Citroën C5 Tourer (08 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 26 June 2008 Last Updated: 01 February 2010 As far as stylish estate cars go, few can rival the good-looking C5 Tourer. The sharp lines are a stark contrast to the dull shape of the previous model and the C5 shows that Citroen has rediscovered its flair for unusual and striking design. But that hasn't come at the expense of practicality. There's a massive 1500-litres of boot space, while rear passenger room is good too. The C5's real strengths, however, are its superb levels of comfort and refinement which make it a great long distance car. A vastly improved interior, generous equipment levels and a range of excellent diesel engines make it even more attractive. 4 out of 5 Other Citroën reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £20,995 - £30,415 View all new prices Used price range: £5,700 - £19,266 View all used prices See 21 new models for sale from £15,803 Get a Citroën C5 Tourer (08 on) information pack Next steps Citroën C5 Tourer cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
