Presentation

In the upper mid-range vehicle segment, the new look C5 is available in hatchback and estate versions. This "intelligent" road car combines styling, interior space and performance.

The Citroën C5 is a car apart in terms of the promise embodied in its styling and its strong personality. It brings customers wide array of technologies and innovation for exemplary well-being and safety.

The C5 features a wide range of modern, high-performance driving aids, such as Xenon dual-function directional headlamps, front and rear parking assistance, a speed limiter and a lane departure warning system (LDWS).

In terms of safety, the Citroën C5 also features new-generation ESP to correct the vehicle's course with precision and efficiency, and a new steering column airbag to protect the driver's knees and shins in the event of a collision. That is why EuroNCAP awarded the Citroën C5 five stars for safety, with 36 points out of a possible 37.

The Citroën C5 boasts a level of interior comfort worthy of cars further up the market, with laminated side windows and Hydractive suspension that actively filters out imperfections in the road surface.

Style

The Citroën C5 stands apart first and foremost for the elegance of its exterior styling and for the remarkable presence expressed by its taut, clean lines.

The boomerang-like sidelights – set off by the bonnet design and badged radiator grille – give the front end a dynamic and determined appearance.

Sleek balanced lines suggest a taut, flowing profile – the profile of a grand tourer, whose generous dimensions promise excellent interior space.
At the rear, the Citroën C5 shows dynamic contour lines, with the reprise of the "boomerang" theme, and a structured tailgate.

A captivating, well-balanced vehicle of status, the Citroën C5 is also attractive and elegant, with its striking design lines and chrome detail on the bottom of the bodywork and the bumpers.



Inside the Citroën C5, chrome- and lacquer-effect features add a further touch of class. A styling strip creates a visual link between the top and bottom of the dashboard, and may be extended up to the inner door panels.


The dashboard boasts modern instruments and a central console with two-zone automatic air conditioning and separate controls, as well as a hi-fi system of outstanding quality.

Comfort et technology

The Citroën C5 features functional driving aids for a relaxed drive.

The Xenon dual-function directional headlamps provide improved lighting for cornering.

To make driving easy for customers looking for comfort, safety and well-being, the Citroën C5 is available with both cruise control and a speed limiter.

The lane departure warning system (LDWS) detects an unintentional lane change on motorways or fast roads with the indicators off. A vibrating mechanism mounted in the car seat is triggered on the side corresponding to the direction of vehicle drift to alert distracted or drowsy drivers.

For increased safety, the Citroën C5 also features new-generation ESP, providing precise efficient correction of the course steered by the car. The Citroën C5 is not just reassuring. It is also comfortable. An exceptionally roomy interior, particularly at the rear, combined with low sound and vibration levels, all contribute to creating a unique sensation of comfort.

Alongside the many sound-proofing and gravel-protection features, and the new elastic couplings for high-level acoustic comfort, the Citroën C5 may also be fitted with laminated side windows.


Recognised for its exceptional comfort, the Hydractive 3 suspension varies the height of the vehicle automatically. The two settings, comfort or sport, are managed in line with road conditions and the driver's style.


With its velvety-smooth road manners, the Citroën C5 dominates its category for suspension and damping comfort.
