Citroën will launch the future C5 in 2020 and the future C4 in 2021
- Citroën has confirmed that the third generation of the C5 will be launched in 2020. The first generation was launched in 2000 (replacing the Xantia) and the second generation in 2008. The production of this second generation has been stopped in Europe in June 2017, and so Citroen will have no D segment sedan for the three years between June 2017 and June 2020. During this time Citroën will sell the SUV C5 Aircross, which could be considered a C5 SUV, notably because of its name. This SUV is expected to be launched in one year, in September 2018.
- The future C5 sedan will share its platform with the future Peugeot 508 sedan which is expected to be launched in 2018. It will be produced on the same site as the future 508 in Mulhouse. On the other hand, in China, the second generation of the C5 will continue its career without major changes.
- Citroën will also stop the manufacture of the C4 in Europe in June 2018, and will not replace this model until 2021. They will therefore have no C segment sedans for the three years between June 2018 and June 2021.
- During that time Citroën will sell the restyled C4 Cactus, which has moved up the product range, but is still based on the C3-PF1 platform. This model should be marketed until 2021, when the future C4 will be launched, replacing both the current C4 and the restyled C4 Cactus. This future C4 will be produced at the Spanish site of Villaverde.
