Citroen C5 X review: Does ‘X’ mark the spot?

[@henrywhittaker2519]

Just got mine & did a road trip of 3,500Km's. It's great. The 1.6 turbo engine has plenty of power for Australia & good economy. A 7 hour drive was easy & comfortable.

[@Rasmussus09]

Riding this everyday i must say i love this car

[@spsmith45]

On a point of fact, the 1.2 petrol does have ‘progressive hydraulic cushions’, but not active scan.

[@anthonystevens8683]

I have to say I like the return of a more ...err...individual style from Citroen. It looks practical and can waft you around in comfort. It's a bit too long for me where I live (parking is , well, creative to say the least). Many thanks for sharing Richard, a clear and balanced review as usual.

[@carbuyer]

Thanks Anthony, kind of you to say!

[@mrp5169]

Collecting mine on Friday: Amzonite grey, black Perla roof…1.6 petrol , Shine spec 🤗🤗🤗

[@oliverstemp9132]

I love the design of this, I wouldn’t have it in black though, it hides the great lines. The C5X is much more interesting than the VW Group stuff

[@lash9400]

Great review and what a fabulous looking Citroen.

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video Review. A very stylish Car particularly the exterior design

[@picardlouis2653]

iv seen some in my home country of france and its nice i love the heads up display

[@MrSunnyBhoy]

Very nice car. I like the design and I'd buy this over an SUV any Day

[@AR-zr1om]

I don't understand why they don't do this as an EV it would suit it so much

[@carbuyer]

All in good time, we suspect!

[@PedroConejo1939]

There are rumours but the floor pan is not an EV one, so it will take more engineering to avoid too much compromise.

[@clyrogrumper]

if it was 4x4 and electric I would buy one

[@Sherukka]

Driving seems to be just how I like it! 👍🏻

[@nikostzinopoulos7736]

I can see rear plastic caps underneath as all torsion beam suspension of Stellantis? Or i am wrong?...

[@m2rtsoo]

Does it want to be a Volvo V90 Crosscountry? The way its parked in the beginning of the video gives a lot of V90 CC vibes.

[@smwatson1512]

Proper weird. Love it.

[@ScottyJ1122]

For me the Citreon every day, the Skoda is just a cheaper Volkswagon, no real Skoda character anymore.

[@toyotaprius79]

Citroën FTW!!!

[@sharonec5419]

Don't forget about the brilliant but sadly unloved MPV. They were around from the 80s right up to the 10s and still are just not as many sadly.

[@markopolo9559]

27k is a bargin for such a large vehicle.

[@waynekerrr9027]

Why in this crazy world are manufacturers insistent on knocking out huge cars. With the growing living costs, that have spiralled completely out of control..

[@oliverstemp9132]

There’s the C4 and C3 if you like this but want something smaller

[@fabian78]

I wish they called it the CX. For the individual design, the spacious cabin, the ultra comfortable ride, the good quality build but not class leading, and of course the depreciation. All in all I believe it is the most CX of all modern Citroens. A bit marmite perhaps, not everyone’s cup of tea, but definitely something original and different from the crowd.

[@Ethan-oy6gu]

I have bought a Citroen C5 X with 1.6l petrol engine. It’s looks beautiful and elegant, but I have to say the gearbox is not good especially when it changes from 2 to 3 , it’s kind of annoying thing.

[@sharonec5419]

Black really ain't its best colour do. It's looks much better in blue or green or red even.

[@sharonec5419]

Why would it have the same type of boor opening as a boring Audi A4 or a BMW 3series as this is not a saloon? Its part hatchback part suv part estate but not a saloon. Its nothing like a saloon.

[@lukeb4410]

Is it just my phone or is the audio off?

[@Sherukka]

It’s your phone?

[@panfistach9618]

Superb has better suspension comfort??? Really??

[@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.

[@podge5555]

Omg man you’re spot on! You would have thought after Covid, that the world would have learnt its lesson on its over dependence on China

[@SCYorks]

Get a grip most things are made in china including your laptop or phone or tablet you used to write your comment.

[@firstnamelastname9631]

The underpowered engine is a problem. I had the same engine on a C4 and didn't like it at all.

[@MrTonifumi]

Similar to new Toyota Crown. New cars now starting to look like cars 100 years ago.

[@stevencampbell1150]

Nice looking car tho' I'm not surprised the 1.2 is sluggish as you can't defy the laws of physics, small engine powering larger car equals slower performance and less mpg.

[@bensmith5707]

Gutted there's no Diesel engine in the range

[@tyraela115]

It absolutely sucks that there`s no diesel available indeed and a manual 6-speed gearbox. Not to mention Hydractive 3+, fixed hub steering wheel,... It`s ok car but the potential of the brand is much much greater (especially when you know the history of the brand). kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqOVXo2Zrb2SZq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH-Uf6StiZaNgJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWHOmqeIZceYisU kzbin.info/www/bejne/mma0c3h7hs6Ugs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHesmoaebdmWgZI www.citroenet.org.uk/miscellaneous/abandoned/abandoned.html Just to give you a taste...

[@QatarVegan]

My lungs are relieved.

[@tonyb3629]

I recently had a C3 Aircross as a loan car for the day - what a piece of junk. I've never seen so much hard plastic in a car before. This looks better, but the petrol hybrid is over £41k, so it get's expensive quickly. Still not sure about Citroen - they're very quirky in their designs, but you can't fault the comfort.

[@keithnewton8981]

Is it different subaru impreza estate, the volvo cross country there are numerous estate cars that are raised this is an estate go back to vauxhall Victor and viva with it rounded rear end estate The design nothing new it an updated estate car

[@noelcahill6707]

Not bad as a second hand for 2k other than that ud lose ur shirt new

[@Wildmutationblu]

This video is boring because Nicola isn't in it with her quirky perky comments.

It’ll break…it’s a Citroen

[@h.s.5995]

Like all Citroen products at the moment this C5X is so repulsive in the styling department

Styling is subjective. It's marmite you eith love it hate it I love it but think Citroen could abd should have been even braver with it. They should have launched it just as an all out electric car to compete with the Kia EV6 and the Hyundai Ionic5.
