CITROEN C5X Review | 3 cars in 1.

- čas přidán 3. 06. 2024
- Big Citroen's are back. Say hello to the French brand's flagship model, which we reckon offers you three cars for the price of one. It's been a while since the brand launched a large, upmarket model, mainly because the plush DS brand harks from the same company.
But the C5X's clever packaging, sumptuous ride and stand-out styling means it offers something a little different. Howard sets about finding out exactly what in his full review. Should you get one of these instead of a Peugeot 5008?

I've owned this car for about 2 years, 180 PS non-hybrid. What I can say is that it's an excellent and very comfortable car for its money (got it new for 32k euro). The only thing that disappointed me is that despite having a fully heated windshield, the wiper area for some reason does not heat up and the standard rubber floor mats don't hold water, allowing it to seep underneath.
There was also a factory defect with the control unit, but it was replaced under warranty.
Other than that, there have been no problems in 2 years, and nothing in the interior squeaks.
For 28k price car, I think interior materials is superb! Better than 40-60k car price. Also the quietness is superb
Very interesting review Howard looks like a great value car
Mine have always been totally reliable. So a good car ..well done Citroen
Actually try one..have the hybrid... absolutely superb..as for looks,only car I've had (except for my previous Kia Proceed GtlineS) thst has received nothing but compliments.
Suggest see and try it in the flesh.
19,000 miles average mpg 112...
I enjoyed the review. Thank you sir!
Your review is just like Citroen's quirky but thoroughly enjoyable
Nice review, subscribed…
I have no interest in Citroens but Howard Richie makes me want one
I just bought it 180hp Petrol , with 2300 mileage, almost new for 25k :DX comfort is next level.
Love this but I don’t know why they didn’t use the 155bhp 1.2 instead of the 130bhp
Cool car and a bit different.... like it😊
You Tested the PHEV. This has an 1.8L 4 cylinder 180HP enginde and a 110 HP electric engine. Combined it has 225HP.
Will buy one of these when they are a year old at car supermarkets, great value then. I did the same with the new C4 great price when a year old due to depreciation
It certainly looks the part. Quirky and stylish, like a big lemon should do.
Shame its made in china strange when the Peugeot 408 is made in france.
It's 3 cars in 1, is it? _"OIL"_ believe that when I've watched the video in full 8-))...
Dear Howard. Aka _"Aleksandr Scriabin"._
Where can you get one of these PHEV Citroens with a 1.2l engine that costs about £28k brand new?
The 1.2l engine is only in the petrol version. The PHEV engine is a 1.6l.
And as for actually getting a PHEV that's new for £28k, me thinks you may have been smoking something that's... _Not quite legal?_
_However..._ You can get the 1.2l petrol only car for under £28k.
Though it only has 127 bhp and that'll take a wheezy 10.4 seconds to hit 60 and by then, I'd have given up all hope. 😴💤💤💤
Though it's a nice car and I do like Citroen's quirkiness, I still do not see the point of a PHEV. What happens when you run out of "E" after 50 odd miles?
Great video as always.
The Z.
1.2l engine for this monstrosity!
It’s basically the same engine as the Ford eco boom engine . Stellantis and Ford joint design .
Litres don't matter any more . It's about power now ...well since about 10 years ago ...
This is the PHEV and has an 1.8L engine with a combined power of 225HP. The presenter got it wrong
Looks odd and likely to be unreliable and have poor resale.
A very good reason for a two year, under warranty, lease!
Got one, very reliable, super comfortable and spacious. Ride comfort best car I have been in. Resale value is holding up well for petrol version I have, less so for hybrid version consistent with wider market.
Ooh its everything I hate about a car looks terrible and will be just north of JLR on reliability and it like JLR will be worthless after 3 years avoid like the plague
And that is why you lease it and why the lease is cheap. If you hang around a little you’ll get one for under £200/month (about the same as a Polo). Don’t believe me? LeaseLoco had the Peugeot equivalent for £190/month just a few weeks ago.
