The model
Read full Citroën C5 X reviewIf 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.
The trim
See full equipmentIf you do feel inclined to upgrade to Max – we think it’s worth considering but not entirely worth it – you’ll gain heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and an electrically operated tailgate.
The engine
See full engine specsThis is the quickest C5 X of the lot, with its 0-62mph time of 7.9 seconds. It also gives you an official electric-only range of 39 miles on a charge, which is a bit below par by today’s standards.
