Cxperience, the Citroen vision for future large sedans – ANSA.it

A look, rather than credible, the Citroen future and in particular on what could be a future flagship of the Double Chevron. This is the mission of Cxperience Concept – which is revealed a month before the opening of the Paris Motor Show – Citroen with confirmation, similar to what it did with C4 Cactus and more recently with New C3 – the ability to realize its promise ‘Be Different, Feel Good’. The silhouette of this large sedan twists – as had happened in the past with the iconic DS21 – the traditional codes of the segment, with such conceptual innovation seen that the car is inspired by the high-tech world to the outside and to the sector of ‘ decor for the interior. Cxperience has impressive proportions (4.85 m long and 2 m wide), a very low roof (1.37 m high) and short overhangs (to allow a wheelbase of 3 meters and then dock interior space) but remains ‘light’ thanks to the fluid forms. On the front, the concept car renews the purity of the lines through the unusual light signature that reinterprets the double chevron – Citroen symbol – on two levels, with a double wide chrome bar up to the headlights. The projectors V Led capture attention and give a technological look with thin sheets of 3 mm in width, in which gap integrate seamlessly turn signals. The luminous signature is completed at the bottom by the headlights to directional LEDs, 3 for each side of the vehicle. The front bumpers integrate air driven revenue, for greater efficiency. On each side, the movable flap is opened and closed so as to contribute to aerodynamics while driving and convenience during maneuvers. At the tail of the character Cxperience is emphasized by the importance of the fenders and the concave rear window, provided with movable spoilers in the lower part. The rear lights in 3D and laser fiber recall the V-shape front. Another characteristic of the style element are antagonistic doors, whose enveloping shape – which develops towards the

high part of the attic opening to 90 degrees – ensures easy access on board. The doors offer a unique insight into the spacious and elegant sull’abitacolo: a true representation of the comfort that invites to the trip. The interior of Cxperience Concept, with finishes in yellow invigorating citrus, is dominated by 19-inch wide-screen display in 16/3 format, from the steering wheel to only one race, the first call to DS21, and the floating plank in light walnut wood it develops horizontally. Conceived as a cocoon, Cxperience Concept filters the outside world and the stress of the road due to suspension with progressive hydraulic dampers. A true invitation to travel, Citroen Cxperience Concept provides a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that combines efficiency and high performance. with petrol engine (150 to 200 hp) and electric drives (up to 80 kW). In urban areas this sedan can travel 60 km in EV mode 100%, while on the open road, the driver enjoys the benefits of a total power up to 300 hp.
