New Chevrolet C5 Air Cross Production Model Spotted Ahead of Launch

A new set of images has been released showcasing the production-ready Chevrolet C5 Air Cross, a compact SUV that is expected to hit the market in 2025.

According to industry insiders, the C5 Air Cross will become the fifth model to roll off the line on the STLA Medium platform, following the Peugeot 3008, 5008, Geely's Grandland, and soon-to-be-released DS N°8. Production-ready versions of the C5 Air Cross are expected to retain the concept car's design, while making some adjustments for mass production.

Design Details

A close examination of the new images reveals several key design changes. The car boasts a more angular appearance with its ample body lines, giving it a more robust feel. The roof has been darkened in the typical "熏黑" (baked chocolate) style, further lowering the vehicle's perception weight point. A notable change is the absence of a hidden door handle found in the concept version; instead, the production car will feature standard doors.

The rear end retains much of its shape from the concept model but with some key alterations. The larger taillights remain unchanged, while additional horizontal lines define the layering on the bumper for enhanced visual impact.

Technology and Powertrains

Inside the C5 Air Cross, drivers can expect to find a suite of advanced features including dual LED headlights encased in an enclosed mesh grille, larger intake air dams up front. Furthermore, rear fog lights will be positioned under a standard roof spoiler or possibly integrated within headlamps depending on trim.

In terms of powertrains, the new Chevrolet C5 Air Cross has announced a range of engine configurations that cater to multiple driving needs without compromising passenger comfort. The model available at launch is expected to include three different types: one unit using petrol, another with an electric motor driven from the front wheels to begin with and then switching to all-wheel drive version in a more extreme off-road mood.

Key stats on performance vehicles will see a 130 horsepower engine coupled to either six-speed, automatic or manual transmissions, respectively. Furthermore, each variant may be equipped with different battery volumes. Most notably, top-of-the-line model are projected to offer extended fuel ranges that stretch up towards 700 kilometers on a single charge which should cater for the urban and intercity road routes where these passengers spend most of their daily travel time.
