Citroen C5X review - The first properly cool Citroen for a long time

As a big fan of the Citroen brand, I've been a bit disappointed with most models the brand has produced over the last 10 - 15 years. It felt like this historic and highly innovative automaker had lost its way and it had become just another brand for Peugeot to sell cars under. However, recently Citroen has had a bit of a resurgence and nowhere is it more evident than in the new C5X. It may look a tad weird, but it's actually not bad in person, it has a great interior, decent power and an amazing ride quality. I'm impressed.

Great review, all needed aspects about the car revealed. Really enjoyed watching!

I just got mine and I must say the car looks even more gorgeous than you think when you see it in videos. I really feel different from other car owners. They all have cars that look like one another, and my car is one of a kind, comfortable, beautiful shape. I just love it.

I’ve had the PHEV for a month now. I can’t charge it at home (apartment building) but I use public chargers whenever I can. Doing so my average petrol consumption is now at 3, 8l /100km. And that includes a good amount of highway driving also. Thanks for the excellent review! I can agree wholeheartedly with the review. This is a great car (Women car journalists Big Car of the Year by the way). My wife tells me she gets compliments of its looks all the time and I have also noticed how people look at this car while I drive it. Finally after some hiatus a really good big Citroen. The Big Cat is back!

Hey man, really nice and complete car review! I am actually going to test drive the C5X PHEV 225hp next week. Can't wait to experience how it will be.

I am a huge fan of (big) Citroens and this takes me back to the great ones of past decades: the CX, XM and C6. I also have a passion for Swedish cars, particularly Saab (which is unfortunately dead at this point). The older models of Citroens always made for something really special and completely different to most other car brands. The same can be said of Saabs. Compare, for example, the Citroen CX to the Saab 900.

Funny detail on the lower rear spoiler on this beautiful quirky C5X, which almost looks like it has come of a 900 Coupe Turbo.

On the whole I am really excited about this new big Citroen, and happy to see a brand with such rich heritage still being able to offer something different and interesting. Especially in this day and age, where stupid high SUV's are perceived as the benchmark for a good family car. Really excited to be driving and trying it out soon!

I must say, this is one of the very best reviews for the absolutly beautiful Citroën C5X. hank you so ever kindly of you to review and I like your honesty about such an under rated car that deserve praise and respect.

[andrisromanovskis]

@comcarclub The previous gen C5 Tourer still stands supreme in the lineup.

Nice review, did you tested this car with the base sound or the Hify optional? Thanks!!

The Chrome strip along the top of the side glasshouse is meant to homage the original 55-75 Citroen DS.

Main rival is Peugeot 408... Also, there is no more PSA, now it`s a Stellantis Group.
Overall, do you this this car is more comfortable (in terms of suspension) comparing to 2013 C5 X7 with hydractive?

[reaperbg]

The climate controls on the C6 are from C5 and Peugeot 407, not C4.

I got this car brand new for 25k€ . I cannot believe the car I am driving for the money I have payed. I am delighted with the car and my wife and kids love it. When I see my friends paying 50k for Audis and Of course they think I am crazy for driving a citroen.... I Don't give a fuck jajajaja

[victorgrasscourt]

Beware that only the hybrid models have adaptive suspension, and ride much better than the conventionally sprung cars.

The seats are very poor - small, lack support, and under the seat squab there is a metal support bar that cuts into your thighs. Hardly “Advanced Comfort Seats”.

I’ve had mine for almost 6 weeks from new. I’m looking to off load it asap! Awful car & awful company to deal with. Avoid.
