THE KING OF COMFORT
As the results of our test showcase, the Citroën C5 Aircross scores very high on the comfort front, even when compared to cars segments above, reinforcing the SUV’s status as the king of comfort
The Citroën C5 Aircross without a shadow of a doubt is one special SUV. The design starts off things by being rather unique and something that stands out in the crowd. It also features generous dimensions which make it rather comfortable inside. The Citroën C5 Aircross further impresses with a host of features that make it special. First and foremost the interiors offer a calm and serene place to be in thanks to the double-laminated front windows and acoustic windshield glass. These features cut out noise making the cabin ultra-comfortable. To keep the interiors pure, Citroën has loaded the C5 Aircross with an onboard Air Quality System which automatically filters and purifies the air within the cabin. Moving on to the rather broad and comfortable seats which the C5 Aircross offers. With broad cushions and seat backs, they combine highdensity foam at the heart of each seat and a thick, textured foam at the surface. Adding to the versatility are the three individual rear seats which not only offer individual space but also adjustability to all three passengers. One can easily flip and fold every seat and this ensures further flexibility to the boot space on tap. Speaking of boot space, the Citroën C5 Aircross has a large 580-litre boot. But in case you have been out on a serious bout of shopping, the same can be increased to 720 litres by moving the rear seats forward. But if you have indulged further, the modular seats can fold away to liberate a mega-sized 1,630-litre boot. Accessing all this flexible space is effortless too, because of the HandsFree Electric Tailgate, which one can simply open by moving their foot under the rear bumper and close with the touch of a button. Accentuating the luxury feel and sense of space is the panoramic sunroof.
But there is more technology in the offing as far as the C5 Aircross is concerned. Exclusively developed by Citroën, the suspension with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions redefines ride quality levels. It smoothens large bumps and minor road surface imperfections, making the Citroën C5 Aircross feel like a flying carpet. When big bumps are encountered, the hydraulic cushions keep suspension movement controlled and progressive. Now you are privy to a jolt-free ride.
When it comes to convenience, the Citroën C5 Aircross tops the charts with up to ten incredible features which include a park assist feature, a coffee break alert, blind-spot monitoring system, and even fog lights with static bending tech amongst others. Adding to this is the safety net of six airbags and overall the C5 Aircross scores high on all fronts.
Citroën has also chosen to offer the C5 Aircross with a smooth, efficient, and clean diesel engine. The 2.0-litre engine offers a healthy 177bhp and 400Nm of torque which kicks in at a low 2,000rpm. Bottom line is that there is no shortage of power on tap. Coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the C5 Aircross is a breeze to drive. When it comes to efficiency, the big SUV offers a respectable 18.6kmpl and this coupled with a massive 52.5-litre fuel tank means that long drives can go uninterrupted without having to waste time on refueling. Last but not the least, priced at Rs 33.78 lakh (ex-showroom),
the Citroën C5 Aircross gives not just the competition a run for their money, but also those vehicles sitting way up the price bracket.
