To jog your memory, the C5 Aircross is a premium mid-size SUV that was launched in April this year. It is based on Citroen's EMP2 platform and comes equipped with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions that are specially designed to curb the suspension’s responses to big compressions, thus, decreasing the “jolting” effect over the speed bumps. It also offers well-cushioned seats all around (combine high-density foam), with the highlight being the three rear seats that come with their own forward/backward sliding and a recline mechanism.
