NEW Citroen C5 X PHEV Review: The Pothole Beater That's Also A Great Family Car!

Great review. Does the ride differ in the non-hybrid version?

[@cinch]

Thanks! It does; it’s even softer 👌🏼

[@planestrainsdogsncars4336]

@@cinch Umm I think you may have meant the opposite there...the hybrid reads the road for the best ride.....the non hybrid doesn't have that feature.

[@peterpluim7912]

It actually is. The active suspension is only needed to compensate for the weight of the battery. I’ve driven both

[@enricio]

This floating feeling, like a boat, is recognisable. It does ride nicely. 👌🌈✨☺️🤸😎

[@aurelienvincent1575]

Nice and honest review

[@cinch]

Thanks 😆

What percentage of cars carry adults in the back?

[@fishermansfriend6197]

Imagine if BMW is equipped with this Citroen suspension.... My dream car is BMW 530 xdrive touring Cross Country with Citroen suspension and Ground clearance 250 mm. Then there will be no bad roads :)

[@cinch]

Oh that would be lovely. Like driving in your bed! If your bed had 250hp 😆

[@stephenberry8658]

The last thing I would want is a German car trying to be French... French comfort and style versus go fast boy racer with Teutonic firmness..

[@toyotaprius79]

Should be a full EV option ❤

[@cinch]

It would be nice to have that option especially if it further improves comfort /Jamil

@@cinch might I add, a sub or entry level PHEV with a 1.0l turbo 3 cylinder instead of the 1.6l 4 cyl seems also out of place

[@cinch]

Interesting. What draws you to the turbo 3-cylinder? /Jamil

[@ronpower7790]

Haven't driven one yet, but did sit in one. It's a bit claustrophobic due to the narrow window line... especially coming from an SUV/Crossover. One thing I have to really dig deeper, when I make a test drive, is the seating position. It doesn't have the range of seat/steering adjustment that an Audi A4 or BMW 3series has. This could be a problem for tall people in the longer run. I was sitting either to far away from the steering or my legs where too angled. I couldn't find a perfect seating position like I can easily find in the aforementioned cars.

[@cinch]

Thanks for the added impressions, Ron! How tall are you? Sam's just under 6 foot (182cm) and he reckoned he was a good fit. But he's more accustomed to the seating position of a saloon 😀

[@ronpower7790]

@@cinch Im 1,87 cm with rather long legs.

[@toyotaprius79]

What you're describing is the Italian driver position. Stellantis aka FCA, makes sense...
