Citroen C5






With the new C5, Citroën establishes a strong position in the mid-high range vehicle segment, where the key qualities are appeal, performance, status and quality. The new C5 combines a strong personality, with dynamic performance, status and quality Respecting the design cues of this segment, Citroën has developed two cars: a saloon whose flowing lines express style and status and a dynamic looking estate that places the emphasis on emotion without forgetting functional convenience. With the new C5, Citroën satisfies the requirements of executive vehicle buyers in terms of quality and reliability by setting new standards in development, design and industrial production.
With a wheelbase of 2.82 m, the C5 road car is designed to satisfy buyers of large saloons looking for postural comfort and outstanding space. The adjustable front seats, featuring manual or electric controls, and the height - and reach-adjustable steering wheel let drivers find a driving position suited to their body shape and driving habits.

Depending on trim levels, two seat categories are also available to ensure maximum comfort. "Harmonie", based on flowing lines for an impression of comfort and well-being, and "Caractère", featuring stronger support and more pronounced lines, illustrating the quest for driving thrills. The electrically controlled front seats (standard with Exclusive trim) include comfort features that are new to this vehicle category. The driver can adjust the top part of the back rest to achieve a comfortable position while fully supporting the top part of the chest.

According to the version, the driver's seat back can feature a back massage function. Passengers at the rear also travel in comfort, thanks to the well designed and particularly generous leg room. The absence of a central tunnel further increases space. The rear seat features three height-adjustable headrests and, depending on trim,, a central armrest comprising a vast stowage compartment and two can-holders built into a sliding drawer, a ski flap and – last – a 60/40 fold function, freeing up a flat floor.
