CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS HYBRID: Plug-in hybrid technology comes to the French marque's SUV range-topper

摘要

Until last year, it was a 40-year tradition that Citroen's biggest and most expensive model should be a large, likeable, slow-selling and fast-depreciating business saloon. In 2019, however, the company corrected that mistake by launching a distinctive SUV flagship, the C5 Aircross. Now, a two-model range of plug-in hybrids is catapulting the C5 Aircross to the front rank of SUV efficiency. The entry-level Flair PHEV costs a very reasonable ￡35,370, considering it comes with kit like climate control and traffic-monitoring nav, but the bargain is the Flair Plus, which costs less than ￡1500 more while adding more ornate 19in alloy wheels(instead of 18s), half-leather trim, an electric-adjust driver's seat, radar cruise control and a hands-free motorised tailgate.
