All New Citroen C5 Coming In 2020, Says Company’s Boss

Citroen will introduce an all-new, third-generation C5 sedan in 2020, according to the company’s CEO Linda Jackson.
Citroen has axed the previous C5 in Europe last June, with Linda Jackson confirming a successor to AutoNews during the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Jackson said that spinning off DS as a standalone premium brand back in 2014 created some gaps in Citroen’s range, gaps that are now going to filled following PSA Group’s recent plan for eight different body variations in passenger and light commercial vehicles.
"Due to the separation of DS, some fairly small gaps in our portfolio emerged," the CEO said, adding that these gaps were soon filled.
Last April, Citroen revealed a new compact SUV at the Shanghai Auto Show called the C5 Aircross, which is coming to Europe in late 2018. The C5 Aircross will be the first model to use Citroen’s newest suspension system, which features a hydraulic stop for the first time and replaces the old, more complex and heavy hydropneumatic suspension.
The new C5 and the unconfirmed yet C6 are expected to also use this new suspension, with Jackson pointing out that only Citroen models will get this feature within the PSA Group, ruling out its use on Opel cars as well. Jackson also added that the recent acquisition of Opel/Vauxhall would have no effect on Citroen’s future model strategy.
