Concept model

The second-generation C5 Aircross concept was unveiled on 14 October 2024 at the 2024 Paris Motor Show.

Production model

The second-generation C5 Aircross was unveiled on 29 April 2025, with pre-orders opened in June 2025 and deliveries set to commenced in the final quarter of 2025. The second-generation model is the fifth vehicle to be based on the Stellantis' SLTA Medium platform, shared with the Jeep Compass, Opel Grandland and Peugeot 3008/5008. Like the previous generation, the second-generation model continued to be produced at the Rennes Plant in Rennes, France.

Design

The exterior of the production model largely identical to the C5 Aircross Concept previewed at the 2024 Paris Motor Show and the design team, was led by Pierre Leclercq.

Interior

The interior of the C5 Aircross was designed to be a 'C-Zen Lounge' inside, where "occupants are seated as if in a living room". The dashboard has been designed with influence from traditional living room furniture, with distinctive foam fabric padding reminiscent of a sofa and available in light or dark colours.

Powertrains

Like the previous model, the C5 Aircross comes standard with the Advanced Comfort suspension with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions with two progressive cushions placed on each front shock absorber, which absorbs imperfections on the road and provide a "magic carpet" driving feel.
