Citroen C5 Aircross review: A comfort king with mighty range

The second-gen Citroen C5 Aircross is all about comfort, comfort, comfort. Available for the first time as a fully electric model, the new flagship arrives on the same STLA-M platform as its Stellantis stablemates: the sporty Peugeot e-3008 and the straight-laced Vauxhall Grandland. But where those cars chase different priorities, the C5 Aircross stands apart as an unwaveringly sensible and serene family SUV.

The headliner here is the Extended Range battery option, which offers a massive and Tesla-worrying 422 mile range. Both options get Citroen’s trademark progressive hydraulic suspension, which delivers silky ride comfort, there’s loads more space in the rear, plenty of tech and a posh new ‘zen lounge’ cabin centred around a large and neat profile touchscreen.
