The Citroën C5 X is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by the French brand Citroën since June 2021.[5]
Overview
The nameplate was previously used on the Citroën C5. Dubbed the C5 X, X meaning crossover, the model is styled as a station wagon, with increased ground clearance. It is a large crossover SUV, for buyers who want a sport utility vehicle, or a wagon. The vehicle is intended to be a combination of an SUV, sedan and estate.[6] It is available as a plug-in hybrid with shared technology from the Peugeot 508. The C5 X is marketed as the Dongfeng Citroën Versailles C5 X in China, resurrecting the Versailles name once used for the Ford Versailles.[7]
The C5 X follows the design of the 2016 CXperience concept. The C5 X is approximately 50 mm shorter, about 13 mm taller, and the about 130 mm less wide than the CXperience.[8] The C5 X PHEV comes in 4 driving modes, Electric, Hybrid, Comfort and Sport, with 39 miles (63 kilometres) of fully electric driving. The C5 X is based on the EMP2 V3, shared with the similar Peugeot 408, and the DS 4. It comes in 3 trim levels: Sense Plus (£36,470), entry-level vehicle, Shine (£37,970), mid-market vehicle, and Shine Plus (£39,960), the most upscale out of all trims.[citation needed]
