New Citroën C5 Aircross (2025): discover its official prices

Eagerly awaited since its official presentation, the new Citroën C5 Aircross finally reveals its pricing strategy, and it is clear the French brand is making a decisive move. By positioning its flagship family SUV with a particularly aggressive entry-level price, Citroën is not just renewing a key model; it is sending a powerful message to its competitors, most notably its Stellantis cousin, the Peugeot 3008. The objective is clear: to offer a credible alternative focused on outstanding comfort, modern technology, and one of the most compelling price-to-feature ratios on the market.

A clear range and modern, electrified powertrains

For its commercial launch, the new Citroën C5 Aircross is built around three well-established trim levels: You, Plus, and Max. This simple and effective range structure allows it to meet a wide array of customer needs and budgets. From a powertrain perspective, Citroën is immediately focusing on electrification with two options available from the start. The lineup will later be expanded with a 195 hp hybrid and a more powerful 230 hp electric version, confirming the model's strategic shift towards electrification.

Based for the first time on the modern Stellantis STLA platform, the C5 Aircross promises top-tier efficiency. The official launch prices are as follows:

• Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 (48V technology)

  • You trim: €34,990

  • Plus trim: €37,990

  • Max trim: €40,990

• Electric 210 (73 kWh battery, up to 520 km WLTP range)

  • You trim: €40,290

  • Plus trim: €43,290

  • Max trim: €46,290

This pricing strategy makes the entry-level hybrid version highly attractive, poised to appeal to families seeking a modern and economical SUV.

A surprisingly rich standard equipment list that changes the game

Where the new C5 Aircross truly stands out is in its standard equipment. Right from the entry-level "You" trim, the SUV is packed with features that are often optional on competing vehicles. Every model comes equipped with the spectacular 13-inch HD central touchscreen in a "cascade" format, which instantly modernizes the cabin. Dual-zone automatic climate control, the famous Citroën Advanced Comfort® suspension, and matching Advanced Comfort® seats are also included as standard, along with a rear parking assist system.

With such a generous list of standard features for a starting price of €34,990, the C5 Aircross presents a far more appealing entry point than its direct rivals, such as the Peugeot 3008, which starts at €40,200, or the Renault Austral, which begins at €41,800, albeit with a 200 hp full hybrid engine. This makes Citroën's proposition extremely relevant.

The higher trim levels further enhance the experience:

• The "Plus" trim adds features like connected navigation with the "Citroën" voice assistant powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, front parking sensors, a wireless smartphone charger, and keyless entry and start.

• The "Max" trim tops the range with high-end equipment such as Matrix LED headlights featuring the "Citroën Light Wings" signature, a head-up display, a hands-free power tailgate, the Drive Assist 2.0 pack for advanced semi-autonomous driving, and the VisioPark 360° camera system.

Beyond equipment lists, Citroën is promoting a distinct philosophy on board. The "C-Zen Lounge" concept is fully realized here, featuring a clean dashboard design, high-quality materials, and customizable ambient lighting. Comfort, the brand's core DNA, is paramount—from the optional massaging and ventilated front seats to the class-leading knee room for rear passengers, whose seats are reclinable. The generous boot space, ranging from 565 to 1,668 liters, remains identical regardless of the powertrain, a significant practical advantage.

Without a doubt, Citroën has made a powerful statement with the pricing of its new C5 Aircross. The brand has skillfully positioned its SUV in a strategic space, between the highly anticipated, value-focused Dacia Bigster and the mainstream leaders like Peugeot and Renault, which command much higher prices. By offering an original and polished design, a far more generous and modern standard equipment list than the Bigster is expected to have, and efficient electrified powertrains, Citroën holds a very strong hand. It delivers a remarkable synthesis of bold style, supreme comfort, and generous onboard technology—all for a price that demands serious consideration. Citroën has laid the foundation for what could very well be its next major commercial success.
