最近推特上曝光了雪铁龙C5 Aircross设计草图，该车将在下月开幕的上海车展发布。从图片看，该车外观设计类似车厂2015年发布的Aircross概念车。与Aircross概念车相比，该车除了前保险杠和侧后视镜略有不同外，其余部分都与概念车非常接近。这辆五门掀背车采用向后开启车门，整体造型方正饱满，整体设计非常前卫、时尚。而分体式大灯以及夸张的线条都与概念车一脉相承。该车采用22英寸轮圈并搭载插电混动系统，综合功率313马力。雪铁龙表示，车厂将利用该车设计展示未来新车设计方向。雪铁龙先前的C5轿车外观设计保守，导致市场销量不佳，车厂希望利用新款C5 Aircross前卫的造型赢得市场。该车将于明年在欧洲上市。

 

Citroen C5 Aircross sketches suggest bold styling for Shanghai reveal

Citroen is a manufacturer we can always count on for some interesting stylistic choices. If the C5 Aircross photos teased on Twitter by Citroen CEO Linda Jackson are any indication, the manufacturer’s forthcoming compact crossover should be, well, interesting.

 

According to Autocar, the production form of the new C5 Aircross will debut next month at the Shanghai Auto Show. If the renderings are indeed true-to-form, the Aircross borrows heavily from the Aircross Concept that did the auto show circuit back in 2015.

 

In any case, aside from some very minor differences in the front bumper and side mirrors, the teaser sketches look pretty much spot on with the Aircross Concept. To refresh your memory, that was a five-door hatch with rear suicide doors, sized to notch above the Cactus in Citroen’s lineup. It rode on 22-inch wheels and featured a plug-in electric hybrid powertrain that produced a total of 313 horsepower, so whatever you might say about the styling, it certainly had guts.

 

When the concept was on tour, Citroen mentioned it was a look into the future of new models and designs for the manufacturer. Considering the previous C5 was a conservatively styled sedan that was dropped due to positively abysmal sales, going bold with the new C5 Aircross might actually be a big win for Citroen.

 

The new C5 Aircross will take its place in European markets with deliveries beginning in 2018.
