CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS
Auto Express
|November 13, 2024
Hybrid technology isn't new, but it has been improved over the years, thankfully
SOME would argue that the Sinclair C5 was ahead of its time. But Sir Clive Sinclair's shoe-shaped, part battery/part pedal-powered trike never caught on with the public, and it's now a transport curiosity. That's not something you can say about SUVs, as represented here by the Sinclair's namesake, the Citroen C5 Aircross. But is a name all they have in common?
Well there is another piece of common ground-they're both hybrids. Okay, so the Sinclair C5's mix of 12-volt car battery and leg muscles probably didn't help its cause, but the Citroen's combined petrol and electric power sources mean it's a small step towards electrification for those - including me - who still aren't best suited to EVs.

Alpin A390
IF you're looking at the car in these pictures and struggling to get a sense of what an Alpine A390 is, you're not the only one. The A390 GTS is very much an 'Alpine' in terms of its design, but this is an all-electric 4.6-metre-long crossover packing a high-performance powertrain underneath a body that's somewhere between an SUV, a coupé, and a four-door fastback.
