One Day, One Car: The Citroën ë-C5 Aircross Aims for 680 km Range
The Citroën ë-C5 Aircross represents an evolution of the brand’s family SUV. Built on the STLA Medium platform, it offers up to 680 km of WLTP range, two different power outputs, and fast charging at 160 kW. Here’s an overview before you place an order.
A bold design
The ë-C5 Aircross moves on from the rounded lines of the first generation. This SUV features a more assertive appearance. Its low, vertical hood incorporates a three-point lighting signature inspired by the Oli concept car. The front end lacks a grille, displaying instead a retro logo on a minimalist surface.
The silhouette becomes more distinctive. The wheel arches feature pronounced edges. The glass surfaces follow straighter lines, and the D-pillar changes design. The dimensions increase significantly: 4,652 mm in length (+150 mm), 2,108 mm in width including mirrors, and 1,691 mm in height.
The model is equipped with 19-inch diamond-patterned alloy wheels. The Max trim gets 20-inch wheels.

A cabin designed like a lounge
The cockpit emphasizes geometric lines. The head-up display spans the windshield. The 13-inch central screen uses a cascading layout, the first of its kind in the Stellantis group. A 10-inch digital dashboard completes the setup behind the steering wheel.
The wheelbase measures 2,784 mm. This longer dimension provides more interior space, directly benefiting comfort. The front seats offer good support and a plush seating surface. In the back, there is more leg and headroom. An open panoramic roof enhances the sense of volume. The rear seat becomes fixed: Citroën made this choice for comfort and trunk space.
The trunk capacity is 651 liters regardless of the engine option. The 40/20/40 split rear seat and reclining backrests add flexibility. With the seats folded down, the capacity increases to 1,985 liters.
Simple and Fast Charging
The ë-C5 Aircross is built on the STLA Medium platform, also used in the DS N°8. Two NMC batteries are available:
The 210 hp Comfort range comes with a 73 kWh battery, offering 520 km of WLTP range.
The 230 ch, Grande Autonomie version features a 97 kWh battery, offering 680 km of WLTP range.
The onboard charger accepts 11 kW of three-phase alternating current. At home, charging from 20% to 80% takes 5 hours or 6.5 hours depending on the battery size. With a 22 kW Wallbox, it takes 2.4 hours or 3.15 hours. In fast charging mode, the peak power reaches 160 kW, allowing the 73 kWh battery to go from 20% to 80% in 30 minutes. The 97 kWh battery achieves this in 27 minutes.
The charging port is located on the left rear side. Two-way V2L charging is available in this 2026 model, turning the car into a portable power source that can supply electricity to a computer, electric bike, or raclette device at camp.
