Citroen C5 Crossover

However, unlike the usual crop of jacked-up SUV-shaped crossover’s we’re used to, the C5 pictured here appears more like a raised mix of estate and fastback. Citroen C5, Citroen Scoops. Citroen C5 Aircross Pros:. A superbly engineered & properly premium crossover. Very stylish exteriors & interiors! We love the design. It's matched to solid build quality. Good quality cabin with comfortable seats, lots of storage & fantastic insulation. 2.0L diesel engine is quick, efficient & extremely refined. This is the new Citroen C5 Aircross! Even though the exterior styling may help it stand out, there’s no denying it’s just yet another entry into the crowded.

With its new flagship, the French brand tries to convince that long pleasure cruises via cars still have a future; of course, a high-tech one. There is no explicit luxury here, but the harmonious blend of comfort, practicality, and dynamism generates a certain touch of conceptual elegance.

All the ideas that define the new Citroën C5 X were known more or less in an independent manner until now. Comfort features, a large interior, station wagon design, crossover-SUV riding abilities, refined dynamic behavior—Citroën promises all these were never put together the way the C5 X does it.
Years ago, Citroën was known for its unique “suspension hydro-pneumatique,” which had certain limits in terms of reliability. Later, it was replaced by the “hydractive” (also a type of hydraulic-pneumatic suspension system seen on the Citroën Xantia, XM, and former C5 sedans and wagons series). Now, the C5 X breaks new ground with the introduction of the so-called Citroën Advanced Comfort active suspension, which is said to take the impression of flying on a magic carpet further, a sensation closely linked to the history of Citroën.
Obviously, the inner space of a car of this size should give a clear impression of roominess. After all, we are talking about the European D-segment/full-size family car here—the C5 X is 4,805-mm (189-in) long and has a wheelbase of 2,785 mm (110 in). The C5 X is equipped with elaborated seats, presented under the Advanced Comfort label, and the space for the second row was particularly cared for. With a 545-liter standard capacity (really good value for a typical big European station wagon), the trunk is just finely suited for the potential necessities of a long holiday trip or practical themes.
There are plenty of advanced features on board, and their purpose is mostly related to the enjoyment and safety of trips. Take the Extended Head Up Display, for instance, as well as a range of driving assistance features that reduce the driver's workload (such as Highway Driver Assist). There's also a new infotainment interface with a central 12-inch HD touchscreen, voice recognition, and a custom configurable display, similar to a tablet.
The plug-in hybrid propulsion system delivers up to 225 PS (222 hp) and has a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine at its core. The C5 X can be operated 100% electric for some 50 km (31 miles), and the powertrain allows for a maximum speed in electric mode of 135 kph (84 mph). As for go-anywhere capabilities, the front and rear overhangs look a bit too massive for serious off-roading, but going on rougher terrain should be fun.

Citroën may have arrived to the large SUV party later than rivals in the same segment, but they've certainly made an entrance worth remembering with the C5 Aircross SUV.

Alongside the sleek styling comes a series of innovative technologies and efficient engines, which make for a serene driving experience that will leave you stress-free after every journey.

Interestingly, Citroën haven't fallen into the trap of trying to make a sporty SUV that can't perform as well as it looks. Instead, they placed their focus on comfort, a choice that has proven to be beneficial to the driving dynamics.

C5 Aircross boasts a truly unique identity that comes courtesy of the smooth and rounded body lines, as well as the subtle exterior features. Complementing the smart appearance are 30 exterior styling combinations and three interior ambiances; you certainly won't struggle personalising the car to match your desires.

Inside you will find Citroën's Advanced Comfort Seats, which benefit from high density foam and acres of adjustability. 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.

Each C5 Aircross comes with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions®. We won't bore you with the science, but it's a suspension system that soaks up big impacts and imperfections from the road's surface. As a result, you benefit from an ultra-smooth driving experience.

Advanced soundproofing features throughout the cabin of C5 Aircross. The front windows have been double-laminated with an insulated layer, while a great deal of attention has been paid to preventing noise intrusion from the engine bay. A blissfully quiet ride is the reward of these endeavors.
