Citroen Aircross concept at Auto Shanghai 2015
Production model to slot above C4 Cactus
Citroën has brought to this year's Auto Shanghai show
the Aircross
concept unveiled online about two weeks ago.
The French used the C4 Cactus recipe when designing their
latest concept which likely serves as a preview for a future model slotting
above the plant-named crossover. It is 4.58 meters long, 2.1 meters wide and
1.8 meters tall and rides on a set of oversized 22-inch alloy wheels as you
would expect to see on such an outlandish concept.
PSA decided to install a plug-in hybrid arrangement for the
Aircross which combines a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with an
electric motor mounted at the back. The combustion engine delivers 218 PS (160
kW) and 275 Nm (203 lb-ft) of torque while the electric motor produces an
additional 95 PS (70 kW) and 200 Nm (148 lb-ft). It's enough hybrid power to
allow the vehicle run the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in four and a half
seconds.
Charging the lithium-ion battery pack takes three and a half
hours from a domestic socket and offers enough juice for an electric range of
31 miles (50 km). When used as a hybrid, the Aircross has an amazing fuel
consumption of just 1.7 liters / 100 km (138.2 mpg US or 166 mpg UK) and 39
g/km of CO2 emissions.More Photos
