Apr 13, 2021 The new C5X is a perfect blend of different body styles including an SUV, a station wagon and a sedan. The carmaker has definitely been able to create something extremely unique but that comes with.
Introduction
- The C5 component tweeters are built with 0.75-inch silk dome diaphragms that deliver smooth, extended response, on and off axis. Flush-mounting and surface-mounting fixtures are included to fit a wide variety of installation needs.
- The Citroen C5 will take the form of a fastback crossover, as depicted in these images by our spy photographer sources, leaving behind the three-box sedan shape from the last decade.
- C5 Aircross is the most modular car in its segment, because the rear seats can individually slide, fold and adjust for incline. At minimum, you have 580 litres of boot space at your disposal. This can be extended to 720 litres if you play around with the rear seats. Fold those rear seats completely flat and you get 1,630 litres to play with.

What Car? says...
The Citroën C5 Aircross is your archetypical Citroën. The brochure blurb calls it the ‘Comfort class SUV’, and it certainly has the French brand’s famously supple ride.
Plus, those quirky looks could only really come from a company that arguably knows more than any other carmaker about avant-garde design.
The C5 Aircross has pedigree DNA, too. Under its skin you’ll find engines and mechanicals that are shared with the Peugeot 5008, which is one of our favourite large SUVs. They include regular petrol and diesel options, along with a plug-in hybrid.
The Large SUV class is a broad church, covering everything from premium cars, including the Audi Q5 and BMW X3,to seven-seaters such as the Kia Sorento, another favourite of ours. There are also proper off-roaders – the Land Rover Discovery Sport, for example – which can scurry up muddy hills.
The Citroën C5 Aircross is available as a five-seater only and, with no four-wheel-drive option, it doesn’t really do rough-and-tumble stuff. Instead, it tempts buyers with a price that undercuts its 5008 cousin and competes at the more affordable end of the class, vying with the Mazda CX-5 and MG HS and other rivals.
So you already know how many seats it has, that it offers a smooth ride and that you won't need a second mortgage to own one, but what about everything else? Does it have enough room for you and your family, and does it make good financial sense in the long run? These questions and more will be answered over the next few pages.
And don’t forget that our New Car Buying service is here to help when you decide which car is for you; we can get you a huge discount on the Citroën C5 Aircross and most of its rivals, all without having to haggle.
