The 2025 C5 Aircross goes electric with a 582 km range, but supply issues and grant eligibility may affect its appeal for families.
C5 Aircross gets bigger and electric
The C5 Aircross, which has been updated for 2025, is now 4.65 meters long and is now an electric vehicle. It starts at 40,990 euros, while the 3008 model begins at a higher price of 45,090 euros.Purchase assistance and discounts available
The electric C5 Aircross comes with a purchase assistance of 2,500 euros. Discounts can be found through the configurator, with the base version displayed at 38,380 euros, which is a discount of 2,610 euros. Combining this with the purchase assistance can be achieved through good negotiation and by comparing with competitors.Performance and charging details
The standard version of the C5 Aircross includes a 210 horsepower motor and a 73 kWh battery, offering a mixed cycle range of 582 km. It also features a DC 160 kW charging capability. A 230 horsepower long-range version with a 680 km range is available, but it has limited availability due to a shortage of batteries.Limited availability and lower incentives
The long-range version of the C5 Aircross is less generous in terms of incentives, with no purchase assistance and only a store promotion discount of 1,800 euros, bringing the price to 45,190 euros. This version is currently in short supply due to the battery shortage.CEE grants get updated for drivers

The grants are available for households in the first three income deciles, with a maximum assistance of nearly 7,000 euros. For households in the fourth and fifth deciles, the assistance is 6,100 euros. Households in the sixth and seventh deciles can also qualify for 6,100 euros if they are classified as long-distance drivers, defined as those driving at least 12,000 km per year.Long-distance drivers get more help
