rnWe think Citroen C5 Aircross is superior in design. You get a pair of vertically split headlights, which seamlessly blend into the front grille. The Citroen logo is also integrated into the grille and is a unique design element. Other than that, the car has a set of 18-inch machine-cut aluminum wheels, LED taillights, and large roof rails.rnrnCitroen C5 Aircross Vs Hyundai Tucson Citroen C5 Aircross Vs Hyundai TucsonrnrnThe Hyundai Tucson packs a punch on the road, thanks to its bulging, sharp headlights, cascading front grille, and 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels. However, the car has been around for almost half a decade and therefore looks old. Hyundai has already launched the new generation version in some international markets and we expect the new generation model to arrive in India soon.rnrnThe C5 Aircross is 20mm longer and 50mm taller than the Hyundai Tucson. Although the Tucson is 10mm wider, C5 Aircross has a longer wheelbase by a margin of 60mm, Overall, the Citroën SUV wins the exterior comparison, thanks in large part to its great design.rn

Interior

rnCitroen C5 Aircross features a dark interior, with a meticulously designed instrument panel with square air conditioning vents. The car also has an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and the multi-function steering wheel has a 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster behind it.rnrnThe car has leather seats with a unique and beautiful modular design, with a second-row tilt feature as well. The vehicle offers features such as an on/off button, gesture tailgate, ambient cabin lighting, heated and powered ORVM devices, panoramic sunroof, hands-free parking, automatic IRVM dimming, power-adjustable driver's seat and e-parking brake, and dual-zone climate control.rnrnCitroen C5 Aircross Vs Hyundai Tucson Citroen C5 Aircross Vs Hyundai TucsonrnrnHyundai Tucson has a different approach to interior design. The dash slopes slightly towards the driver and you get an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with a floating-type touchscreen. There are plenty of soft-touch surfaces in the cabin, adding to the premium feel, though the overall design is relatively dull. The instrument cluster consists of analog discs with MID in the center.rnOther features offered include an electrically adjustable driver and front passenger seat, automatic IRVM dimming, electric and heated ORVM devices, second-row reclining seats, hands-free tailgate, dual-zone climate control, and push-button on-off, e-parking brake, and a panoramic sunroof. Tucson also features Hyundai's Blue Link connected car technology, which adds additional convenience.rn

Citroen C5 Aircross Vs Hyundai Tucson- Price

rnThe Hyundai Tucson is currently priced at Rs. 22.55 Lakh to Rs. 27.33 lakh(ex-showroom). It is a good car overall but is in dire need of a major upgrade. We believe that Hyundai should replace the current Tucson with a new generation version that is already in our market.rnrnAs for the Citroen C5 Aircross, its price has yet to be revealed, but it is speculated that it will have a starting price of Rs. 30 lakh(ex-showroom). Although it is expected to be more expensive than the Tucson, the C5 Aircross is the most exciting offering, with a new design and many features.rnrnAlso Read: Citroen C5 Aircross variants and features explainedrnrnAlso Read: Hyundai reveals all-new sporty-looking Hyundai Tucson N Line Advertisement
