Citroen C5 Aircross Plug-In Hybrid To Debut In Brussels At £35,340

Plug-in SUV will manage 31 miles on a single charge.

The new plug-in hybrid version of Citroen’s C5 Aircross SUV will debut at the upcoming Brussels Motor Show, the French manufacturer has confirmed.

Powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol engine and an electric motor, the family SUV will manage 31 miles of zero-emission electric motoring before the petrol engine has to take over. Together, the two motors will produce a maximum power output of 222 bhp.

Officially, the newcomer will emit carbon dioxide at a rate of 39 grams per kilometer and manage 166 mpg. However, this impressive figure is a weighted average and achieving it will depend on how the vehicle is used and charged.
