Citroen C5 X history

Although the C5 X is a new car, it’s seen as an indirect replacement for the previous C5 model, which was discontinued in 2018.

What features does a used Citroen C5 X have?

When it first went on sale, Sense Plus was the cheapest option, but it still has LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and a large 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The trim was renamed ‘You!’ but it still has the same equipment.

All cars use Citroen’s ‘Advanced Comfort’ suspension, which is said to offer a ‘magic carpet-like ride’. Plug-in hybrid models have an upgraded ‘Active’ version of this suspension that adapts to the road. The whole range also gets 15mm of foam padding on the seats to add to the sumptuous feeling.

Higher-spec cars add luxuries like a bigger 12-inch screen, a head-up display, a 360-degree parking camera and heated seats.

Is the Citroen C5 X reliable?

There’s not much data on the C5 X’s reliability because it’s still pretty new. Thankfully, many of its mechanical parts are shared with other Citroen, Peugeot, DS and Vauxhall models, so many parts of the car are already tried and tested and should be dependable.

How much does the Citroen C5 X cost to run?

The 130hp 1.2-litre petrol is punchy enough for most and should be able to return 40-50mpg.

If you need a bit more power, the 225hp plug-in hybrid still averages around 60mpg in a mixture of real-world driving, and it should be even better if you mostly do short journeys.

Who is the Citroen C5 X suitable for?

A Citroen C5 X for sale is an ideal pick for anyone who values comfort – it offers a seriously supple ride around town, and you’ll still feel refreshed after hours on the motorway.

It’s practical, too, so if you need lots of rear-seat legroom or boot space, it’s well worth considering over something like a Vauxhall Insignia, Volkswagen Passat or Skoda Superb.
