Citroen C5 X 2022 // finally big eccentric cars are back in fashion

[@torresalex]

Finally, a proper review of the C5 x

[@peterurquhart7191]

The best looking Citroen for year’s 😍 it make a nice change from the German brand’s.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Yes indeed!

[@saif1002]

German cars are too firm and the seats are hard like wood I need a Citroen

[@hungvu6705]

No matter what these cars are, every review of Bob just gives me flashback when I first watched you years ago. As a car lover, I have learnt lot from you and just wanna say thanks for being my favourite younger year youtuber Bob.

[@conorhanley9009]

This looks a lovely comfortable relaxing drive I wonder what the price will be here In Ireland 🇮🇪 excellent review as always

[@victorob71]

That's an excellent review bob from the music to the camera work and then a little bit of drive an excellent watch look forward to the next video stay Bob Flavin 👍

[@AdrianMcDaid]

If your referring to outside camera work with car driving. Believe that B roll . Nice review

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Kuriatz]

Lovely review Bob, thank you!

[@gib321]

Beautiful car and side on it looks similar to its cousin the previous generation DS5.

[@dgbservices6049]

Nice car. Reminds me of an old Bx from the 80s which I also liked! Thanks for the review Bob, very informative! 👍

[@toyotaprius79]

I've seen a BX driving a month ago, right beside a Prius in Dublin, near Ballybrack, and the similarities are uncanny.

[@dgbservices6049]

That’s the Japanese for you… 😉

[@Rapscallion2009]

I like this - it's different. I've seen a lot of cars recently that I thought "that might do", but I actually like this because someone's made actual effort with it. It's not even ruinously expensive for it's size and spec.

[@Muushondje]

What a superb review Bob, of this fantastic grande voiture !

[@bergatube60]

Hi, thanks for this review, been a Citroen owner all my life, except for a 4 year period with a Volvo, nice car but always in the repair shop. Now I drive the C5, a wonderfull car and very reliable, the C5X seems to be a natural follow up with the same "flying carpet" feeling, and a modernization. of the exterior and interior. Like my C5 IIÍ's appearance, the C5X maybe a little overdone but that is the modern way, I suppose. A little more subtle down-toned exterior, but a Citroen is a Citroen, craves habituation. I like it and fully electric, I would buy it❤

[@michaelstaunton1632]

An interesting and informative video on the car well done keep up the good work on your channel 👍👍

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bondjamesbond9041]

We buy far too many items from China and are too dependent on Chinese made goods. This is made in China and for that reason along with some BMW's, Mercedes Benz and VW group cars should be avoided. This car should be manufactured in France or at the very least in a European country.

[@flinch9748]

The more i see it, the more I appreciate it. Would love to buy one

[@torresalex]

That Mitsubishi Montero around the 10:09 Mark, that's a Pajero in other markets. However, in Spanish, "Pajero" means literally "wanker", so they changed the car's name in Spanish-speaking countries

[@KingBanter]

I’d forgotten about that!! Think I heard that about 20 years ago!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Top spot for you, nothing like a bit of trivia knowledge!

[@kevinmacleod6761]

My ex wife is from Asturias in the north of Spain. Many years ago when we were still together, one of my neighbours here in the Highlands of Scotland bought an old Mitsubishi Pajero. My ex could not stop laughing when she saw it. We ended up having to explain to him why she found his car so funny.

[@tyraela115]

@@BobFlavinVideo Another bit of interesting trivia. I`m sure you`re familiar with Ford Kuga. Well I`m from Slovenia and kuga in our language means plague (check it in google translate if you don`t believe me). And unlike Spain which has about 40 milion people to my knowledge + tens of milions of people in Latin America that speak Spanish = big markets Slovenia only has 2 milion people so Ford just didn`t bother renaming the car for our market. So anyone that buys Forg Kuga in our country buys basically Ford Plague. I should point out that unlike Ford Renault cares about these things (in our country atleast) to the extent that the`ve renamed the new Arkana model Megane Conquest just because Megane is despite it`s age still quite popular car in our country. How is that for a bit of trivia knowledge.😉

[@mendistudio]

Just told him the same 🤣🤣🤣. That’s exactly on point!

[@ericrochford3134]

Nice editing Bob!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Thanks!

[@sevesellors2831]

Beautiful car great review.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Thank you 🙏

[@michealofloinn2539]

I like the design stance. A lifted up estate and maybe an SUV alternative.

[@toyotaprius79]

Estates 15-25 years ago were dominated by SUVs and CUVs because they couldn't fly over ramps. Thankfully the CX5 could tackle that market.

[@seamushadrill2415]

Fab looking car. When is it being released for sale in Ireland. Any idea on how much it’ll cost?

[@BobFlavinVideo]

No prices yet but it’ll be here in late June

[@seamushadrill2415]

@@BobFlavinVideo thanks

[@fredericducomet.boquier7920]

As a french I think it will be a success ! Citroën deserve it with this proposition no SUV type ! Thanks 🙏♥️

[@Shadow-jo5yf]

Wow, I like it, the rear kind of reminds me of a porshe

[@kph1034]

Great review as akways

[@LambdaWave84]

I would have loved a fully electric version of this.

[@toyotaprius79]

I think they have one in development, especially with more stringent, upcoming emissions regulations.

[@KingBanter]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it had a crazy wing on the back of it!!!

[@BobFlavinVideo]

It's a Citroen, the wing might be an option!

Amen…..a supple suspension on a family car. How crazily wonderful is that??!!!

Great review.

Thank you!

Very nice bob thanks

[@siviter]

In top of the range Hybrid trim. The D.S4, C5X and 308 are all about the same price. Which would you recommend?

[@Hattonbank]

He says that nothing protrudes above eye level, so what is that screen sticking up from the fascia?

[@mikemeehan7301]

Is the citreon much difference in size than a Mondeo vignale ?

[@mohammadalhdrami1008]

mr bob how is it after 5 year imeen in used

[@downburst1]

When is it available in Ireland and can we get the ice 180?

[@rabit818]

The side profile is great of the CX. Front and the rear I a little too busy especially the light configuration and shape.

[@kph1034]

'Sit there like a gobshite' 😂😂😂

[@peterlocher]

What Did you mean when you said: it got some developement to do before it hit`s the road? It`s not a prototype?

[@Trevorfoggia]

Hello Bob, nice review. Any idea when you will be doing a review on the new Citroen C5 Aircross please? Greetings from Cumbria in the northwest of England. Stay safe and well.

[@robertmulhall6823]

I have been looking forward to this one Bob!

[@charliewax846]

Hi Bob, great review! Would you be able to recall at what stage on the motorway does the petrol engine kick in? Also if you’re driving in petrol mode while on motorway, can you recharge electric motor and can you use regenerative braking with electric motors whilst in petrol mode? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@modmod392]

I believe 81km/h

[@morecoffee998]

Will there be a diesel? Looks like the perfect motorway cruiser, but the PHEV, apart from the horsepower, hasn't convinced me yet. You get 300 kg more weight in the car and probably a smaller fuel tank, which isn't ideal for those of us who do a lot of motorway driving, which is unfortunate, because the rest of the car seems absolutely perfect for it.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

There won’t be a diesel version of the car only the ones in the video and the forthcoming electric version. I don’t think we’re going to get to many more diesels in the future unless it’s from Mazda

[@morecoffee998]

@@BobFlavinVideo I am going to miss having 1100 - 1200 kilometres of range in a normal family car Last generation of the C5 had a tank capacity of 71L, this new hybrid can hold 40L and the NA has 53L. It's just not enough. It's the same reason why I didn't get a Talisman, which has a capacity of 45L.

[@Hattonbank]

I agree. I have had C5 diesels for over10 years doing 250,000 miles in them and they always had a range of 700 plus miles, and 45-48mpg. Thus version will do 400 miles and if you are lucky, 40mpg. Oh! And it is made in China.

[@ptolamaustittan]

I love the citron brand and always will . To give you a heads up thank you for explaining all that needs to be said but for me the camera work here was great for not using a wide angled ( fish eyed lens ) The world isn't rounded in arcs everywhere so no need to show this vision on a video . That's not how humanity sees things unlike NASA who can't help themselves even at 30,000 feet and we have curvature on land that's not what the eye sees . So great job at giving us all good video without looking like I need to have my eyes checked .

[@mendistudio]

Nice review indeed! Bob I’ll tell you why we call “Montero” the Mitsubishi “Pajero”. Pajero means “wanker” so as you can imagine it didn’t sell quite well 🤣🤣 - just saw someone else explained already 😅

[@onearthonelegion]

I would buy Mitsubishi Onanist

[@aleksandar5174]

What's the fuel consumption?

[@michaelnicola5210]

I want this car badly and only hope it will be offered as an EV soon.

[@David-bl1bt]

What's happened to the Sunday service?

[@darlonanacleto]

Awesome review. I usually hate brittish reviews and their annoyance towards french cars, always picking small thing to ruin the reputation of awesome cars such as this one.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Thankfully I’m Irish ☘️ 😂

[@vs6300]

They have already received their reward - all their flagship brands are now owned by foreigners including former colonial subjects.

[@brendanjburns2969]

Lovely car Bob , any prices yer.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

No pricing announced by Irish PR as yet other than it’s going to be competitively priced 🤨

[@brendanjburns2969]

I checked the UK prices £26 so I think prices here in Ireland could be €34.000 plus.

[@asianskywalker]

i'de consider one if they were more reliable. Think i'll still to my Lexus for now.

[@alexanderstefanov6474]

I like it but the decision to not offer any diesel engines is a mistake imho. The latest diesel engines are cleaner than DI petrol and offer real world economy. This car with a 2.0 biturbo HDI and the adaptive dampers would have been the bomb

[@bonobobob]

Looks like a Porsche pannamera

[@eddyvanderstraeten2522]

Top car

[@mlann2333]

Can't see me ever buying a Citroen again after my C4 1.6hdi went through 2 engines and eventually sold it to a guy who was going to put a third one in it.

[@deonellis8577]

I drove 2...and said "Never again!!!" Nothing from PSA for me!

[@nervozzzza]

This car would be fantastic with 2.0 diesel, but sadly greenwashing killed diesel engines...

[@toyotaprius79]

Has it ever went out of fashion, but rather buyers have lost taste over the last half of the decade?

[@ram64man]

Who designed that rear section it’s awfully s looks like an estates been sat on by an elephant and that wing, someone was a Batman fan

[@andersnielsen6044]

But it is hard to get a baby carriage in that little boot. So it is not a familycar, more a female big city tractor. But hey, should this model not be a DS?

[@kingoneeyed3433]

Dare I invest in a car like this? even though it's very smart looking.

[@adamcol2270]

I love my c5 aircross....

[@rumble602]

I'm dyed in the wool Citroën, but that's just ugly. Much like the rest of the current line up. Give me an old CX any day.

[@enessolhan]

We've got Citröen c5 and had so much stupid problems with it. Probably, I'll not pass from near a Citröen ever again, even how good they'll are but they're just trash for me which come from experience

Just one thing missing - a diesel engine.

[@DehnusNorder]

Does it have hydro-pneumatic suspension if not? Then it's still not a true Citroen! - crosses arms and pouts -

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Magic carpet ride, not quite the same thing but more reliable 😂

[@DehnusNorder]

@@BobFlavinVideo Oh, I know for a fact that the hydro-pneumatic suspension was very reliable. Just you needed to make sure to buy the second iteration of a car Citroen makes ;). First iteration always has problems, like leaking hydraulic lines ;). Not the suspension at fault, but Citroen being very cheap with the first BX ;). The second generation BX was incredibly reliable :P. So I doubt that changed with this one ;) Sorry I shouldn't mess about. Just am a big fan and grew up with the suspension as a kid (parents owned second hand BXs). Such a smooth ride :). Never any problems, but all of them were the second gen ones. They (Citroen sellers) warned us about the first gen ones HEH :P. But It does look awesome this car.

[@morecoffee998]

@@BobFlavinVideo the citroen hydralic system was super reliable, especially the h3 system. Drove 400k kms before i had to replace a single sphere in my old c5, that's much better than most air suspensions that i know of
