The nameplate was previously used on the Citroën C5. Dubbed the C5 X, the "X" meaning crossover, it is styled as a station wagon, with increased ground clearance. It is a large crossover SUV, for buyers who want a sport utility vehicle, or a wagon. The vehicle is intended to be a combination of an SUV, sedan and estate.[6] It is available as a plug-in hybrid with shared technology from the Peugeot 508. The C5 X is marketed as the Dongfeng Citroën Versailles C5 X in China, resurrecting the Versailles name once used for the Ford Versailles.[7]
The C5 X follows the design of the 2016 CXperience concept. The C5 X is approximately 50 mm shorter, about 13 mm taller, and about 130 mm less wide than the CXperience.[8] The C5 X PHEV comes in 4 driving modes, Electric, Hybrid, Comfort and Sport, with 39 miles (63 km) of fully electric driving. The C5 X is based on the EMP2 V3, shared with the similar Peugeot 408.[citation needed]
The crossover has a choice of 2 petrol, models and 1 PHEV option. The PHEV being the most powerful, it has a battery capacity of 12.4 kWh (45 MJ).
