Citroën’s next-gen C5 Aircross has officially entered its final testing phase before debuting worldwide. Spotted in full camo, this SUV promises a bolder, more refined presence, carrying forward the concept model’s essence into its 2025 production-ready form—including plans for India-bound launch.
Citroën Aircross 2025 Spy Shots & Design Evolution
The camouflaged prototype hints at a close resemblance to the Paris Motorshow concept but with practical tweaks: conventional door handles, larger mirror housings, and sturdier pillar construction.
The model sports slim LED headlights, subtly futuristic taillamps, and boxy wheel arches—creating a simple yet refined look. At approximately 4.65 meters long, it boasts a sleek yet muscular road stance.
Inside, early visuals suggest a digital cockpit layout, staying true to Citroën’s trademark “cocoon-like” cabin experience.
Underpinnings & Powertrain Options
The next-gen model is built on Stellantis’s STLA Medium platform, shared with vehicles like the Peugeot 3008/5008 and Opel Grandland.
It supports diverse powertrain configurations—ICE, mild-hybrid (including a 1.2L turbo with a 48V mild hybrid), full electric, and possibly plug-in hybrid in select markets.
What’s New for India
According to CarWale, the updated Aircross was recently sighted testing in India—specifically Chennai—with minimal camouflage, indicating only minor cosmetic updates.
Notable additions include projector headlamps, blacked-out mirrors and roof rails, and dual-tone alloy wheels. Inside improvements are expected: brown upholstery replacing cream, ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, and a digital instrument cluster.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 C5 Aircross is shaping up to be a polished, tech-forward SUV, blending Citroën’s lounge-inspired comfort with modern design and versatile drivetrain choices.
Whether in global markets or India, this model could elevate Citroën’s appeal—offering spaciousness, innovation, and forward-looking styling without losing character.
