Star of «la Maison Citroën» at Paris Motor Show 2018, new C5 Aircross Suv embodies the brand’s new look and heralds Citroën’s Hybrid Plug-in offensive

At the Paris Motor Show, being held from 4 to 14 October 2018 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Citroën will emphasise the consistency of its new look guided by its brand signature “Inspired By You”:

  • A business performance driven by a new, strong and consistent range, with six models released in less than two years, each sharing a distinctive design as well as outstanding comfort via the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme with in World Premiere : New #c5aircross #SUV, the brand’s new flagship, produced in France
  • A brand for the core market presenting the first stage in its offensive to achieve 100% of the range having an electric option with in World Premiere : New Citroën #c5aircross #SUV Hybrid Concept
  • An iconic brand, century-old in 2019, celebrating the 70th birthday of the 2CV, and teaming up with icons, such as Jean Charles de Castelbajac and ELLE in the world of fashion and Rip Curl in that of surf wear.

At its 1600m2 stand, Citroën is unveiling an entirely renewed range, modern and consistent. A product offensive which becomes a success. In the first half of 2018, the brand achieved a growth of 9% in the world. In Europe, the brand recorded its highest level of sales for seven years and won market share in both passenger and commercial vehicles. A performance driven by the success of recent launches: C3, new #c4cactus, C3 Aircross #SUV in Europe and #c5aircross #SUV in China.

This dynamic has been supported by the comprehensive enhancement of the brand, inspired by its customers and their #automotive experience, which is expressed at the Paris Motor Show by :
