Citroen India are likely to launch the updated 2022 C5 Aircross facelift in September 2022. The C5 Aircross facelift will arrive after the launch of the C3 hatchback. Citroen revealed the new C5 Aircross facelift in January 2022 with a refreshed design and a tech-laden cabin.

The updated C5 Aircross’ front and rear profiles get a nip and tuck. At the front, the LED headlights are now a lot sharper and get twin-beam LED DRLs. The LED DRLs merge seamlessly with Citroen’s signature grille, which now gets a new pattern. The lower bumper also gets a design overhaul with vertical air dams. At the side, the new C5 Aircross gets a new set of alloy wheels whereas the rear features updated LED tail lights.

The 2022 Citroen C5 Aircross cabin feels a lot fresher than the outgoing model. It now gets a 10-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.3-inch full-color LCD driver display. The AC vents now sit below the touchscreen and ditch the cubicle design. Citroen have replaced conventional buttons on the centre console with capacitive controls. In addition to that, the C5 facelift features an e-toggle gear selector instead of the older gear selector.
