Citroen C5 Aircross Hybrid review: leading the comfort charge Gareth Herincx Citroen C5 Aircross Hybrid
Launched a couple of years ago, the Citroen C5 Aircross was a welcome addition to the highly competitive mid-sized SUV market dominated by the likes of the Nissan Qashqai, Ford Kuga, Kia Sportage and Peugeot 3008.
Priced from £24,355, the C5 Aircross range was initially powered by an impressive range of efficient PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel engines, paired with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Now, Citroen has added a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version. Starting at £34,360, it costs a good deal more than its conventionally powered stablemates, but it has its advantages because it’s kinder to the planet, and your pocket in everyday running costs.
