When the October 2026 price lists came out, one number in the C-SUV segment stood out. The new-generation Citroën ë-C5 Aircross starts at 2,430,000 TL. On the same list, its sister model, the Peugeot E-3008, costs 3,384,500 TL. Both cars use the same platform, the same battery and the same electric motor, yet the E-3008 costs about 950,000 TL more.

This article covers the ë-C5 Aircross's specs, how it compares with its rivals in Turkey, and the question buyers ask most: how long does it take to charge at a public station, and what does it cost?

Citroën ë-C5 Aircross Price in Turkey (October 2026)

The new-generation C5 Aircross arrived in Turkey in December 2025. The electric version launched at these prices:

ë-C5 Aircross 157 kW Plus: 2,330,000 TL (December 2025)
ë-C5 Aircross 157 kW Max: 3,100,000 TL (December 2025)

On the October 2026 lists, the electric version starts at 2,430,000 TL. That puts the entry price up about 100,000 TL since launch, which is a modest rise next to car prices in general over the same period. For the October price of the Max trim, ask a dealer for a current quote. Promotions and financing terms can change what you actually pay.

Motor output also matters for the price. At 157 kW, the motor sits just below 160 kW, a key cutoff in Turkey's special consumption tax (ÖTV) brackets. Staying under that line appears to keep the car in a lower tax bracket.

Specs: What the Numbers Tell You

Spec	Citroën ë-C5 Aircross (Turkey)
Battery	73 kWh (NMC)
WLTP range	502 km
Motor output	157 kW (approx. 210 hp), front-wheel drive
Max DC charging power	160 kW
20–80% DC charging time	approx. 30 minutes
Onboard AC charger	11 kW
Heat pump	Standard
October 2026 starting price	2,430,000 TL

Two items in this table deserve a closer look.

The heat pump is standard. In Turkish winters, especially in Central and Eastern Anatolia, heating the cabin of an EV without a heat pump cuts range noticeably. The ë-C5 Aircross includes one even on the Plus trim, which helps on long winter drives.

AC charging tops out at 11 kW. Most public AC stations in Turkey can deliver 22 kW, but this car won't accept more than 11 kW. Plug it into a 22 kW AC socket and it still charges at 11 kW. That isn't a flaw, since most cars in this class work the same way, but you need to factor it in when estimating charging times.

In Europe, this model is also sold as a long-range version with a 97 kWh battery. For now, the only electric version on the Turkish price list is the 73 kWh one.

How Far Does 502 km WLTP Really Get You?

The WLTP figure comes from a standardized test that mixes city and highway driving in mild conditions. On the road, speed, outside temperature, climate control use and gradient decide your real range.

A 73 kWh battery and a 502 km WLTP rating work out to an average consumption of about 14.5 kWh/100 km under test conditions. A family SUV of this size and weight usually uses more than that in daily driving. Based on owner data from similar cars in this class, here are rough estimates:

City driving, mild weather: approx. 430–480 km
Mixed driving: approx. 380–420 km
Highway at 120 km/h, winter: approx. 300–340 km

These are estimates. The key point is this: in the 20–80% window, where fast charging is most efficient, the car covers roughly 180–200 km on the highway. Plan long trips around that window.

Charging: How Long, and How Much in Turkey?

Charging prices in Turkey vary by operator and socket power. Based on tariffs published in September–October 2026, DC fast charging costs roughly 13–15 TL/kWh and AC charging roughly 9.90–11 TL/kWh. For example, Trugo's September 2026 tariff is 9.95 TL/kWh for AC and 14.98 TL/kWh for DC. The calculations below use these ranges, and the results are approximate.

Scenario 1: High-power DC station (120 kW and above), 20–80%

Energy into the battery: 73 kWh × 60% ≈ 44 kWh
Time: approx. 30 minutes (Citroën figure)
Cost: 44 kWh × 13–15 TL ≈ 570–660 TL

This session adds roughly 180–200 km of highway range, or about 300–350 TL per 100 km.

Note: you'll only see the car's 160 kW peak at stations that can deliver 160 kW or more, with the battery at the right temperature and a low state of charge. A 120 kW station won't add much time, because charging power tapers off as the battery fills anyway.

Scenario 2: Mid-power DC station (50–60 kW), 20–80%

Many of Turkey's mall, hotel and roadside stations still run at 40–60 kW.

Energy: approx. 44 kWh
Time: approx. 50–60 minutes
Cost: approx. 570–660 TL. Many operators price lower-power DC a little cheaper, so the total may land near the bottom of that range.

Stations in this class are still very handy for topping up during a shopping trip or a meal.

Scenario 3: AC station (11 kW), 10–100%

Energy into the battery: 73 kWh × 90% ≈ 66 kWh
Energy drawn from the grid, including AC conversion losses: approx. 72 kWh
Time: approx. 7 hours
Cost: 72 kWh × 9.90–11 TL ≈ 710–790 TL

AC charging suits cars that stay parked for a long time: at a workplace car park, a hotel, or a residential complex overnight. One warning: some stations charge an idle fee if the car stays plugged in after charging finishes. Remember to unplug once the car is full.

A rough comparison with a petrol C-SUV

Take a petrol C-SUV that uses about 7 liters per 100 km. At today's petrol prices, it costs more per 100 km than an ë-C5 Aircross charged only at public DC stations. The savings grow most with AC and home charging. If you can do most of your charging on AC, your cost per 100 km falls to roughly two-thirds of the DC scenario.

How It Compares with Rivals

In Turkey, the ë-C5 Aircross competes directly with electric family SUVs in the 2–2.5 million TL range. We've also added its sister model, the E-3008, as a reference point.

Model (October 2026)	Price	Battery	WLTP range	Max DC	Fast charging time
Citroën ë-C5 Aircross	2,430,000 TL	73 kWh	502 km	160 kW	20–80% ≈ 30 min
Togg T10X V1 RWD Long Range	2,219,668 TL	88.5 kWh	523 km	150 kW	20–80% ≈ 28 min
Kia EV3 Long Range (Cool)	2,450,000 TL	81.4 kWh	≈ 600 km	128 kW	10–80% ≈ 31 min
Peugeot E-3008	3,384,500 TL	73 kWh	≈ 525 km	160 kW	20–80% ≈ 30 min

Prices are taken from October 2026 price lists and exclude promotions and trade-in offers.

What the table shows:

The Togg T10X Long Range costs about 210,000 TL less and has a bigger battery, with range and charging time very close to the ë-C5 Aircross. Here the Citroën's strengths are ride comfort, interior space and the standard heat pump.
The Kia EV3 offers more WLTP range for nearly the same price. But it is a size smaller (between the B- and C-SUV segments) and charges more slowly on DC. The ë-C5 Aircross has more rear-seat and luggage space and works as a real family car.
The Peugeot E-3008 shares almost the same battery, motor and charging performance. Most of the price gap comes from interior design, brand positioning and equipment. If you want this battery and this charging time, the ë-C5 Aircross is the most affordable way to get this platform.

Who Is It For?

A good fit for:

Buyers looking for a family car used in the city several times a week and on long trips once or twice a month
Drivers with AC charging at home, at work or in their residential complex, which cuts running costs significantly
People who care more about comfort and a quiet ride than about the headline range figure

Think twice if you:

Often drive 600 km or more in one go. A trip like that needs at least two charging stops in this car.
Will charge only at public DC stations. In that case, your cost per 100 km can go above 300 TL.
