6. Driving & Comfort

Driving & Comfort Assessment

Performance Score5.0/10
Comfort Score7.5/10

City Driving

Manual gearbox requires more effort in heavy traffic, but offers good control. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Excellent ground clearance handles speed breakers and potholes with ease.

Highway Performance

Strong diesel torque of 400 Nm makes highway driving relaxed, especially in higher gears.

Ride & Comfort

Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. High ground clearance gives confidence over rough patches and unpaved roads. Premium cabin insulation keeps NVH levels low for a refined experience. 350L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.

"Citroen C5 Aircross Need Time To Adjust: Citroen C5 Aircross. still requires some time to adjust in the Indian market. Though its style and looks are quite charming and attractive people are a little hesitant about the new brand. The same thing happened to me, that is why I can understand but Citroen C5 is an amazing car."

"Citroen C5 Is The Most Stylish And Luxurious Car: Citroen C5 is the most stylish car ever designed, and its looks are just awe-stunning. It is a feature-rich car and has good 1997cc engine refinement. Citroen has added all the comfort and space in C5. Excellent boot space of 580 liters with luxurious high-speed drive quality, smooth and soft gear touch."

"The Citroen C5 Aircross Has Always Had An Odd Appearance: It's attractive yet odd. Citroen hasn't really tinkered with that recipe much, even with the facelift. But substantial alterations to the car's aluminum panels further enhance its appearance. The single-piece wrap-around headlights that diverge at the outer borders have a neater design in place of the layered split-headlamp appearance of the pre-facelift model."

"Citroen's Superb Advanced Comfort: The chairs are quite comfy due to the high-density foam bolstering and soft foam tips.  The driver's seat can be readily adjusted by backseat passengers.  Citroen's superb Advanced Comfort seats provide the perfect amount of support.  The panoramic sunroof increases the cabin's space."

"This Is The Best SUV Ever- Citroen C5: When I first saw the Citroen C5 I was stunned this car is awesome. Its body frame is very sturdy and its design is also so good that it attracts anyone to itself. I have made up my mind to buy this car. I am saving a little to buy this car because its price is around 36.67 Lakhs. I am going to take a test drive of this car very soon."

"Over Priced And Over Hyped.: Already it has launched with over price and again the price has hiked which helps the company to shut off in India. Waiting for facelifted Tuscon."

"Exceptional Car With Little Misses.: We have purchased Citroen C5 Aircross in Dec 2021 and found it an excellent car. The looks and style are absolutely stunning, took it for a couple of 300+ KM rides and the ride quality is exceptional. It comes with a whole list of features, some are really good some are just there. On the downside, the price is a bit on the higher side but if you can afford it you can go for it. Other small issues are, this car was basically a right-hand drive car converted to a left-hand drive for India, which left the big fuse box in the glove box on the dashboard, which basically leaves that glovebox unusable, however, it's well compensated by the space given at driver side glovebox.  On the rear row, you have 3 separate seats, which means you won't get the armrest on the rear seats, which is kinda missing. But if you ignore these small misses, C5 is an exceptional car and right there in the league of other premium luxury SUVs."

"Fantastic Car: Overall fantastic deal. I like the style of its interior. Although it is an expensive package, the quality of material used in the car justifies its price. I wish people will like the car and understand the difference between luxury cars and other cars. I am happy to be a part of the Citroen team."

"Citroen C5 Has Great Features: Keeping your comfort in mind, the Citroen C5 offers a lot of great features. So that you can travel long distances with ease. This car also gives you good mileage. In this car, you get a huge boot space, so you can carry a lot of luggage in it. The car has a good presence on the road."

"Funny Interior: Every manufacturer looking to attract customers with good design but this is a very funny interior design, especially that "seat" it looks made in the 17th century. I think wooden chairs are best than that. Another funny fact is it costs 35 lakhs "oh my god I can buy two best SUVs with this money."

"Citroen C5 Has Good Space: The Citroen C5 Aircross has been given a makeover, which includes changes to the external styling and an improved feature set. Unquestionably, this SUV feels like a breath of fresh air. Because of the cozy/spacious interior, strong transmission, and compliant ride quality, it leans more toward comfortable motoring overall."

"Smooth And Modern: It is one of the smoothest and nicest driving SUVs to have tested so far but the roof-touching price is a concern for Citroen to have a business in India. Amazing leg space and head space in all the rows, major changes can be noticed with buttons and screens to give it a more modern and sweet look to the car."

"Best Car Under 40 Lakh: For those crying over the price or lack of features, I wonder how many of you actually drove this car. If you did, you will know that it is worth every penny. It has all the relevant features a great car should have and a ride quality that rivals the German big 3 which are a good 20 Lakhs costlier. Looks amazing. If your idea of a car includes useless gimmicky features like mood lighting and wireless charging please look elsewhere. If you want to experience a true blue European car with solid build and ride, what a car is meant to do - it can't get better than a C5 Aircross at a 40L budget."
