Citroën C5 Aircross 1.5 BlueHDi Sense Plus 5dr EAT8 Review

The model
Read full reviewThe C5 Aircross is a great-value large SUV that majors on comfort and refinement, but also offers flexible and frugal engines, versatile seating, a big boot and a decent amount of kit. Don't buy it if you want a plush interior, agile handling or seven seats, though, because its bigger sibling, the Peugeot 5008, and the Kia Sorento do those things rather better.
The trim
See full equipmentThe entry-level trim keeps costs to a minimum but still gives you loads of standard kit, including 18in alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, automatic windscreen wipers, dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, keyless entry and start, a 12.5in customisable digital driver display and a 10in touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, Bluetooth, built-in sat nav and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring. The only slight demerit is that you can't have this trim with the plug-in hybrid engine.
The engine
See full engine specsIf you’re planning to use your Citroën C5 Aircross for towing a caravan or boat, the BlueHDi 130 will be the one for you. It has the same power as the petrol-powered Puretech 130 but the extra low down shove means it’ll make progress with a full load far more effortlessly.
