2023 Citroen C5X Hybrid Review: How to BEAT the Germans!

[@TechInTheCar]

Does the C5X suprise you?

[@mgkole]

I think it looks awesome!

[@jonjones6583]

Thank you Oliver for a clearly presented review on the French vehicle. Definitely getting one my bones rattle over our uneven uK roads😢

[@TechInTheCar]

Glad it was helpful!

A fantastic French vehicle made in China. Great to see Citroen are going above and beyond many other brands to bring a comfortable driving experience that a Rolls Royce could easily match. I have heard that Rolls Royce use this suspension system or is that from the old days of the SM or CX of old ? Can someone tell me what the maximum towing capacity this C5X can tow please? Thanks.

08:15 Mate, not 180hp in 3Cyl 1,2 puretech, 130ks goes in to 3Cyl. 180hp goes in 4cyl 1,6ccm engine 🙄

You should be my editor! You are correct!

@@TechInTheCar tnx ☺

Looking forward to Aussi arrival

Save your money. The 1.2 Puretech 130 bhp has plenty of performance and excellent fuel economy. Adaptive suspension does give that magic carpet ride, but the other models do not have it and it is not even an option.

[@frankrudd6346]

Not a lot of good if you want to tow a caravan though

[@andersnielsen6044]

But the 1.2 petrol basic version is like €10.000 euro more expensive than the hybrid version full loaded..

[@MrAnonimowo]

I like a lot!

[@TechInTheCar]

I agree!

I do like my C5X, however what really niggles me is Citroen yet again doing one over the British. In addition to the usual fusebox in the glove box, which they can't be arsed to move to the driver's side: The additional controls that they added to inner side of front passenger seat on LH drive models to allow driver and rear passengers to adjust its position, we're not deemed worthy to have them. The ambient strip light stretching from door to door along middle of dash that's fitted on LH models, you guessed it... I must possess a certain amount of madness for being loyal to Citroen over many years when they treat us with so little respect. Other European countries receive a 5 year warranty where we receive the obligatory three! I've decided, my next car will be German!

[@TechInTheCar]

The Germans do the same thing, the cars are missing standard or optional features in the rest of Europe. Doesn’t matter how expensive the car is.

[@sharonec5419]

€42,370 in Ireland :( for one.

[@andersnielsen6044]

When the French start sending cars on the market that will run for 10 year with no break down and/or endless workshop days they will be taken serious.
