Following the debut of the Citroen C5 Aircross, four new vehicles are scheduled to be launched in the upcoming years. The second Indian-spec product is a sub-four-meter SUV which will challenge the likes of Maruti Brezza and Hyundai Venue.

Citroen C5 Aircross sits on the EMP2 platform. Moreover, it will come with a Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension which is claimed to offer a great comfort for car users. Under the hood, it will employ either a PureTech turbo petrol or a BlueHDi diesel motor. Two transmission options will be on offer including a six-speed manual and an automatic gearbox.

To prepare for its debut in the Indian market, Citroen got together with the CK Birla Group in 2017 to establish two joint ventures for vehicle and powertrain production with a total investment of over 100 million Euros. Last year, the French car maker went into operation with a production capacity of 2 lakh BS-VI powertrain and 3 lakh transmission units.
