Citroen C5 Aircross SUV India Launch Officially Confirmed

An official press conference has confirmed that the Citroen C5 Aircross will be the first product from the French car brand. The first event from the brand also confirmed the entry period as September 2020. The report regarding C5 Aircross ignited the hopes across the car fans of India and their official confirmation marks the re-entry of PSA Group into the country. The car first entered the global scene through Shanghai Motor Show in 2017 and its perfect placement against the premium sub-INR 25 lakh SUVs made it practical for the market. However, the five-seat layout of the car makes it a direct rival of Jeep Compass and Hyundai Tucson.
