| This (real spy) photo of the Xantia (and XM) succesor
"proofs" it. The Xantia succesor will be called "C5". Obviously
Citroën wants to make a new start by introducing new model names (C2 to C6 for the
complete range). Unfortuneatly Citroëns new start doesn't seem to mean that we get exciting different looking cars like the DS and SM. The C5 has a smooth shape, very much unlike its predecessors Xantia and XM. It shows a sort of family resemblance with the Xsara Picasso (soon to be called C4 Picasso ?) though. The inner values of the C5 promise to be more exciting. Almost any feature you can think of for a modern car seems to be available on the C5: Direct injection petrol engines, state of the art hydraulic suspension (Hydractive III), Dynalto system (starter motor and alternator integrated in the engine flywheel), satelite navigation system (GPS), side and window airbags, key-less locks (like MB S-class), ESP, radar distance sensors, voice control for radio, telephone and GPS, etc. etc. |
