  • Transmission : Automatic
  • Drive Type : Front-Wheel Drive
  • Power HP : 145 HP
  • Consumption L/100km : 5.10 L

Design & Presence

The Citroën C5 X presents a deliberately different silhouette that blends a low-slung saloon, a stretched estate and a hint of crossover attitude — a look that reads more elegant than chunky SUV. Its generous footprint and long roofline (at about 4805 mm) give it a planted, premium stance that works well in town and on the motorway. The current range leans heavily on the mild‑hybrid formula, notably the Hybrid 145 Petrol MHEV automatic front‑wheel‑drive which pairs 145 hp with a claimed 5.1 L/100 km consumption to underline the efficiency-focused design direction.

Interior & Usability

The cabin favours comfort and calm: broad seats, a relaxed seating position for five and a dashboard that prioritises ergonomics over gadget overload. Soft-touch surfaces and thoughtful padding are evident where hands rest, though some lower trims still use firmer plastics around the doors and centre console. Controls are arranged to keep the most-used functions accessible, and the overall ambience leans toward long-haul friendliness rather than sporty drama.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Practicality is a strong suit: boot capacity sits at a useful 545 litres with the rear seats up and expands to 1640 litres with them folded, making the C5 X a genuine family hauler. The long wheelbase translates to good rear legroom and a comfortable three-abreast rear bench for shorter trips, while the 399 kg payload figure and roofline mean equipment and luggage load without drama. In day-to-day life that means two large suitcases plus soft bags in the boot, easy supermarket runs, and weekend gear for four without constant Tetris.

Driving & Handling

The powertrain is a 1.2‑litre, three‑cylinder MHEV delivering 145 hp and 230 Nm, paired to a dual‑clutch automatic and front‑wheel drive; 0–100 km/h takes about 10.4 seconds, so performance is competent rather than sporty. The chassis is tuned for composure: suspension soaks up ruts and long motorway miles with ease, while the steering is light and confidence‑focused rather than sharp, reflecting a bias toward comfort over corner carving. The kerb weight of around 1591 kg is noticeable during enthusiastic driving, but the package feels assured and predictable for everyday use.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Official combined consumption sits around 5.1 L/100 km with CO2 emissions near 116 g/km, figures that translate to real-world frugality on steady motorway cruises and mixed commuting. With a 52‑litre tank the theoretical combined range exceeds 1,000 km, although urban driving and heavier loads will reduce that number — expect nearer to 800–900 km in varied use. As a mild‑hybrid, it provides start‑stop and torque‑fill benefits but no pure‑electric driving mode, so fuel is still doing the heavy lifting on short runs.

Assistance & Infotainment

The C5 X offers a modern suite of driver aids and connectivity designed for relaxed driving and safety, with adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping functions and blind‑spot help commonly available across the range. The cockpit centres on a sizeable touchscreen and a clear driver display that handle navigation and smartphone mirroring, keeping daily operation straightforward. Overall the tech package aims to reduce stress on long drives rather than dazzle with gimmicks.

Who is it for?

The C5 X suits buyers who prioritise long-distance comfort, stylish differentiation from the ubiquitous SUV and generous luggage space without stepping up to a large estate. It is aimed at families and frequent motorway travellers who want a composed ride, efficient running costs and a distinctive look, rather than drivers seeking sporty dynamics or maximum towing grunt. With its comfortable seats, usable boot and efficient MHEV setup, the C5 X is a sensible choice for those valuing comfort and practicality wrapped in a statement design.
