Citroen C5 X (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very practical interior	Plug-in hybrid could be smoother
Good value	Infotainment can be clunky
Excellent ride comfort	No diesel option

Quick Summary

The Citroen C5 X (2022-present) is a distinctive family car that blends the style of an executive estate with the rugged looks of an SUV. It aims to offer a comfortable and practical alternative to conventional estates and the crowded family SUV market. Inside, it boasts a spacious cabin with broad, cushioned 'advanced comfort' seats and a huge boot, offering 545 litres in petrol models and a still-generous 485 litres in the plug-in hybrid. It’s well-equipped even from the entry-level trim.

Where the C5 X truly excels is in ride comfort, with its 'Advanced Comfort Suspension' delivering a limo-like, wafty ride. However, this focus on comfort means it’s not an engaging car to drive enthusiastically. The petrol engines can be noisy when pushed, and overall performance is average rather than exciting. Running costs are competitive, thanks to keen pricing and healthy depreciation. The plug-in hybrid is best suited to those who can charge regularly to make the most of its 34-mile electric range, while the 1.2-litre petrol offers a good blend of performance and economy.

Best for: Drivers who prioritise supreme ride comfort, practicality, and distinctive styling over a sporty driving experience, and those looking for good value and generous standard kit.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking an engaging drive, the quietest engines, or the most polished infotainment system. Also, not for those who require a diesel engine.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the C5 X if: You want a car with standout styling, a supremely comfortable ride, and a highly practical interior with a huge boot.

Consider alternatives if: You want a fun-to-drive car, a refined and quiet powertrain, or a slick, premium infotainment system.

Competitive Position: The Citroen C5 X is a charming and refreshing alternative in a market dominated by conventional SUVs. It stands out with its excellent ride comfort, practicality, and value. While it can’t match rivals like the Cupra Formentor for driving fun or the VW Passat for overall polish, its unique blend of qualities makes it a thoroughly likeable and recommendable family car for those who appreciate its comfort-first approach.
