Al Rostamani Trading Company has launched the all-new Citroën C5 Aircross in the UAE, adding a redesigned, comfort-led family SUV to the local market. The official Citroën distributor is offering the five-seat model in two versions: the C5 Aircross YOU from AED 106,999 and the better-equipped C5 Aircross PLUS from AED 116,999.

Two UAE grades, one turbo-petrol powertrain
Both UAE-spec versions use a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 180 hp and 240 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Citroën lists combined fuel consumption at approximately 14.1 km/l, while published performance figures put 0-100 km/h at 9.9 seconds and top speed at 201 km/h.

The simple two-trim line-up gives buyers a clear choice between the lower-priced YOU model and the PLUS grade, which adds more convenience, driver-assistance and parking technology. Prices quoted are UAE market prices, so registration, insurance and any dealer-selected accessories can change the final on-road cost.
Comfort and space are the main selling points
Citroën has positioned the new C5 Aircross around ride comfort and family usability rather than outright sportiness. The SUV uses the brand’s Advanced Comfort seats and Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension system, while the redesigned cabin centres on a 13-inch HD “Waterfall” touchscreen.
Depending on specification, equipment includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, keyless entry and start, and a panoramic opening glass roof. Rear-seat space and luggage room are also central to the package: Citroën quotes up to 1,985 litres of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded.

Safety equipment for daily UAE driving
Standard driver-assistance features listed for the C5 Aircross include Active Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Extended Traffic Sign Recognition and cruise control. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and additional parking assistance are reserved for higher specifications, so buyers should confirm the equipment fitted to their chosen trim with the dealer before ordering.

Why this matters for UAE buyers
The C5 Aircross enters one of the UAE’s busiest family-SUV segments, where buyers have a broad choice of Korean, Japanese, European and Chinese crossovers. Its front-wheel-drive layout and petrol-only offering make it primarily an urban and highway vehicle, rather than a desert-focused SUV. However, its emphasis on cabin comfort, rear-passenger room and a large boot could appeal to families making frequent inter-emirate journeys.
The entry price also gives Citroën a defined position in the market. At AED 106,999, the C5 Aircross YOU offers a European-brand alternative for customers prioritising a distinctive design and comfort-oriented suspension. The higher AED 116,999 PLUS grade is aimed at buyers who value extra convenience and assistance features without moving into a larger premium SUV class.
