More about the Citroen C5 Aircross
The designers at Citroen have worked hard to evolve the existing design of the C5, and the new vehicle boasts a more imposing style and greater elegance on the road. The styling of its front end has had a facelift to elevate the vehicle further and the design of the vehicle has adopted a more assertive and dynamic style.
New Citroen C5 Aircross offers the latest generation driving assistance and connectivity technologies. The driving assistance technologies included in the new Citroen C5 include Keyless entry and start, active safety brake, trailer stability control and many more. The innovative technology that can be found in this vehicle transforms your towing journeys into a positive and reassuring experience.
The new Citroen C5 is available in a plug-in hybrid, petrol, or diesel model. The hybrid model offers optimal performance thanks to its 81kW electric motor which combines with its PureTech 180 petrol engine to give a cumulative power output of 225 hp. It offers the smooth, quiet experience of a fully electric drive, allowing the petrol to step in for those longer journeys.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The Citroen C5 Aircross’ towing capacity usually sits between 1,250kg and 1,450kg. The best way to receive an accurate towing capacity for your vehicle is by checking your vin plate. This is usually located under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill. Our sales team will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.
Which Towbar is best for my C5 Aircross?
The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.
The fixed swan neck towbar has a thinner towbar neck to the fixed flange towbar and therefore is less likely to be detected by parking sensors; however, this is not guaranteed. This is a great option for those who prefer a sleeker-looking towbar but do not want to remove it after towing is completed. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and can be used with all cycle carriers that clamp on to the towball.
The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.
Will it need a bumper cut?
To install a Towbar to a Citroen C5 Aircross, our engineer will need to make a small cut on the undertray of the vehicle. This cannot be seen unless you are looking up at the vehicle from ground level but is essential to allow the appropriate clearance for the Towbar neck.
