The PSA Group is playing its part in trying to save the conventional sedan as it’s battling the SUV colossus. A brand new Peugeot 508 is right around the corner and there are reasons to believe it will be a breath of fresh air in the shrinking segment judging by the attractive prototypes we’ve been spotting in recent months. At the same time, sister brand Citroën is also focusing on coming out with a replacement for its aging C5 by developing an all-new sedan that will also fill in the void left after the C6’s demise.

Rest assured it won’t be yet another conventional sedan bound to be eclipsed by a multitude of SUVs coming in all shapes and sizes. The double chevron’s boss Linda Jackson has told Top Gear magazine the C5/C6 successor won’t be a classic sedan since that kind of car “is nearly dead in Europe.” To make it stand out from the pack and at the same time separate it from the DS premium brand, Citroën is adopting “Cactus mentality” in the development process of its new sedan.
