About the Citroën C5 X
The Citroën C5 X represents a return to the brand's tradition of large, eccentric flagships, eschewing the conventional three-box saloon shape for a high-riding 'crossover' estate silhouette. Built on the EMP2 platform, it prioritises ride quality above all else, featuring the Citroën Advanced Comfort suspension with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions. The 1.2-litre PureTech three-cylinder engine serves as the entry-level powertrain, offering adequate performance for a vehicle designed for relaxed cruising rather than dynamic driving. While it lacks the complex hydropneumatic systems of its ancestors, its distinctive design and focus on serenity make it a unique alternative in the D-segment.
