PSA Group’s Citroen CXPerience concept car combines the carmaker’s latest exterior design language and “advanced comfort” technologies with a hybrid-electric drivetrain.
The concept, which is named after the former CX large car that Citroen discontinued in 1991, is expected to preview the all-new C5 sedan due next year. Styling cues include a muscular front end with adjustable air intakes and staggered LED lights, pronounced wheel arches, rear-hinged doors and a long rear-sloping roof line with a small concave rear window. Rear-facing cameras are used in place of traditional door-mounted mirrors.
The interior features a single-spoke steering wheel and a 19-inch touchscreen that replaces traditional control buttons and switches. The split-screen design allows the driver and front-seat passenger to view separate content.
The comfort package includes a special seating system and Citroen’s next-generation suspension technology. The plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is teamed with an 8-speed automatic transmission, generates a combined 300 hp and provides a 40-mile electric driving range.
The company released photos of the vehicle on Monday. The car will be publicly unveiled late next month at the Paris auto show.

One of the things that rarely gets the amount of attention that it should in a typical “car review” is the fact that for a considerable amount of time drivers are not “getting on the throttle” because for a considerable number of drivers, they’re “dwelling on the binders,” a.k.a., sitting with their foot depressed on the brakes, perhaps lifting every now and then in order to nudge forward in traffic.
