Citroën C5 Tourer (08 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
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.

Equipment

The C5 Tourer is available in three trim levels - SX (changed to VTR in late 2009), VTR+ and Exclusive. Like the saloon version, standard equipment levels are generous and all cars get cruise control, air conditioning, electric handbrake with hill start assist, roof bars, electronic stability control, electric windows, a CD stereo and adaptive headlights (which provide an extra light at the front when turning a corner at low speeds). There are some high-tech options too including a lane departure warning system (LDWS) which vibrates the drivers seat if the car wanders from its lane on the motorway and a parking space measurement system which can tell whether a parking space is big enough for the car.
