The CITRO\u00cbN Aircross concept car successfully builds on the achievements of the C4 Cactus with:<\/p>\n

– A SINGULAR ATTITUDE: Blending power and positive energy, CITRO\u00cbN Aircross is a protective and welcoming SUV. The resolutely optimistic vehicle casts off any sense of aggression in favor of:<\/p>\n

A singular, pure and optimistic personality, through the overall balance of the body styling, with a horizontal emphasis and underscored by flowing and organic forms punctuated by strong graphic components including \u201cAlloy Bumps\u201d and \u201cAir Signs\u201d. The global result is heightened by orange-red body paint symbolizing energy and serenity and innovative materials denoting robustness;<\/p>\n

\"CL_15.028.002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A styling approach emphasizing functionality and aerodynamics.<\/p>\n

– An INVITATION TO TRAVEL in a cabin bringing an immediate sense of consummate comfort and the generation of energy. Everything inside CITRO\u00cbN Aircross was designed to foster physical and mental well-being. In addition to the physical comfort provided by the broad and generous seats, well-being is further heightened by warm materials and a blend of light and invigorating colors. The purely-drawn lines with their crosswise emphasis suggest space, while the ample geometric shapes structure the uncluttered interior, each one combining aesthetics with functionality. CITRO\u00cbN Aircross posits a new take on the travel theme with specially designed storage compartments and the use of straps in a fresh and contemporary cabin inviting passengers to take to the road together and in their own style.<\/p>\n

\"CL_15.028.014\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– TECHNOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE harnessed for practicality, with occupants able to choose between sharing and an individual experience. The concept car is equipped with two 12-inch HD screens, one of which is mobile and can be passed from one passenger to another. Each seat is equipped with speakers and microphones to encourage dialogue between passengers. Technological intelligence is also expressed in the choice of a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, combining efficiency and top-level performance. CITRO\u00cbN Aircross features meaningful technologies for relaxed mobility and a new travelling experience.<\/p>\n

\"CL_15.028.018\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The CITRO\u00cbN Aircross concept car will be unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show, a symbolic choice of venue given the importance of the Chinese market for CITRO\u00cbN, accounting as it does for 25% of total sales and standing as the Brand\u2019s number-one market.<\/p>\n
