'The new C5X is a breath of fresh air, squarely nailing its brief to offer a calming, spacious and supremely comfortable vehicle. It’s keenly priced, too. Citroën is one of the first car makers to show a credible vision for a post-SUV bodystyle.' Review ⤵️

► Priced from £26,490, deliveries from June

Given both those cars have felt the chill wind of public indifference, and recent big Citroëns have proven immune to the car-buying public, you might be instantly writing off the C5X. But that would be premature: this Citroën has a few jokers in the pack. Acoustic glass keeps noise out. And Citroën’s comfort suspension, with hydraulic bump-stops which dissipate shocks at both extremes of the suspension stroke, is also standard. But the plug-in hybrid adds active damping on each corner, continuously stiffened or slackened by sensors calculating inputs including road imperfections and your driving style.

All the while, there’s more peace and quiet than when the kids have gone to grandma’s for half-term. If you value refinement, the C5X is like winning the lottery. The C5X largely keeps its composure when the pace picks up and the tarmac rolls up, down and around the mountains guarding the city. The PHEV is 304kg heavier than the base petrol, so the body naturally leans into corners, but it’s well-controlled without any float or excessive pitching.

A comprehensive safety package includes forward collision warning, lane keep assist, speed limit monitoring and cruise control, though the automatic emergency braking eschews a radar so is less capable of spotting pedestrians and cyclists and is less effective at night.
