The Citroen AirCross Concept will be named as Cross Space.
The Citroen Cross Space will replace the C4 Aircross model .The French manufacturer will make this new cross on the Mitsubishi ASX/Outlander Sport platform, and will be similar to its distant cousin Peugeot 4008.

While the Citroen Cross Space’s front grille looks resembles its siblings, it gets a new fascia. Some of the design elements have been picked up from the C4 Cactus, but this does look a lot rugged.
Plastic mouldings on the front bumper, wheel arches and even the rocker to give an SUV-like stance.
The small glass-in area and the floating roof design give it an aggressive stance. Then there are the roof rails and the panoramic roof too. This is likely to be powered by a diesel engine, mostly an existing 1.6-litre HDi from the Peugeot-Citroen stable.

Citroen's Aircross concept revealed.
The Citroën Aircross concept is powered by a plug-in hybrid drivetrain.

The Aircross’s production intent is emphasised by the fact that it sits on the EMP2 scalable platform, which underpins all of PSA Peugeot Citroën’s mid to large offerings. The concept car is 4.58m long, 2.1m wide and 1.8m tall.


The Aircross is powered by a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. An electric motor producing 95bhp and 148lb ft is located on the rear axle and is combined with a front-mounted 1.6-litre petrol engine developing 218bhp and 203lb ft.

The electric motor is fuelled by a lithium ion battery pack that can be recharged in three and a half hours via a domestic socket. The car has a claimed all-electric range of 31 miles for urban routes and switches between the electric motor and internal combustion engine for journeys that call for regular acceleration and deceleration. On the motorway, the petrol engine is used exclusively.

Citroën Aircross - key features

Changing faces - As on the Cactus, the thin headlights link to the Citroën logo. The design is described as a hallmark that will appear on every car Citroën makes, but the area below will change according to bodystyle. On the Aircross, the ‘mouth’ of the car is more open than on the Cactus, emphasising its width.

Not just chrome - Citroën is bucking trends set by German premium makers. As a result, there are few chrome accents in the cabin. Materials here include Teflon coating and brushed aluminium, which are durable but tactile. Citroën refers to ‘sofa spirit’, meaning an interior that’s both inviting and comfortable.

Airbumps evolve - Set low to emphasise the car’s bolder SUV stance, the ‘Alloy Bumps’ are made of honeycomb aluminium castings surrounded by hard rubber. Production versions are unlikely to be so intricate or weighty, but they show how the Airbump concept will evolve for different vehicle types.

Production focus - Exaggerated width, wheels and tyres aside, there are likely to be few changes when the car makes production. The ‘Air Signs’ (chrome-finished signatures framing the rear window) and ‘Air Curtains’ (intakes at the front of the car) are both functional devices that enhance aerodynamics.

Citroen C5 AirCross in a Moose Test

Citroen-C3-Aircross.jpg


Before we start talking about the outcome, why is it necessary to conduct a moose test?. Moose test is basically a method to check how fastly can a car maneuver when it faces with emergency direction changes. In this test, the driver swerves a moving car into left direction and then immediately to the opposite direction and checks if the car skids, flips or if the steering is fully under control. It is done to imitate an emergency lane change maneuver when an object or animal suddenly comes in front of the car.


The video has been uploaded by KM77. In this video, C5 is put on test under different speed. Initailly, Aircross does the Moose test at 73 Kmph. The car remained very stable and succesfully changed lane to left and then back to the right one. Next, it approaches the cone at a speed of 79 Kmph and still manages to remain stable and driver could maneuver the SUV without too much effort. Same test is done at a higher speed of 81 kmph and 84 Kmph, here also the C5 stays stable, but due to the higher speed,it hits couple of cones that were put in between. The C5 Aircross performed pretty well and the performance was good.
