The new SUV leaves a contradictory impression: 'I wish I liked it more than I do'
The new Citroën C5 Aircross, while praised for its driving comfort and handling, leaves some mixed feelings among reviewers, particularly regarding space and practicality for families.
The article discusses the new Citroën C5 Aircross, which was initially released in 2017 and considered one of the best in its class for drivability and comfort. The previous model had great suspension, offering a pleasant driving experience, but it fell short in certain practical aspects, especially in rear legroom which could be a drawback for families. While the car had sufficient cubic capacity and an adjustable rear seat, it struggled with knee space for passengers in the back.
The newly redesigned C5 Aircross, built on the STLA Medium platform, was unveiled last spring. The article notes that the Alma Media car editorial team had the chance to drive the fully electric version in Mallorca last autumn, and now they focus on the hybrid variant available in Finland. Although the petrol variant has distinct benefits, especially in performance, it's essential for potential buyers to weigh these against the practical considerations that might affect family use and comfort during travel.
Overall, the writer expresses a bittersweet sentiment about the C5 Aircross, wishing to appreciate it more. While the car comes with modern features and improved technology, concerns about its usability in family situations might challenge its appeal in comparison to rivals that may better cater to larger families or those needing more room and comfort on long journeys.
