Used Citroen C5 Aircross for sale

Every model comes with lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition and multiple airbags. Later versions add blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. The Citroen C5 Aircross earned a full five-star Euro NCAP rating in 2019, with strong scores for both adult and child safety.

You’ll find a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel and, from 2020, a 1.6-litre plug-in hybrid (PHEV). Early cars also came with a more powerful 1.6-litre petrol. The hybrid is the quickest and most efficient, especially if you do a lot of city driving or short trips.

All models feature a central touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth and DAB. Higher trims add sat-nav, upgraded speakers, wireless phone charging and a fully digital driver display. The 2022 update improved screen graphics and menu layout, although many controls remain touch-operated, which some drivers find less intuitive.

Petrol models return around 35–45 mpg, while diesels offer 45–60 mpg. Plug-in hybrid versions officially achieve up to 200 mpg if you charge regularly, with an electric-only range of about 41 miles – ideal if your daily drives are on the shorter side.

Make sure the infotainment system responds smoothly and all electric features work as expected. Test the sliding rear seats and check for any interior creaks or rattles. Tyres should be in good condition, especially given the car’s soft suspension setup. A full service history is a must, and it’s wise to consider The AA Vehicle Inspection.

The Citroen C5 Aircross has a decent reliability record. It hasn’t had widespread issues, though some owners mention minor electrical faults or infotainment glitches. Diesel models tend to be particularly robust, and regular servicing goes a long way in keeping any version running smoothly.
