Citroën announced the debut of its first plug-in model, the Citroën C5 Aircross SUV Hybrid at the Brussels Motor Show (January 10-19), which starts electrification of the brand (more on that down below).

A concept of the C5 Aircross PHEV was shown in 2018 and it seems that the Citroën C5 Aircross SUV Hybrid will be joining Peugeot 3008 GT Hybrid4 and Opel Grandland X Hybrid4 / Vauxhall Grandland X Hybrid4 with the same specs, as PSA Group's strategy is to cut costs by using the same solution in all brands.

"C5 Aircross SUV Hybrid. Unveiled as a World Premiere, this offer at the heart of the market allows as many people as possible to benefit from the versatility of a plug-in hybrid model. C5 Aircross SUV is a true ë-Comfort Class Silent Urban Vehicle offering a range of 50 kmi in 100% electric mode. Already a reference in comfort and modularity, it takes another step forward in the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme with this plug-in hybrid version: enhanced cocoon-effect and driving experience for everyday electric driving in complete peace of mind."

Besides the plug-in hybrid C5 Aircross, Citroën shows also its jubilee, two-seat, all-electric Citroën Ami One Concept, created for 100 anniversary of the brand.

"Ami One Concept, a breakthrough object with a unique character, 2 seats, 100% electric, that puts digital technology at the heart of a new experience of urban mobility, for greater freedom and serenity, to meet the new challenges of mobility in the city. Fitted with a bold and colourful design, providing ease of use and strengthened convenience, it is accessible without driving licence and can be used for all types of "à la carte" uses, from car-sharing to rental.
