KYB Suspension and New Citroen C5

KYB is further strengthening its relationship with Citröen by supplying suspension components for its new C5 model.

The front and rear shock absorbers supplied by KYB along with hydro pneumatic spheres provide the C5 with a dynamic ride with impressive road-holding and driver comfort.

The C5 is a large family car packed with cutting edge technology and enhanced levels of driving features. It has been awarded a 5 star NCAP safety rating.

The Hydractive 3 suspension system actively filters out imperfections in the road surface to offer unequalled comfort. The shocks use compressed air and hydraulic fluid to offer features including automatic ride height adjustment, which contribute to the car's exemplary handling.

Citroën has been using pneumatic suspension technology on its cars since 1955 and this Hydractive suspension uses electronic control of the springing and damping to constantly adapt to road and driving conditions.

KYB Suspensions Europe commented, "We are extremely proud of the way our relationship with Citroen has developed over the past few years. It is a reflection on our world class product quality that we continue to supply such a prominent European manufacturer."

In addition to Citroen, KYB also supplies original equipment shock absorbers to numerous other vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) around the world, including Audi-VW Group, Ford, General Motors, Mitsubishi, Renault and Toyota.

More than one in four cars leaving production lines worldwide are fitted with KYB shock absorbers as standard, making KYB the world's largest supplier of OE shocks to vehicle manufacturers.
