Citroen to unveil C5 sedan next month


Citroen is set to debut its C5 sedan at a press event scheduled for October 18, a new report finds. The C5 is expected to take design cues from the C5 airscape concept that was shown at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. While Citroen will unveil the C5 sedan next month, the car won't hit the market until its world debut at January's Brussels Motor Show.

When the C5 does go on sale next year, it will be available in sedan and wagon body styles. It still remains unclear if a convertible version will be available, but inside sources say Citroen is conducting market research for the viability of an up-scale drop top. If given the green light, the convertible could make it to market 12 months after the sedan and wagon.

It is also believed that Citroen will debut some new technologies in the C5, such as a new traction control system, an engine start/stop feature and brake-energy regeneration.
