雪铁龙C5国产版本下一代车型趣图近日曝光，该车将在4月开幕的上海车展发布。这款车看起来就像是现行版C5的改款车型而非新一代车型。不过，从先前拍到的谍照看，它的车头进行了重新设计，采用了新的前大灯，格栅，保险杠和新的前脸。更重要的变化是在车内，设计者采用了全新改款仪表板及新的数字仪表群和平板显示屏。整个布局与国内上市的C6旗舰级车型一样。至于动力系统，预计新车将搭载1.6升涡轮引擎，功率124千瓦/167马力，1.8升涡轮引擎，功率152千瓦/204马力，扭矩280牛米。这两台引擎都只搭配六速自动变速器和前轮驱动。

 

New Citroen C5 teased for China

Citroen’s model invasion in China will continue with the launch of the next generation C5. The model is no longer available in most of the European countries due to slow sales, but is still on sale in the People’s Republic. The French company is ready to give the current C5 a well-deserved retirement with a brand new model, set to be fully unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show in April.

 

The car looks like a facelift for the current C5 rather than a brand new generation. However, spy photos have revealed the front end of the car will be completely redesigned, featuring new headlights, grilles, and bumper, and giving it a fresh new face.

 

More important changes have occurred inside, where the French engineers have installed a fully reshaped dashboard with new digital instrument cluster and a tablet-style center display. The layout resembles the cabin of the company’s flagship model in China, the C6, which is already on sale in the country.

 

Preliminary details suggest the new C5 will be powered by the same range of engines, used in the current generation of the model in China. This means customers will be able to choose from a 1.6-liter turbo gasoline unit with 167 horsepower (124 kilowatts) and a bigger 1.8 turbo unit with 204 hp (152 kW) and 207 pound-feet (280 Newton meters) of torque. Both motors will be paired exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the front wheels.
