  • This is the new Citroen C5 Aircross! Even though the exterior styling may help it stand out, there’s no denying it’s just yet another entry into the crowded SUV market. It comes in relatively cheap, but barring the exterior, how does the C5 Aircross stack up against the competition? Join Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

    I am basically no SUV person, and no french car fanatic, but I have to say that the french manufactures stepped their game. Almost each model from PSA and Renault looks amazing and with the right equipment pretty posh. The are also very good equipped. I never though that I will say this, but I really would consider a buying a car from PSA or Renault. In my opinion really great job. More car for the money than at the most of the german manufacturers.

    Just bought one two weeks ago and I am as impressed as I was during the initial test drive. So comfortable and quiet and that's the diesel version. It takes a while to get used to it like anything new but now I feel soo chilled driving it and it's not as BIG as I feared initially and is very easy to place on the road and to park etc. It really is up to Citroen's standard, well done and am a very pleased customer.

      I am greatly interested in that car, primarily because of comfort suspension. I am driving Nissan Qashqai now an I am sick of jumpy and unsettled ride over patchy and wavy roads. What is your experience? Does your body moves too much or still stands calm on uneven roads.

Im having it adapted for hand controls.
      Oh and it sips fuel very frugally the PSA 1.5 diesel turbo costs less to run than the Renault and Nissan 1.5 Turbo diesel engine does, even with an 8 speed auto box with a proper Torque Converter, if you change the gear fluid every 50k the auto will last forever The Renault and Nissan Boxes are a Dry dual clutch electronically operated manual box and the dual clutches wear out which can be expensive in the long run. imagine the cost of paying for replacing 2 clutches and you'll be on the right page. I researched all this while looking at automatics to buy and Im glad I got the Citroen with a proper torque converter gearbox it is smooth and pretty seamless in its gear changes to. Citroen brakes are still quite fierce so remember to just rest your foot on the brake pedal. you dont need much effort to stop the car.

    Quite impressed by this car and what if offers for the money. It has good proportions and a very good stance - personally, I like the space grey, white orange combination but it might not be to everyone's liking and the Interior is certainly not boring and has its own modern style. Big boot and 3 back seats, flat floor. Not a car for me but I can certainly understand why a family would choose this. Great work Citroen. And as always a great consistent review, thanks ;D

    Just taken delivery of C5 Aircross 180 Flair Plus, automatic.
    I wanted this car as soon as I saw it when it first came out and it’s even better than I had hoped. After seeing so many reviews which, while praising the ride comfort, criticised the cornering, I’m glad that I didn’t take too much notice of them. With my son testing it with me on some twisting roads here in Wales, even as a passenger I couldn’t detect the infamous body roll as described by Matt and others. Obviously, fast cornering will result in passengers moving due to centrifugal forces, but that’s the same in any car!
    Even the infotainment unit is entirely intuitive and quickly becomes second nature.
    I have no regrets in opting for this wonderful car - I can’t think of any other car that’s so comfortable and relaxing to drive.

    This SUV program from PSA is a real success with the Peugeot 3008, Citroen C5 Aircross and Opel Grandland. The 3 cars have their own personality for the exterior, interior and even driving while they are built on the same platform. When you compare with the VW group and his lazy work with his Tiguan, Ateca and Karoq who are clones without personality it's shocking I hope that PSA will continue the good work of differentiation on these next cars.

      @A real bisexual petrol-head Saying that cars from one specific country are awful because they come from that one specific country is stupid. You're not a petrolhead. A petrolhead knows wich cars are good, wich are not, but do not say things that stupid. Plus, I am sure you never even drove a French car. If yes, you would know that old French cars (Citröen 2CV, DS21, Renault 4L, Peugeot 205) are brilliant and fun to drive, but cars from late '90s- 2010s are pieces of shit for most of all (exemple : the boring, non-reliable first-gen 3008. Renault made some good RSs models thought). Nowadays, Peugeot and Citröen are making really good cars for the money (new 208 Audi-like quality for cheaper than a Polo...thanks to the small yet reliable engine). Still, Renault is disapointing with their "new" Clio & Twingo that looks exactly the same as the previous gen. Even the "GTi" Mégane RS is not a true GTi (~1400+ kg !! A GTi must be light, under 1000 kg !). Exeption for the new Alpine, thought. Cute car.
      So that's what I want you to understand : French cars used to be really cool (~1900-1990), then absolute pieces of shit (1995-2010), but now they are getting better and better (late 2010-forever?).

    After looking through all the family suv style cars I've just ordered this one, it actually came down to this the Peugeot 3008 and the Renault Kadjar (well done the french). Went for the C5 aircross flair plus though as personally I think it gives you a little more value for money. I admit it's a bit of a marmite car though and you'll either love it's weird styling or hate it (I love it).

      wait for a slightly used diesel 1.5 with an 8 speed auto box about 30 thousand miles dropping to 18 grand easily. you can then buy a Flare which has most of the toys that takes it to 26k in price, the top model has a glass roof and a wave your foot under the rear bumper to open the boot door no good if you want a towbar or youll be kicking the towbar quite often with your shins and I imagine thats quite painful

      @Papi Kink 300 hp hybrid is underpowered for you? Also Americans like Toyota cars, and those are usually underpowered, so it's not a real problem, at least if car has something to offer other than engine, ie. economy, interesting design, thoughtful interior. Interior of Peugeot 508 beats all American cars hands down, and it is not a very expensive car. French cars are also known to be very comfortable, despite being significantly smaller and easier to park than American cars.

      those heater controls are manual by the way they didnt explore the piano black light up buttons beneath the screen, in fact this review falls short on a lot of details about the car, I own one and the screen is fast and responsive I recon they have bad sat naff reception where they are or a faulty screen on the base model, if start stop has been switched on all the time the battery will also be low to slowing the screen response down to. Cars with the stop start system if used all the time need the battery charging with an electronic LFP battery charger at least twice a year, alternatively switch off start stop when you start the engine every time.
