Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The C5 Aircross is Citroen's (late) leap onto the family-crossover bandwagon.

Pros
Very comfortable in all sorts of ways.
Looks different.
No sporty pretence

Cons
No sporty actuality.
Ride not as consistent as billed.
Occasionally irritating screen system

By: 
topgear.com

The Citroen C5 Aircross packs plenty of space and lots of tech into a stylish and comfortable package, but the infotainment systems in alternatives are easier to use.

Pros
Eye-catching looks
Big boot
Comfortable to drive

Cons
Some low-rent interior bits
Awkward infotainment system
No four-wheel-drive option
