There are adjustable air intakes on front bumper that open and close automatically to make it more aerodynamic. There\u2019s also a concave rear window for improved aerodynamics and rear hinged doors for easy passenger access.Inside, padded-effect yellow mesh fabric cover the seats, broken up by walnut wood backrests. The citrus yellow interior also boasts a 19-inch rectangular split-screen display which controls the vehicle\u2019s functions, and provides different displays for the driver and front passenger. That isn\u2019t particularly great news because Citroen doesn\u2019t have a great track record with these types of things.The all-encompassing touchscreen system that has featured in recent Citroens like the C4 Cactus was slow and frustratingly unresponsive most of the time, and considering it controls everything from the climate to the stereo to the sat-nav, it was easy to get annoyed at the system\u2019s lethargic operation. We\u2019d hope this new system solves these problems but don\u2019t hold your breath.Citroen has aimed to shut out the outside world by developing a cocoon effect that employs a hydraulic cushion advanced module. This means it improves the car\u2019s filtration system regardless of the road\u2019s bumps and dips to achieve superb driving comfort.We don\u2019t talk about Citroen much on Motor-Vision but if their cars are anything like this concept, you\u2019ll be seeing a lot more double chevron logos on here\u2026"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Citroen\u2019s Cxperience concept","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/citroens-cxperience-concept\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
