This time, Citroën will obviously attack the sports utility vehicle market with its own know-how, as it did not rely on external "contractors" for the production of the Aircross. The concept sports utility vehicle, which impresses with its innovative exterior, has borrowed some "moves" from the C4 Cactus, and the interior, albeit minimalist, but technologically, is from another world. However, it is a hybrid vehicle that can drive up to 50 kilometers on electricity alone.
Concept medium size SUV Citroën Aircross, a design bold angle C4 Cactus, radiates a very special energy. Not only the red color, but also the colorful cabin announces that a new wind will blow in the world of SUVs. But Aircross is not just a form, it is also a useful force. In terms of landfills and technological intelligence. But we're going in order. 4.58 meters long, the 2.1 m wide and 1.8 m high body is held above the ground by 22-inch "cube" tires (275/45 R 22), who don't seem to lay down their weapons in front of any terrain.
Although the Aircross and the C4 Cactus are fundamentally different worlds, they are united by special coverings on the sides, except that instead of rubber ones ("airbump": protection against impacts), the Aircross came up with aluminum "air" pockets ("alloy bump": protection against collisions made of aluminum foam rubber) and added air intakes for better aerodynamics. In addition to the cladding, the front and rear bumpers also stand out, while the rear is even more attractive lights with 3D effect.

Inside we find a couple 12-inch and compatible screens one of which is portable (becomes a tablet). The seats are comfortable, "scattered" and each equipped with its own speaker and microphone, because Citroën considers communication between passengers as one of the building blocks of driving. We use a gearbox via the rotary knob, and the pillars (door frame) are richer for a pair of internet cameras, so that we can capture every bit of the route and share it with others while driving.
And if we move further under the hood. He takes care of the drive "hybrid plug-in" technology, which is powered by a 1.6 THP gasoline engine with 160 kW and 275 Nm of torque. The rear-mounted plug-in hybrid powertrain has a 70 kW electric motor with 200 Nm of torque. It powers it lithium-ion battery, which can be kept "the" home-style way electrical sockets (16 A) and is "full as a drum" after three and a half hours. Together, Citroën Aircross can 313 horsepower (230 kW), and accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.
