Citroen has a unique infotainment set-up compared with other brands in the Stellantis group, and it might just be the best one. In front of the driver is a small 10-inch display with your key information, but it’s the 13-inch portrait-orientated screen in the centre console that does the heavy lifting.
Thanks to its boxy shape and large windows, the Citroen C5 Aircross feels more spacious inside than just about all of its key rivals, and it has generous measurements inside. Space up front is good, with wide, soft seats that still offer excellent support, while the large centre console creates a convenient armrest with storage split over two levels.
For the class, the C5 Aircross offers lots of car for not much money, with good tech, lots of space, a comfortable ride and a distinctive character, although at the entry point to the range it has a tough rival in the shape of the Dacia Bigster. While the C5 Aircross isn’t class leading in any one area, it offers a compelling combination of factors for family car buyers.
