Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages of the Citroën C5 Aircross registered in the EU/EEA in 2025 (42,307 cars), engine power from 28 countries, kerb weight from 29 countries. Source: EEA CO₂ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).
Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.

Power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the combustion engine, not the system output; for electric cars it can differ from the peak power in the maker’s marketing.
