Which is the most popular engine in the Citroen C5 Aircross?

The petrol engines have been more popular than the diesel, but only by a small margin. In the coming years, it's possible that the hybrid motors will become more popular.

Which are the most popular model variants?

The newest lineup consists of Plus, Max and e-series, while older models have included Feel, Flair and Flair Plus. The mid-range Flair has been among the most popular, with added safety features such as adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Customers should look out for heated front seats, which provide more comfort on cold mornings, while the panoramic opening glass roof gives the cabin more natural light. There's also an available City Camera Pack with a reversing camera that uses Top Rear Vision for added capability.

Is the Citroen C5 Aircross a good family car?

Yes, the C5 Aircross provides room to hold up to five people with plenty of headroom and legroom for taller passengers. There's also an adjustable boot space that beats the Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi Q3.

Is there a hybrid version of the Citroen C5 Aircross?

Yes, there are two hybrid options with the C5 Aircross. The self-charging Hybrid 136 is quite efficient with a rating of 53.3mpg. However, the plug-in hybrid is the fastest with a 0-62mph time of 8.7 seconds and it offers up to 36 miles of electric-only driving per charge.

Is the Citroen C5 Aircross available as an automatic?

Citroen has made the C5 Aircross with both an automatic and a manual gearbox. They are both equally popular, so there is no issue finding either among used models.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

As with most crossovers in this segment, the C5 Aircross is only available with front-wheel drive. This capability is sufficient for everyday driving and it helps the Citroen SUV to remain highly fuel efficient.

Used Citroen C5 Aircross buying guide

Engines and transmissions

Offering a multitude of options, Citroen has built the C5 Aircross with petrol, diesel and hybrid engines, paired to either a manual or an automatic gearbox and standard front-wheel drive.

Petrol

127bhp PureTech entry-level engine has a 0-62mph time of 10.3 seconds and an efficiency rating of up to 48.9mpg.
Hybrid 136 (self-charging) generates 134bhp and increases the efficiency to up to 53.3mpg.
Plug-in hybrid includes a 14.2kWh battery with an 80kW electric motor, which produces a combined 220bhp and gives it the fastest 0-62mph time of 8.7 seconds, with up to 36 miles of electric-only driving per charge.

Diesel

1.5-litre BlueHDi produces 127bhp, giving it a 0-62mph time of 10.6 seconds, and it has an efficiency rating of over 55mpg.
Earlier 2.0-litre BlueHDi had an output of 174bhp and achieved a fuel economy rating of 47.3mpg.

Practicality

The C5 Aircross is a great family vehicle with a large number of practical features and lots of usable space.

Interior space

Driver's seat offers adjustability for a good position, and the steering wheel can also be moved.
Adults can fit in the rear seat, but the middle seat is perched higher, so it's not a good option for tall passengers.
ISOFIX points are easy to access and make child seat installation easier.

Boot space

580-litre boot can expand to 720 litres with the rear seat slid forward, beating the Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi Q3.
Plug-in hybrid has less boot space (460 and 600 litres) because of the batteries under the floor.
Folding rear seats provide up to 1,510 litres of space.

Safety

2019 Euro NCAP rating is four out of five stars.
Adult and child occupant ratings are 87% and 86%, respectively.
Standard kit includes several airbags, lane departure warning and automatic braking system.

Technology

10.0-inch infotainment touchscreen display was released with a facelift in 2022.
Connecting the phone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is a breeze.
12.3-inch digital driver's display is configurable for varying data points.

* Telephone numbers starting with 084X or 087X will cost you up to 13p per minute plus your telephone company's access charge. Calls to other telephone numbers will only cost your phone company's access charge.
