The new Citroen C5 Aircross Hybrid is a breath of fresh air in the SUV market, focusing on passenger comfort and practicality. As I cruised through the Chilterns countryside, it became clear that this vehicle isn’t just about driving—it’s about making every ride enjoyable.
Key Takeaways
- Air suspension delivers a smooth ride over bumpy roads
- Fuel efficiency and decent performance make it practical for daily use
- The interior is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with safety features
This mild-hybrid version of the C5 Aircross offers impressive fuel economy while maintaining a balance between power and eco-friendliness. With its 145hp engine paired with an electric motor, it’s got enough pep to keep you moving without breaking the bank.
But what really sets this SUV apart is its Advanced Comfort suspension system. Designed to absorb road imperfections like a pro, it turns every drive into a serene experience—even on British roads notorious for their potholes and bumps.
The C5 Aircross Hybrid 145 also boasts an impressive interior that’s spacious enough for everyone in your family or crew. With plenty of legroom and headroom, you won’t feel cramped even during long journeys. And let’s not forget the thoughtful touches like a large touchscreen infotainment system.
However, it doesn’t come cheap at £30,495 starting price for the You! spec model. But considering its features and comfort level, many will find this mild-hybrid version to be the ideal choice over other options in Citroen’s lineup or competing brands like Dacia.
