Replacing the trusty C5, the Citroën C5 X is the new flagship car from the popular French carmakers. Combining the class of a saloon with the dominating presence of an SUV, this is a masterpiece of continental engineering. Reviewers have called it the most comfortable car ever built – and it’s hard to disagree. Thanks to Citroën’s EMP2 chassis technology, this family car comes with plenty of leg room for its five passengers. Even without folding the rear seats, its impressive boot has a 545-litre capacity – 50 litres more than competitors such as the Vauxhall Insignia.
Despite its size, the Citroën C5 X is extremely easy to drive. With the EAT8 automatic gearbox included in every model, taking this crossover for a ride is as joyful as a day in the French Riviera. Apart from being an easy ride, this practical estate-meets-SUV can basically take care of itself. Following the steps of previous Citroën vehicles, this is a low-maintenance car with reduced running costs and an extremely low fuel consumption at just 45 mpg.
The Citroën C5 X is available as a petrol car and as a plug-in hybrid. If you go for the latter, you’ll get your hands on a car with a full electric range of up to 31 miles. That means that all of your short trips around town will be completely emission-free, saving you cash whilst helping the environment. It gets even better when you’re cruising down the motorway, as both petrol and electric motors combine to reach a combined power of 225bhp.
