Performance
The Citroën ë-C5 Aircross Long Range has 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 reaches a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 100.7 kWh and a net usable capacity of 96.9 kWh, with a 3.8 kWh buffer (3.8%) for battery protection.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 681 km (423 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 672 km (418 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 14.2 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 14.4 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
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. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 110 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 55 minutes at an average power of 74 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 6–55%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 75 kW over a session lasting 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.
