Looks like Citroen's been inspired by the Creta's new design for headlamps and DRL's.

New Citroen C5 X revealed, described as a blend of a saloon, estate, and SUV.





The new Citroen C5 X measures 4,805 mm long, 1,865 mm wide, and 1,485 mm tall, which gives it a size similar to that of a VW Passat Variant, or Estate. The wheelbase is quite long, measuring 2,785 mm.







All variants of the new C5 X will feature Citroen’s ‘Advanced Comfort’ suspension system but the plug-in hybrid models will get the new Active version as standard fit.



A 12-inch high-definition touchscreen display for the infotainment system which also supports natural voice recognition, and features customizable screens with various widgets. The system is accompanied by four USB sockets, over-the-air updates, and a wireless smartphone charger.



The new Citroen C5 X also features an extended head-up display that features a full-color, large-scale projection onto the windscreen



Citroen C5 X will be available with both plug-in hybrid and petrol powertrains; the range-topping model will offer 225 HP from combining a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and an electric motor, which will be capable of driving up to 84 mph (135 km/h) in EV mode and offer a pure electric driving range of up to 31 miles (50 km).





In addition, the new flagship Citroen model features a long list of active safety systems, including Highway Driver Assist -a Level 2 driver-assistance system-, Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Top 360 Vision Surround View Camera.



The new Citroen C5 X will go on sale in Europe in late 2021, with pricing details to be announced at a later date.

Man, this looks beautiful. Alas, no hopes of this coming to India and being priced properly.

That's a beautifully blended design from the Citroen, Love at first sight for me.

Looks smashing, similar to the new-gen Peugeot designs. There is an SUV in it, Sedan in it, and an Estate/Notchback in it!

If they can pitch it in the 25-35 lakh price bracket and launch it in India, they can surely get some buyers.
