Citroen e-C5 Aircross (2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Comfortable interior	Ride can get unsettled on some roads
Really roomy	No heat pump on lower-spec models
Excellent value	Not as rapid as its rivals

Quick Summary

The Citroen e-C5 Aircross is the fully electric second-generation of Citroen's family SUV, entering a competitive market against rivals like the Skoda Enyaq and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Despite replacing the previous model's individual sliding rear seats with a conventional bench, it boasts vast interior space, particularly impressive legroom, and a class-leading 651-litre boot. The cabin is noted for its high-quality finish and a large, user-friendly touchscreen infotainment system with intelligently designed, easy-to-access icons.

Available with two powertrains offering up to 421 miles of official range, its performance is adequate for daily driving rather than exhilarating. While its ride has become less "wafty" and can feel a bit wooden, especially in the heavier electric variant, it settles well on motorways. Crucially, the e-C5 Aircross offers extraordinary value, starting just over £32,000 after the government grant, making it a highly affordable and practical choice for families, though a heat pump is optional on lower trims.

Best for: Buyers on a budget seeking a spacious and practical family EV, those prioritising interior quality and value, and drivers who appreciate a user-friendly infotainment system.

Not ideal for: Those who demand the most supple ride comfort, blistering performance, or a heat pump as standard across all trim levels.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the e-C5 Aircross if: You're on a budget, seeking a spacious and practical family EV, appreciate a high-quality interior and user-friendly tech, or want excellent value in the electric SUV market.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the most supple ride comfort, exhilarating performance, or require features like a heat pump as standard across all trims.

Competitive Position: The Citroen e-C5 Aircross (2025) stands out in the electric SUV segment for its exceptional value and generous interior space, including a class-leading boot. While its ride comfort might not match the "wafty" feel of its predecessor and performance is adequate rather than thrilling, its affordability, high-quality cabin, and practical design make it a compelling choice for budget-conscious families. It offers a strong challenge to rivals by delivering significant space and finish for a lower price point.
