Citroën postpones the future C5 launch

- Citroën should launch the third generation of the C5 in 2016 and not in 2014 as originally planned. This report is directly related to the PSA-GM agreement on future common platforms.


- Within the scope of the partnership between PSA Peugeot Citroën and General Motors, the next C5, Peugeot 508 and Opel Insignia should indeed be based on similar technical modules, which motivated the postponement.


- In 2014, Citroën will launch the DS-X crossover, whose size is similar to the Audi Q5’s or BMW X3’s. Primarily designed for the Chinese market, the DS-X will also be commercialised in Europe. It could be assembled in the Sochaux PSA Peugeot Citroën plant, on the same line as the Peugeot 3008 and Citroën DS5 and also be available in a Hybrid4 version.
