An honest review of the new Citroen C5 X

As big Citroens tend to be, the new Citroen C5 X is a fascinating type of car. It’s rather difficult to comprehend what to construct of it when you first see it. For drivers who love the brand, there are the occasional suggestions and references to an easily recognizable style. However, nowadays, it might look like a big C4 - if you know it - resembling the waistline and roof. At the same time, the new Citroen is longer, with a large boot. It is, extremely extensively as Citroen planned, a mixture between an organizational saloon, an SUV, and an estate car. Because it has little bits and bobs from every style, creating a unique and beautiful new model. It’s considered to be a festival of the preferences of the superb CX, XM, and C6. As the best car from this brand, the C5 X has a presence on the highway and an inviting sort of posture. You can see it's sleek and aerodynamic, with a drag coefficient of 0.29. The height which is similar to an SUV gives an excellent commanding perspective of the surroundings. Sure, we're not talking about a Range Rover. You might not feel super majestic, but still, the new Citroen does feel good. And although it has a wide roof, there is plenty of headroom. Moreover, you have five separate seats and plenty of luggage space in the rear.

It is definitely one of the best-looking cars the brand has made in recent years. Plus, it is more distinctive than the C5 Aircross. There are lots of angles and swathes expanding directly into the dipped sides. It looks like the developers spent a while in the creation stage, or the computer. It is true that Citroen is growing in popularity in China. The way it is designed is perfect to sit in the back, relaxed, having a nice view on the road. It is a car large enough to hold a washing machine in the back. The entry-level model is a quite remarkable value at £27,790, just because it’s such a lot of car for the money, even up against a strong challenger as Skoda Superb or Volkswagen Arteon.

For that, nevertheless, you have to put up with the 1.2l motor, which is skillfully created to maximize fuel consumption and rendition - little capacity, but injected and turbocharged - which has to perform quite challenging to move ahead, even with a nice eight-speed gearbox. The plug-in hybrid cars appear to be better and are a suitable choice if you make short journeys and if you can make use of the tax break. Because you can drive about 20 miles on electric-only, which is good. The real challenge is the 1.6 petrol-only cars, which make the most of the model's prospect for classy cruising. Unnecessary to state that today there is no diesel option or all-electric type. As for the trip, the C5 X in all types has the standard driver assistance aids, connectivity, comfortable seats, a large touchscreen that is easily accessible, and updated major controls. However, there are a few let-downs: too much street noise transferred through the stylish 19-in alloy wheels, and maybe the quality of the materials which aren’t particularly amazing even in the most pricey types, that cost beyond £40,000.

You're probably thinking "well, is it worth it?" The answer might be shadowed by a cloud of mixed feelings because the new Citroen does look very fine and nice, but at the same time, it may not measure up to some of the mainstream competitors like Skoda, Shooting Brake, Stellantis, Genesis G70. In short, there could be made some really minor and modest changes to improve the transformation and make the new model more appealing to all people. However, at its core, Citroen is known throughout history to be comfortable, stylish, and a little different from the rest of the cars,

Of course, as well as being stylish, “different” and comfortable, big Citroens have also historically suffered from harsh disapproval of a lot of people's car of choice. When the brand launches a new full-size Citroen, the directors and executives must give extra information and explain so that people would be relieved that the new care will be viable and you should buy it, because it will be on the market for a long time. And even if there are errors from time to time, the new car might just be the exception and really super different, as the Citroen bosses say now about it. Maybe the real shift is our way of acquiring cars today, as a new way by using personal leasing, different plans but certainly, a plan that benefits for real the new owner. So, expect a new kind of experience with the new Citroen.
