Imagine starting every day knowing the school run, the shops and the commute can be done in near-silence, with zero local emissions and almost no fuel used. That’s exactly what the Citroën C5 Aircross 1.6 Shine Plus Plug-In Hybrid delivers. With a 13.2 kWh battery giving an official electric range of up to around 40 miles, most everyday family journeys can be completed entirely on electric power. Charge it overnight on a home wallbox (around two hours) and you’ll wake up ready to glide through traffic without burning a drop of petrol. When you do need to go further, the smooth 225 hp hybrid system takes over seamlessly, giving you the freedom of a normal car with the running costs of an EV for daily use. Built for Real Family Life This is no cramped crossover. The C5 Aircross is properly practical: • Three independent, sliding and reclining rear seats so every passenger gets their own space • A generous boot (up to 600 litres with seats in their most compact position) that easily swallows buggies, sports kits, shopping and weekend bags • Citroën’s famous Advanced Comfort suspension with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions – it soaks up potholes and broken roads better than almost anything in the class, keeping the kids (and you) relaxed • Dual-zone climate control, plenty of USB points and a calm, well-finished cabin Shine Plus Means Proper Kit You get the higher Shine Plus specification, which includes Advanced Comfort seats, keyless entry and start, LED headlights, a digital instrument cluster, navigation with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, adaptive cruise control with stop & go, parking sensors and a reversing camera. It feels premium without the premium price. Low company car tax, low running costs, high comfort and genuine electric capability for daily driving – this is one of the most sensible family SUVs you can buy right now. Whether you’re after an efficient daily driver that still works for longer trips, or simply the most comfortable car in its class, the C5 Aircross Shine Plus Plug-In Hybrid stands out. Electric for the school run, petrol when you need it,
