2023 Citroen C5 X review
Is it a hatch? Is it a wagon? Is it an SUV? No, it's the Citroen C5 X, the new genre-busting flagship of the quirky French brand's line-up.

The Citroen C5 X is no longer on sale as a new car in Australia, but it was the most interesting model from Citroen's final local lineup. It combined elements of a wagon, large hatchback and crossover, creating a high-riding grand tourer with a strong focus on comfort. The C5 X arrived with petrol and plug-in hybrid interest globally, and locally it gave Citroen a flagship with distinctive styling and a relaxed long-distance character. It was never likely to be a mainstream choice, yet that was central to its appeal. For buyers considering one now, the C5 X offers rarity, practicality and a very French alternative to conventional SUVs and sedans.
