Loaded to the gills with features such as a panoramic sunroof, handsfree tailgate opening, customisable instrument cluster, double laminated front windows, terrain modes...
4-star rating in the Euro NCAP crash test. 3-point seatbelts for all five occupants, 6 airbags, blind spot monitoring system, ESP, hill hold, hill descent control and more
Citroen C5 Aircross Cons:
Rear legroom is strictly adequate. Two 5’10" adults can sit behind each other, but not two 6-footers
No turbo-petrol engine (big miss), no AWD for tourers & no manual gearbox for MT fans
Not really sporty to drive. Cars like the Compass are more fun
Missing some features we expect today (connected car tech, wireless charging, ventilated seats, 360-degree camera, subwoofer…)
The bolstering of the 3 individual rear seats is suitable for slim passengers, not heavier ones
Audio sound quality is alright, but nothing special as you’d expect in a premium car
Many competing crossovers & SUVs offer a 3rd-row of seats, which the C5 Aircross doesn't have
The LHD orientation of many controls (gear shifter, e-brake, bonnet release, engine start button)
Long-term reliability & after-sales service quality are big unknowns
