Why buy a used Citroen C5 Aircross

Buy a Citroen C5 Aircross if you're after a mid-size family SUV that prioritises comfort over sportiness, and has perhaps a smidge less space than its rivals. The Citroen C5 Aircross features standard Advanced Comfort Suspension and seats that are designed to cosset you over long distances. In the back, you'll find three individual rear seats that slide, recline and offer equal space – perfect for growing families.

Owning a Citroen C5 Aircross

Used Citroen C5 Aircross models offer reasonable running costs. The Advanced Comfort technology creates a smooth, refined driving experience that reduces fatigue on longer journeys.

Citroen C5 Aircross FAQs

The Citroen C5 Aircross is a five-door, five-seat SUV with some quirky styling touches that have become typical for the brand. There are split headlights, chrome-lined windows and a version of Citroen’s Airbumps that are meant to reduce car park dings.

Measuring 4.5 metres long, the C5 Aircross is a pretty similar size to most mid-size SUVs. The Citroen, however, offers significantly more luggage space than some of its rivals. There are up to 580 litres of room with the rear seats in place, extending to 720 litres if you slide the rear seats forwards, or a huge 1,630 litres with them folded. It’s worth noting that the plug-in hybrid reduces carrying capacity to 460 litres with the rear seats up, 600 litres with the rear seats slid forwards and 1,510 litres with them folded flat.

Those handy rear seats mean you can offer lanky passengers more leg room, or prioritise boot space when you don’t need so much rear seat space. The big Citroen is really good for passenger space on the whole.

You can buy a used C5 Aircross with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid drivetrains. PureTech petrol models have either 1.2 or 1.6-litre capacities, while BlueHDi turbodiesels are available in 1.5 or 2.0-litre flavours. Six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearboxes are available.

The plug-in hybrid combines the most powerful petrol engine with an electric motor and automatic gearbox for strong performance with up to 34 miles of pure electric running. That means it’s particularly well suited to regular shorter trips, but just remember that the diesel remains the long-distance mpg champ.
