Other models you may be interested in

If you can’t resist the lure of a German car, both the VW Passat Estate with its impressive boot space and BMW 3 Series Touring with its sharp handling will undoubtedly impress.

Citroen C5 X FAQs
The Citroen C5 X comes in one form only – a large five-seat, five-door estate car with a hatchback-style boot lid. You'll spot chunky plastic cladding and a slightly raised ride height, however, giving the big Citroen some SUV style.
If you like the sound of a spacious cruiser with plenty of French style, consider cross-shopping the C5 X against cars like the Citroen C5 Aircross SUV, the Peugeot 508 or the DS 9 saloon.
With lots of families flocking to large SUVs, big estates like the C5 X are becoming more of a rarity. It measures in at a nudge over 4.8 metres long – outstripping the 4.5-metre C5 Aircross SUV and beating the Peugeot 508 by a few millimetres, but falling short of the 4.9-metre DS 9. Compared to similar cars from other automaker groups, the C5 X is a few millimetres longer than a BMW 3 Series and a fraction shorter than the Skoda Superb.
All models get all-round parking sensors and a reversing camera, however, so parking shouldn't be too much of a challenge once you've found a space big enough.
The big footprint means a big cabin, with loads of passenger space for front and rear occupants. You'll also find a respectable 545-litre cargo area, which you can load all the way to the roof thanks to the C5 X's estate profile.
There are just three C5 X engine options to choose from – a 1.2-litre turbo petrol with 130hp, a 1.6-litre with 180hp and a plug-in hybrid with 225hp. All versions include an automatic gearbox as standard.
We reckon your best bets are at either end of the range. You could save money and choose the affordable 1.2-litre car – it has plenty of grunt for most driving situations, including longer motorway trips.
The mid-range 1.6-litre petrol is rare on the used market and doesn't represent much of an increase in performance over the smaller unit so, for most buyers, it's probably not worth the upgrade.
At the top of the range, the plug-in hybrid has a few aces up its sleeve. It has the most power for insistent acceleration – it can travel more than 30 miles on electric power alone – and you might see north of 180mpg if you recharge the battery regularly.
The C5 X is one of the newest cars in the French company's lineup, but no large-scale problems have emerged in the time it's been on sale.
Its engines are widely used across the Stellantis group in Citroen, Peugeot, Vauxhall and DS models, with few complaints about their dependability. This also means service and replacement parts should be easy to source.
For the greatest peace of mind, consider adding an extended warranty, which kicks in once the factory coverage expires. This will protect you from the cost of unexpected mechanical or electrical failures.
