Reviewed a 2020 Citroen C5 Aircross on 2 Aug 2023
Chose this over the Karok even though 3 people said no. You either love the styling or you dont. Extremely comfortable and economical. Loads of tech as you would expect with Citroën . Great value all round.

Citroën C5 Aircross (2026) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Huge space for people and luggage | Really lacklustre to drive |
| Smart-feeling interior | Poor performance in the hybrid |
| Well-thought-out touchscreen | Refinement isn't great |
Quick Summary
The Citroën C5 Aircross is a down-to-earth family SUV that prioritises space and practicality above all else. This second-generation model has grown in size, now offering a cavernous 651-litre boot with a clever double-height floor and genuinely spacious rear seating. The interior feels upmarket with its floating touchscreen, soft-touch materials, and intuitive climate controls. At just over £30,000, it represents exceptional value compared to rivals like the Volkswagen Tiguan, which costs significantly more for similar boot space.
However, the C5 Aircross disappoints behind the wheel. The entry-level 1.2-litre hybrid engine is underpowered with a sluggish 11.2-second 0-62mph time, whilst the ride quality feels jittery and unsettled. The three-cylinder engine becomes raucous under load, and the automatic gearbox hunts for power. Running costs are reasonable, with expected fuel economy of 40-45mpg and service intervals of 16,000 miles. This is a car that excels on paper but feels strained and mediocre in real-world driving.
Best for: Families prioritising space and value, those seeking a well-equipped interior, and buyers willing to sacrifice driving enjoyment for practicality.
Not ideal for: Drivers seeking engaging handling, responsive performance, or a refined driving experience, or those who value refinement and smoothness.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Citroën C5 Aircross | 3/5 | 5.0/5 | 41.0% | 4.3/5 |
| Kia Sportage | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 38.8% | 4.5/5 |
| Chery Tiggo 7 | 4/5 | N/A | 61.5% | 4.0/5 |
| Skoda Kodiaq | 4/5 | 4.8/5 | 44.1% | 4.5/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the C5 Aircross if: You prioritise space and value, seek a well-equipped interior, and are willing to sacrifice driving enjoyment for practicality and affordability.
Consider alternatives if: You value engaging handling, responsive performance, or a refined driving experience, or require smoothness and refinement.
Competitive Position: The Citroën C5 Aircross is a strong contender for families seeking maximum space and value. Whilst the Kia Sportage and Skoda Kodiaq offer superior driving dynamics and refinement, the C5 Aircross undercuts them significantly on price whilst delivering a more spacious interior. The Chery Tiggo 7 offers exceptional value, but the Citroën's superior build quality and user ratings make it the more reliable choice. For budget-conscious families willing to compromise on driving experience, the C5 Aircross remains an excellent proposition.
