Find your perfect C5 X

Cars available now

If you can deal with some floatiness, the soft-riding Citroën C5 X proves a comfortable cruiser. Its interior is fairly spacious and upmarket while the raised driving position gives you a grander view out than you would have in a regular estate car. There are some caveats to be aware of, but if you do buy a C5 X we recommend the entry-level petrol engine and Plus trim.

Entry-level Plus is our recommended trim, being your cheapest option yet still well equipped. You get dual-zone climate control, 19in alloy wheels, keyless entry and start, wireless phone-charging, cruise control and automatic LED lights and wipers.

This mild-hybrid delivers a boost in fuel economy over the PureTech 130. However, it demands a premium and the regenerative braking makes for a sloshier ride than it already is.
