- Will sport revised front fascia

- To get new 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system and ventilated front seats

Citroen India will launch the updated C5 Aircross in the country by September 2022. Introduced globally earlier this year, the India-bound C5 Aircross has received cosmetic updates and an extended feature list. The C5 Aircross was the first model to be launched by the carmaker in India in April 2021.

Tweaked exterior styling

The changes to the 2022 C5 Aircross’ exterior will include a revised front fascia. The split headlamp setup will make way for a single cluster with integrated dual horizontal LED DRLs. The front bumpers, too, will be reworked with wider air inlets along with a silver faux plate at the bottom.

Besides this, the SUV will get a new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels and new tail lamp graphics with smoke finish. We could also expect newer colour options for the 2022 Aircross.

Revamped cabin

The biggest change inside the Aircross’ cabin will be the new and bigger 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system atop the dashboard. The centre aircon vents that were earlier positioned to the sides of the system will now be placed horizontally while the controls for the HVAC system remain unaltered.

Further, the centre console with the conventional gear stalk is replaced by a toggle switch with a new drive mode selection button. Other inclusions are the support for a wireless charger, more USB ports, and heated/cooled seats with increased cushion foam.

Single powertrain option

While the globally sold Citroen C5 Aircross is available with multiple engine options, the India-bound Aircross is likely to continue with the current 2.0-litre diesel engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The new C5 Aircross will continue to rival the likes of Volkswagen Tiguan, Hyundai Tucson, and Jeep Compass.
