Citroen India has silently discontinued the base-spec Feel trim of the Citroen C5 Aircross SUV. The SUV was available in two variants – Feel and Shine priced at Rs 36.91 lakh and 39.9 lakh, respectively ex-showroom. The flagship SUV is now only offered in top-spec Shine trim. The C5 Aircross SUV was the first offering that Citroen launched in India back in April 2021 and it received a major facelift in September 2022.
The base-spec Feel trim lacked features like a panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate, wireless phone charger, traction control, hill-descent control, and offered a smaller infotainment touchscreen along with different upholstery, which likely contributed to its low sales and the decision to discontinue the variant.
Citroen will continue to offer the top-spec shine trim which gets features such as 10-inch infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, powered driver seat, dual-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, hands-free tailgate opening, hands-free parking, six airbags, ESC and traction control.
