When the Citroën C5 left the market a couple of years ago, the sedans stockings they seemed to have no place in the French brand. Proof of this is that its commercial space, which is not spiritual, has been occupied all the way compactly C5 AirCross. However, now that things are going better within the PSA Group, his return is closer. That, at least, is what the brand itself has been in charge of announcing on several occasions.
The last event where a person in charge of Citroën has spoken about it, it has been in the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The head of marketing at the double chevron firm, Arnaud Belloni, attended him. Taking advantage of the English appointment, he has made some statements that confirm that in a matter of a couple of years, the French house will once again have new ones in its offer (in plural) sedans.
Citroën believes that there is still room for new saloons
So you're not just talking about the generational relief from the popular C5but there will be more. According to Belloni's words, at Citroën they believe that there is still commercial space for sedans. In this way, he announced that for the Paris Motor Show de 2020 they will have their next sedan ready. However, it will not be the only one, because in 2021 two more will arrive that will not only be unpublished, but will also be officially presented with the definitive design.
According to Belloni, the new sedans from Citroën They will be different from what is on the market. It not only talks about design and style, which will obviously be original, but also about technical concept. Thus, they could offer a new range powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Therefore, they could be preparing their own version of the Peugeot 508 Hybrid as well as a superior model with which to republish the diffuse C6. The third saloon we do not know its positioning, but it could be the successor of the current C-Elysee.
However, we must take into account the meaning of Belloni's words. The European market does not welcome, as in the past, the commercialization of sedans. However, this does not happen in China, where they still maintain a high market share. For this reason, it must be taken into account that the new Citroën sedans are aimed at this market. In addition, the executive confirmed that they will not be of all sizes, since the smallest ones do not enjoy the favor of the public. We will be attentive to the news, because the subject promises a lot.
