Citroen is known for taking risks. Controversial styling comes naturally to it, with everything from the mid-to-late 20th-century 2CV to bubble cars, weird wedge-shaped concepts, and many more over the decades.

There's a significant step forward with this latest new car, albeit hardly ground breaking nowadays: Citroen has put an electric motor in one of its existing models.

There is a catch, albeit a welcome one: the C5 Aircross has been relaunched. It has provided a much-needed makeover for an SUV crossover that, after eight years, was showing its age, both inside and out.

Along with the brand-new second-generation model, an all-electric version has also been introduced: the e-C5 Aircross. Citroen is no stranger to electric cars now, having already launched the e-C3, e-C4 and e-C4 X, as well as ‘e’ versions of several vans. In fact, part of Citroen’s wackiness was its pioneering attempts at making electric cars in the 1990s, notably the AX Electrique and the C-Zero – and, more recently, the tiny Ami quadricycle.

As for the e-C5 Aircross, that’s about as normal as the French manufacturer gets. It’s the first Citroen built on parent company Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform, which Peugeot's e-3008, e-5008, and Vauxhall Grandland also share.

We’ve tested one to find out if it’s any good.
