We've organized this article into specific sections for easier navigation. Click the links below to jump to different areas or read on for the full article. Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The Citroën ë-C5 Aircross Long Range offers modest performance with a maximum power of 170 kW (231 hp / 228 bhp) and a total torque of 343 Nm (253 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 8.8 seconds and has a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph), aligning more closely with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 100.7 kWh and a net usable capacity of 96.9 kWh, providing a 3.8 kWh buffer (3.8%) for battery protection.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 681 to 672 km (423-418 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 14.2 kWh/100 km for the base model and 14.4 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 160 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 110 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 55 minutes with an average charging speed of 74 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 6% to 55%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 75 kW, with each charging session taking about 38 minutes and 11 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 7 minutes, needing three charging stops from 7% to 53%, totaling 108 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 8 hours and 48 minutes with a standard home setup.

Regenerative Braking
