2022 Citroen C5 Aircross Facelift – What’s New?
This facelift update offers several visual enhancements inside and out, as well as minor changes to its features list.
For starters, the 2022 Citroen C5 Aircross receives a sharper & more premium-looking gloss black grille with the brand’s double chevron logo in the center. It also receives new LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, a tweaked bumper with a wider air dam, and a silver-colored skid plate. Things are largely untouched on the side and rear, except for the new 18-inch alloy wheels and updated elements for the LED taillights.
The facelifted SUV also gains a fresh Eclipse Blue color scheme, replacing the older Tijuca shade. Other color options for the C5 Aircross include Pearl White, Pearl Nera Black, and Cumulus Grey. All colors, except for the Peal Nera Black, can also be had with a black roof & ORVMs, and that too without any added cost.
