At this year's Paris Motor Show (October 1-16, 2016), in addition to the new generation of the C3 model, Citroën will also show the Citroën Cxperience concept vehicle, which announces the future design guidelines of this French brand. It is a sedan 4.85 meters long without a B-pillar (which creates a feeling of more spaciousness inside), with which they want to fill the gap in the class of larger vehicles, which is now filled with the C5 model, which is already ripe for replacement, and the DS5 model . Is Citroën resurrecting the CX?
Citroën Cxperience it is hybrid concept vehicle, which the French will present at the Paris Motor Show and announces new design lines, which will adorn future larger Citroën cars. It measures 4.85 meters in length and two meters in width, but it is of shorter stature, as it only reaches 1.37 meters. Thanks to the three-meter wheelbase and short overhangs, it performs very impressively, if we add doors with opposite and vertical opening and 22-inch wheels (diameter 56 centimeters), and our observation is true.
With this concept, Citroën put design and technology in the foreground. In the front bumpers, there are controlled air intakes on the sides movable flaps, the last one spoiler and ensures better aerodynamics of the hybrid. Like the front, so are the rear V-shaped lights.

The interior of the Citroën Cxperience is futuristic-minimalist, yellow upholstered and with accessories walnut wood. The central part is otherwise a dashboard with a floating 19-inch screen (allowing it to be divided into two windows in different proportions or fully unfolded), and the rear passengers manage things via a tablet.
Citroën has never disappointed with its suspension and will continue to do so in the future. He will take care of the above standard of driving comfort advanced suspension module with progressive hydraulic sway limiters. Engineers equipped it with a plug-in hybrid drive motor. The internal combustion engine develops between 110 and 147 kW, the electric brother in charge of the rear pair of wheels, however 80 kW. The maximum total power of the gasoline-electric hybrid assembly is 223 or 300 hp.
In the city, it can drive only on electricity (up to 60 km ti Zero Emission Vehicle – ZEV), and at higher speeds the gasoline engine takes the initiative. It transmits power to the wheels 8-speed automatic transmission. You have probably noticed that the rear view mirrors are not what we are used to. That's because Citroën also rode the trend with cameras instead of mirrors. The two cameras provide a complete view around the vehicle (they send the image to the screen on the inside of the front door). Citroën says that the Citroën Cxperience concept does not represent any future production model, but the design could be carried over to larger models.
