Citroen C4 Aircross

The Citroen C4 Aircross and Peugeot 4008 have been recalled this week over concerns the windscreen wiper motors could fill with water and seize - with 2492 vehicles affected in total. According to the French manufacturers, affected vehicles are fitted with a motor venting device that may not be to the correct specification - potentially allowing water to enter the wiper motor.

Citroen has re-launched in Australia under the auspices of new importer Sime Darby, which takes over from Ateco Automotive this month. The Sydney-based importer has renegotiated the model range, pricing and specification of the entire Citroen line-up, with most models receiving pricing cuts of around $2000 (read more about Citroen DS line pricing changes here).

The updated Citroen C5 will benefit from a minute facelift akin to a game of 'spot the difference' when it arrives in Australia in late 2012 or early 2013. The only notable difference between the existing C5 (pictured below), first seen in 2008, and the 2013 model year C5 (pictured top) is the slight change and modernisation of the Citroen chevrons on the grille and steering wheel, matching that of the new Citroen C4 AirCross, and bringing it into line with the company's refreshed look.
