citroen cxperience hybrid concept showcases a sporty form

citroen cxperience hybrid concept: exclusively revealed one month ahead of the paris motor show, the citroen ‘cxperience concept’ embodies the french automaker’s ‘be different, feelgood’ promise in the large hatchback segment. with its distinctive body style, this new concept aims to illustrate the benefits of the citroen’s ‘advanced comfort programme’.  the exceptional new body style is a step forward that marks a new direction in brand strategy. the innovative plug-in hybrid vehicle is immediately recognizable with its distinctive style and cleverly designed rear-hinged doors. the bold lines express power, while the generous curves express the car’s own stylistic language. inspired by the high-tech world, the new front end, grille and updated signature headlights, create a unique style.  

the rear end also makes a statement with strongly marked wings and a concave rear window with a fin for improved aerodynamics. to contrast the pearlescent sea green exterior color, the premium materials inside the car are a citrus yellow shade to create a fresh and assured ambience. the seats are upholstered in a padded-effect yellow mesh fabric and the backrests feature an elegant shade of walnut wood.

in line with the brand’s heritage, this latest creation features the hallmark of citroen vehicles. ‘cxperience concept’ is the latest demonstration of the ‘advanced comfort programme’, designed for the comfort and well-being of all passengers. supporting the styling and technological development of new brand models, the programme reflects changing customer expectations and is considered at every stage in the design process. an easy to use infotainment system allows passengers to control a range of functions. a smartphone and mobile tablet can also be used to activate a range of controls including starting the vehicle and sharing media files with other passengers — all technology will be available for testing at the paris motor show.

‘the whole citroën style team pulled in the same direction to create a new executive hatchback with international reach, breaking conventional codes to express the brand’s values: optimistic, human and smart.’, comments alexandre malval, citroen design director.
