Citroen C5 X Buying Guide

What types of used Citroen C5 X cars are there?

There’s only one version of the Citroen C5 X, and it’s marketed as a hatchback because of its boot lid, but it’s so much more than that.

Popular Citroen C5 X trims

Standard equipment is strong across the range, but there’s still a handful of specs to choose from.

> Citroen C5 X Plus - step above entry-level, with parking sensors, reversing camera and keyless entry

> Citroen C5 X Max - high-spec upgrade with 360-degree parking camera and powered boot lid

> Citroen C5 X Hypnos - luxurious range-topper with panoramic sunroof and a two-tone paint job with a black roof

Citroen C5 X history

Although the C5 X is a new car, it’s seen as an indirect replacement for the previous C5 model, which was discontinued in 2018.

> Citroen C5 X (2022) - announced in late 2021, the C5 X went on sale in 2022 as the company’s flagship model

> Citroen C5 X battery upgrade (2022) - battery gains an extra 1kWh (to 14.2kWh) to increase range and reduce emissions

> Citroen C5 X tech upgrade (2023) - added driver assistance systems, including steering assist for motorway journeys

What features does a used Citroen C5 X have?

When it first went on sale, Sense Plus was the cheapest option, but it still has LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and a large 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The trim was renamed ‘You!’ but it still has the same equipment.

All cars use Citroen’s ‘Advanced Comfort’ suspension, which is said to offer a ‘magic carpet-like ride’. Plug-in hybrid models have an upgraded ‘Active’ version of this suspension that adapts to the road. The whole range also gets 15mm of foam padding on the seats to add to the sumptuous feeling.

Higher-spec cars add luxuries like a bigger 12-inch screen, a head-up display, a 360-degree parking camera and heated seats.

Is the Citroen C5 X reliable?

There’s not much data on the C5 X’s reliability because it’s still pretty new. Thankfully, many of its mechanical parts are shared with other Citroen, Peugeot, DS and Vauxhall models, so many parts of the car are already tried and tested and should be dependable.

How much does the Citroen C5 X cost to run?

The 130hp 1.2-litre petrol is punchy enough for most and should be able to return 40-50mpg.

If you need a bit more power, the 225hp plug-in hybrid still averages around 60mpg in a mixture of real-world driving, and it should be even better if you mostly do short journeys.

Who is the Citroen C5 X suitable for?

A Citroen C5 X for sale is an ideal pick for anyone who values comfort – it offers a seriously supple ride around town, and you’ll still feel refreshed after hours on the motorway.

It’s practical, too, so if you need lots of rear-seat legroom or boot space, it’s well worth considering over something like a Vauxhall Insignia, Volkswagen Passat or Skoda Superb.

How much will the Citroën C5 X cost?

When it first went on sale, the cheapest C5 X for sale was £26,490. Today, the starting price is a touch over £28,000. PHEV models were around £35,000, but prices have steadily increased to nearly £40,000.

Thankfully, used Citroen C5 X prices are under £20,000 for petrol power, and £30,000 for hybrid power.

Is Citroën C5 X an SUV?

Citroen says that the C5 X is a hatchback, but it has a raised driving position and looks pretty rugged thanks to the use of plastic parts on the bottom of the bumper and side sills, so it has an air of crossover about it.

What is the mpg of the Citroën C5 X petrol?

Official figures stand at 46mpg for the petrol, and you should easily be able to average 35-40mpg around town and comfortably over 40mpg on a longer run.

What is the fuel economy of the Citroën C5 X hybrid?

The plug-in hybrid returned over 200mpg in official tests. Expect an average of around 60mpg, 40mpg when the battery is dead, and well over 100mpg if you’re able to charge frequently and rarely run out of battery power.

What is the range of the Citroën C5 X?

Earlier cars with the 13.2kWh battery had a claimed range of 34 miles, while a late-2023 update upped the range to 39 miles with a bigger 14.2kWh battery. Take off around 5-8 miles from that to give you an idea of real-world range.
