BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE A CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS FROM OSV - bit.ly/3qGYwh1
Citroen's C5 Aircross is, according to its maker, 'the most comfortable SUV on the market'. Quite a claim, given that this isn't a large, luxury crossover but is targeted at family buyers currently considering volume mid-sized models in this class like Nissan's Qashqai and SEAT's Ateca. This revised version gets a more assertive look and higher equipment levels, plus its smarter cabin is still one of the most spacious and flexible in the segment.
The legendary Citroen 2CV had a reputation for being able to comfortably traverse a ploughed field. That apart though, this French brand can't call on much customer recognition when it comes to vehicles cable of functioning off the beaten track. That has to change, given the current European obsession with SUVs and the company is depending on its Aircross range of models to convince customers of its crossover credibility.
The first signs in this regard have been promising for the Gallic maker. The little C3 Aircross, launched in Summer 2017, has sold well in the small supermini-derived SUV sector. This family hatch-based C5 Aircross, which arrived here in 2018, has proved to be equally important. Citroen claims that it brings 'a fresh level of overall comfort' to the segment and there's an efficient range of engines that includes a petrol plug-in Hybrid version. Here, we look at the usefully updated version of this car.

    To me, they should bring back the v6 and hydropneumatic suspension for that magic carpet ride.

    Citroen have a great reliability records, as do certain French cars - we recommend checking customer reviews and surveys. Regular maintenance is key! For more information read our article on Citroen reliability: www.osv.ltd.uk/citroen-reliability/

    Whilst you were sat in the front. Why not mention which models have heated seats and steering wheel and at what level these are fitted as standard?

    Why are British car reviewers always referring to 7 seats? What's the obsession?

    Diesels PSA with important reliability problems with PSA’s adblue units. And .. also importan reliability issues regarding their three cylinder petrol units, makes almost a temerity to buy one of these or any other psa car

    Had two diesel Picassos. No problem with either and superb economy. Present VW Tiguan on the other hand (2.0 litre TDI R Line) has had fuel issues including the car going into limp mode and requiring warranty work. Pretty poor economy to boot….so there you go….

    @@ralphsmyth9635 Totally agree with you sir. I am by no means a Citroen fanboy, as the C4 Grand Picasso I owned previously had issues (mainly with the serpentine belt and air-con). However it was leagues ahead of the 2 VAG diesels I have also owned in the past. Issues included multiple fuel pump issues exacerbated by bodged main dealer repairs, DPF problems, thermostat failures again exacerbated by poor main dealer service, turbo failure @ 9 months old and 7k miles, oil leaks and unrelated to the engine, issues included steering rack and prop-shaft damper failure. So go figure that the “crappy” Citroen was considerably more reliable than the German stuff.

    Simple answer no. The basic 1.2 pure tech engine (wet cambelt is a nightmare) and is too small for this size vehicle. Pay a bit more and buy a Mazda CX5. it is worth the extra cash.

    Has cam belt issue not been largely resolved (or significantly improved upon) since circa 2016? Further info on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Charismatic finishing touches 😂 Fancy plastic and a nose as impressive as that of a pickup truck. I do not think VW Tiguan or Ford Kuga have to worry too much.
