NEW CITROËN C5
APPEAL, PERFORMANCE, STATUS AND QUALITY
Summary
With
the new CS, Citroën establishes a strong position
in the mid-high range
vehicle segment, where the key qualities are
appeal, performance,
status and quality.
The new CS combines a strong
personality, with dynamic performance, status and
quality.
Respecting
the design cues of this segment, Citroën has
developed two cars: a
saloon whose flowing lines express style and
status and a dynamic
looking estate that places the emphasis on emotion
without forgetting
functional convenience.
With the new CS,
Citroën satisfies the requirements of executive
vehicle buyers in terms
of quality and reliability by setting new
standards in development,
design and industrial production.
· Elegant
thoroughbred styling
As
a saloon or estate, the new C5 stands apart for its
distinguished
styling and elegant personality. Its dynamic lines and
clearly marked
waistline give it real on-road presence. Inside the
car, a well
designed cabin and premium materials contribute to on
-board comfort.
Passengers benefit from a prestige design that makes
this new road car
a vehicle of refinement and distinction.
· Remarkable
dynamic qualities
On
the road, the driver enjoys exceptional driving
sensations, and the
passengers are lapped in comfort. To achieve this, the
new C5 offers a
choice between two types of suspension: Hydractive 3
Plus suspension or
metallic suspension. Both are based on the running
gear of the C6
executive saloon.
The Hydractive 3 Plus suspension is
aimed at customers keen to take advantage of the
Marque's latest
developments in technology, comfort and safety.
The
metallic suspension is a particularly competitive
option. It provides a
more direct feel while maintaining the comfort
specific to Citroën.
These
dynamic qualities are combined with a range of three
petrol engines and
four HDi diesel engines, as well as a full choice of
gearboxes.
· Exemplary driving
pleasure
Driving
pleasure takes on a whole new dimension with the new
C5. The driving
position, which resembles a cockpit, is fully focused
on the driver,
and features a second-generation fixed-centred
controls steering wheel.
Clear, concise driving information is displayed on
three dials with
annular needles, inspired by the aviation world.
Well designed acoustics enable the driver to give the
road his/her full attention.
·
Uncompromising on safety
The
vehicle meets the highest standards in both active and
passive safety
with ESP as standard, a stiff body structure and nine
airbags (seven
standard and two optional).
· Produced in an
ISO 9001 and 14001 certified plant
The
Rennes ISO 9001 certified centre has long experience
in producing
executive vehicles, particularly with the launch of
the C6 which is now
attaining remarkable levels of quality. This site has
made a strong
commitment to sustainable development and the
environment, and also
holds ]SO 14001 certification.
