New Citroen C5 Teased, Debuts April 12th

Citroen has released the first teaser video of the redesigned C5.

Set to debut on April 12th, the C5 will be a segment bender that blurs the line between crossovers, wagons and hatchbacks.

That being said, the model promises to be interesting and it will feature a prominent grille that flows into LED lighting units. We can also see a sculpted hood and pronounced fenders.

Continuing further back, the model has curvaceous bodywork and a thick rear pillar. The C5 also sports 3D taillights and a prominent rear spoiler. There will also be an angular rear window and upright rear end.

Citroen didn’t say much about the model, but it’s expected to ride on the EMP2 platform which also underpins the Peugeot 508. Engine options could be shared between the two models and this means there could be an assortment of different powertrains.

In the 508, there are 1.5- and 2.0-liter diesels producing between 129 hp (96 kW / 131 PS) and 175 hp (130 kW / 177 PS). Customers can also get a 1.6-liter PureTech petrol that has outputs of 179 hp (133 kW / 181 PS) and 221 hp (165 kW / 224 PS).

The model is also available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, an electric motor and an 11.8 kWh battery pack. This gives the 508 a combined output of 222 hp (165 kW / 225 PS) and an electric-only range of up to 33 miles (54 km).
