    I have to say I like the return of a more ...err...individual style from Citroen. It looks practical and can waft you around in comfort. It's a bit too long for me where I live (parking is , well, creative to say the least). Many thanks for sharing Richard, a clear and balanced review as usual.

    On a point of fact, the 1.2 petrol does have ‘progressive hydraulic cushions’, but not active scan.

    I love the design of this, I wouldn’t have it in black though, it hides the great lines. The C5X is much more interesting than the VW Group stuff

    They picked the wrong colour for this demo car, that black is super bland, I think it actually looks fairly good in the tan colour.

      It`s ok car but the potential of the brand is much much greater (especially when you know the history of the brand).

    Just got mine & did a road trip of 3,500Km's. It's great. The 1.6 turbo engine has plenty of power for Australia & good economy. A 7 hour drive was easy & comfortable.

    I have bought a Citroen C5 X with 1.6l petrol engine. It’s looks beautiful and elegant, but I have to say the gearbox is not good especially when it changes from 2 to 3 , it’s kind of annoying thing.

  • @sharonec5419

    Why would it have the same type of boor opening as a boring Audi A4 or a BMW 3series as this is not a saloon? Its part hatchback part suv part estate but not a saloon. Its nothing like a saloon.

    Don't forget about the brilliant but sadly unloved MPV. They were around from the 80s right up to the 10s and still are just not as many sadly.

    We buy far too many items from China and are too dependent on Chinese made goods. This is made in China and for that reason along with some BMW's, Mercedes Benz and VW group cars should be avoided. This car should be manufactured in France or at the very least in a European country.

    Nice looking car tho' I'm not surprised the 1.2 is sluggish as you can't defy the laws of physics, small engine powering larger car equals slower performance and less mpg.

    I wish they called it the CX. For the individual design, the spacious cabin, the ultra comfortable ride, the good quality build but not class leading, and of course the depreciation. All in all I believe it is the most CX of all modern Citroens. A bit marmite perhaps, not everyone’s cup of tea, but definitely something original and different from the crowd.

    I recently had a C3 Aircross as a loan car for the day - what a piece of junk. I've never seen so much hard plastic in a car before. This looks better, but the petrol hybrid is over £41k, so it get's expensive quickly. Still not sure about Citroen - they're very quirky in their designs, but you can't fault the comfort.

      Styling is subjective. It's marmite you eith love it hate it I love it but think Citroen could abd should have been even braver with it. They should have launched it just as an all out electric car to compete with the Kia EV6 and the Hyundai Ionic5.
