Smartphone mirroring and a 10in digital display are equipped as standard, and drivers can use the ‘Hello Citroën’ voice control function to control various in-car functions – with AI support from ChatGPT.
A head-up display – 30% larger than that of its predecessor – is available as an option.
Meanwhile, the ‘Advanced Comfort’ seats have been upgraded to give “a level of comfort never seen” in the C5 Aircross, with thick lower padding on the backrest and bolster and an upper portion that “wraps around passengers’ shoulders like a shawl”. The side bolsters are now electrically adjustable too.
In the back, passengers are said to have 51mm more knee room and 68mm of head room than before, plus extra adjustability courtesy of a backrest that can be reclined between 21deg and 33deg – “adding to the sensation of travelling in comfort class”.
Rear passengers can also make use of a pair of cupholders in the centre console, together with a pair of USB-C charging ports.
The increase in footprint also makes for a much bigger boot: there’s now 651 litres of load space behind the back seats, almost 150 litres more than in the Nissan Qashqai, rising to 1668 litres with them folded.
