Citroën, a well-known French automaker, has introduced two new trim levels—Outdoor and Émeraude—to give its vehicles more distinct character and appeal. The Outdoor trim was unveiled on September 22, 2026, and is available on three models: the Ami, C3, and C3 Aircross. This trim includes a unique SequoiaGreen exterior color, red accents on the bumpers and grille logo, new bumpers, wheels, and interior features such as red safety belts, a steering wheel with a red logo, and new foam-trimmed dashboards. A special "Outdoor" engraving facing the passenger adds a unique touch. For the Ami, the Outdoor version includes a khaki green color, specific wheel trims, and a fabric convertible roof, which is the first time this feature has been offered on a closed-body Ami.
The Émeraude series is available on the ë-C5 Aircross and introduces a new Emerald Blue exterior color, along with subtle exterior details and a brighter interior ambiance. The interior is enhanced with blue inserts that match the exterior color. This trim includes dedicated floor mats, specific seating on the Advanced Comfort seats, and an expanded equipment package. Features such as heated steering wheel and front seats (with electric adjustment for the driver), hands-free power tailgate, induction charging, an armrest on the second row, and the semi-autonomous driving pack Drive Assist 2.0 (which includes blind spot monitoring and rear traffic alert) are included in the package.
These new trim levels are part of Citroën's broader strategy to shift its brand image from one focused primarily on affordability to one that positions the company as more than just a French counterpart to Dacia, a Romanian automaker known for budget-friendly vehicles. The Outdoor trim is aimed at buyers looking for a more stylish and rugged appearance, while the Émeraude series pays homage to Breton culture, featuring a discreet French flag on the rear cover. Both trim levels are being showcased at the Paris Motor Show, which runs from October 13 to 18, 2026. This event is one of the most important automotive exhibitions in Europe, where manufacturers unveil new models and technologies to the public.
