The Citroën C5 Aircross has built a reputation in India as a stylish, comfort-focused premium SUV. With the 2025 update, Citroën is expected to refine the C5 with bolder styling, updated interiors, and hybrid powertrains, making it a strong competitor to Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, and Volkswagen Tiguan.
