Citroen C5 Aircross

The 1.6 C5 Aircross… Although no longer bought in by C&C due to it being in Cat B, the 180bhp C5 Aircross drives better and the Aisin 8-speeder shifts smoothly from the get go.

It's soft, comfortable, and great for the whole family. This Citroen C5 is now available with just a 1.2-litre unit, so there's less road tax to pay, and less frequent visits to the petrol station.

Other than the price and fuel savings? This car still comes with all the thing's you'd really want out of a MPV. There's big and spacious seats for all, a nice infotainment and instrument cluster to look at, and comfortable ride to boot.

The new 1.2-litre variant is mighty gutsy as well. It's not fast, but doesn't feel overworked in this application as well.

If you have three kids, prepare for fights over the central seat.

The Citroen C5 Aircross used to be a bold and flamboyant SUV with its loud orange accents. This 1.2-litre variant is something different altogether.

It loses the roof rails, orange trim pieces, and gets an overall more conservative, raised MPV-like look. And its also all CAT A-friendly as well!

It's a small engine powering a fairly big car, but you really won't notice in every day traffic. The car still feels strong and punchy, with only off the line acceleration and high speed pushes revealing the low power output.

And there's still all the great interior fittings here to enjoy, such as the soft and spacious seats, which work well with the pliant suspension setup to make sure all five passengers are always cossetted about.

The second row is also rather interesting, offering a full-sized seat for the centre passenger. The upshot is that all passengers will sit in equal comfort, although, if you have three kids behind, be prepared to have to deal with massive fights over the centre seat. You can't have everything I guess.

Comfort and space at an affordable price for the whole family? This could be it.

Was looking for a SUV or a Crossover but prices are high due to high COE of Cat B which most SUV is under. Saw this C5AC going at $119,999 and under Cat A COE.

Curious, make a call and went for a test drive with family of 5. I was told this variant is using a 1.2L instead of 1.6L engine. I keep asking myself is the engine is ood enough for a 1.4T body? SE say try it out and see how it perform. Once we enter the car, the seat was still in fabric version but SE is qiuick to say that it would leather as the test car just aririve not too long ago. Like the interior and the LED meter cluster. The indivdual seat also suprised me, my 3 big kids seated behind quietly without any drama. With 5 of us in the car off we go...Am suprised that the 1.2 engine 3 cylnder didn't struggle much and as momentum contnue, the ride was quiet and very comfortable. The 8 spped does a good job changing gears smoothly. Only complian is the start stop feature comes on and off when there is a small jams. Making a vibration when engine is started....It best to keep it off. Next, is history...We confirm this ride on the spot. SE offer us a good deal and some freebies here and there. Joined our local C5AC group and slowly learn from the senior there makes the ride even more enjoyable.

The Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension - comfort ride always.

The LED headlamp and DRL.

The cornering fog lamp which comes on during turning.

The 8" infortinmant which is powerful - upgraded to Focal Speakers.

The boot space is adequate for daily use.

The 8 speed Aisin gearbox - smooth change always.

The 1.2L puretech engine is punchy and powerful @ low RPM.

This variant does not comes with roof rail which is a shame for an SUV/Crossover.

The Puretech130 C5AC on sale now is still a bargain given the high CAT A COE now. It has a more frugal engine compared to the Puretech180 and you won't missed the additional horsepower on our roads most of the time. It's still one of the more unique SUVs around.

However, put it side by side with the Puretech180 'Shine' and 'Shine Plus' variants and the difference in specification is stark. You will miss those comfortable 'Advance Comfort' seats, the convenience of electric seats and front acoustic glass! The 1.2 'Feel' variant is by no means noisy but those acoustic glass in the 1.6 'Shine' and 'Shine Plus' is a real plus and makes the cabin a really quiet and comfortable place to be in.

The 'Shine Plus' additionally has a panoramic sunroof and park assist (for certain batches only). The equipment list is long and more comprehensive than the entry-level GLA or X1. But too often, Singapore drivers love their premium brands too much to consider a Citroen, which is quite a waste for the C5AC is good value.

Having driven the C5AC over 18 months, I have not spent a single cent on repairs or maintenance. I got the battery changed In advance using service credits and look forward to more years of wonderful service from the ride.

I've been driving my C5 Aircross since Feb 2020. Good horsepower, quiet cabin and handles bums very well! Interior space is great with decent legroom for front and back passengers. With volcanic red color, the car stands out even after close to 2 years on the road. Besides, importantly too, their Sales Rep, Edison has been a wonderful guy to do business with. He's professional, approachable and his support has been like 7-11's slogan, "Always close but never closed!"

Deliver great power/torque esp useful during filtering and lane switching. Great ride comfort. sharp looking. Excellent pre-and post- services of Edison actually prompted me to write this review. Have come across too many sell-and-forgot sales personnel who would spend 5 minutes explaining car functions during new car handling over. Owning and driving a car in Singapore esp is all an experience that is meant to be nice and pleasant - Eidson just made that difference in overall car ownership experiences even close to 2 years after handling over the car to me :) and I'm still calling on him and he's still as friendly and approachable. What else can I say... Strong buy recommendation esp doing business with Edi...

Nothing in particular.

First I have to say the sales staff Cleo and her ex-colleague Alan provided very impressive service. Have been looking around for a replacement for my current Japanese car. Decided on C% Aircross, as I was looking for an SUV which provided comfort, petro saving, reasonable ARF value. This vehicle meets all the requirements. The only thing yet to see is the reliability which I have never tried a Citroen before.

Looking forward to starting my new drive with this car

Good handling, quiet interior, comfortable, reasonable pricing. Great service from their sales staff Ms. Cleo, even their ex-sales staff Alan did the trouble to help me with my inquiry.

the auto gear lever and the start bottom seem to be created for a car that is lefthand drive.

Test n drive this outclass car.. Only people with different view and challenge will dare to take the challenge ! Compare to korean n jap entry car , it give a lot better feel and power. More solid.. A competitior vs Opel Grandland with higher OMV and feature which Aircross dont not have. Will be good they got with same pricing

Best seat and suspension i ever drive .

big viewing windscreen give wide clear view

powerful when needed

branding and servicing cost. Anyway if u are driving a conti like BMW nd Merc , the cost is similar for servicing.

Since there seems to be a lot of new posts here saying such great things about this car, I also shall contribute my more balanced 2c. I test drove this car and also know some people who owned it, as I used to own Grand Picasso 1.6 THP. On the car itself, the suspension is the star feature, being from the famous Citroen heydays, but the downside is that you will feel the roll in corners. The THP engine does not feel like 180bhp when paired with the 8 speed gearbox, I would say that the VW/Skoda/Seat 1.4/1.5 TSI and DSG pairing is much smarter and feels way more responsive and overall faster even though it has less power on paper. As a whole, the Germans are definitely the driver's car while this is a great cruiser. In the interior seats are indeed very comfy, for me the impression ended when I saw the hard plastics on the door and of course being french the build quality is not that precise. They also seem to have a habit of making the centre console very wide (look at Peugoet and Renault) and the Aircross is no exception, it feels either cosy or cramped and space wasting in the driver's side. But if all of these are ok for you, this is definitely one unique ride to own, the only and main thing owners would need to go in with eyes wide wide open is, that's right, reliability and resale value. This is after all a french car and it is not for people without deep pockets or those who feel they want to show off their wealth on a unique ride. My Grand Picasso was well loved by the whole family, but by no means a trouble free ride, and despite the promises generations after, sadly even the current Picasso whether petrol or diesel is also still not one. Do note that C&C and even outside servicing is not cheap either. Again, this car stands out in a crowd, but take it from an ex Citroen owner, it may also turn out to be a car you might love or hate. The choice is yours depending on how much you like its standout styling, your risk appetite, wallet depth and maybe your wisdom in these Covid times.

Suspension is really good

A look that turn heads and stands out

If you like the car and have some $ to burn (see below re. Servicing cost), you will love it even with all its flaws and faults

Highly recommend at least 2 test drives before you sign

Suspension, power train feels more like a cruiser, this is not really for enthusiastic drivers

Not that spacious compared with other SUV in the class or price bracket

Interior cabin plastic material feels cheap in door and other areas

Driver's area can feel cramped for some people

Dont expect good FC in the city, 9-10 be happy

Reliability.... it is french car after all, keep some money in the kitty for repairs. Even if you are given service credits pls ask about cost of wear and tear parts, even a few $k will disappear very fast when comes to a Citroen and to C&C...!

Finally collected the car two days ago as purchase was made few days before the start of CB in April. No intention of changing car at that time but while sending a friend for his car servicing, was attracted to the overall appearance of this SUV.

Was served by Cleo and i can said that she is indeed a very excellent sales representative.

Both exterior and interior. After two days of driving, i would said is a comfortable ride with quiet cabin.

Huge boot and auto tailgate.

Brake not so responsive

Halogen Head Lamp

Taken delivery during Dec'19. Has no intention of replacing my car but was immediately attracted by the cozy interior and the full digital cockpit layout. (3 color to switch)

More features was presented to me during/after the test drive, example: lane departure warning and correction, auto brake feature, blind spot warning, auto parking brake engagement, auto tail gate, etc etc

Comparing with my same price point Jap car which i was driving, it does not have the above mention features.

Was a bit worry about the branding initially but it did come with 5 years warranty so it kind of convince myself to buy it.

Cleo Teo was very patient and helpful with my purchasing journey, highly recommend for the procurement and after sales experience.

180HP for 1.6. (nice), paddle downshift during over taking is a joy.

8 speed !!

Comfortable ride

Quiet cabin

fully customize digital cockpit

8' infotainment system

Android Auto and Apple Carplay come standard

wireless HP charging

almost 360 parking camera,

Nice speaker system,

Spacious boot, (IKEA lover will appreciate this)

lane departure waning and correction

auto tail gate, (wife fav feature after NTUC trip)

8" infotainment hang (need to shut off car and wait 5 min)

halogen headlight

An SUV that is modern looking and surprisingly pleasant to look at.

Drive is well adapted for city driving with sufficient torque from the go, and the 8-Speed transmission is smooth. Quiet and comfortable ride, coupled with the comfortable suspension, makes daily driving a pleasant and breezy experience.

Exterior looks.

Features - comparable with other continental brands

Suspension - the best part of the ride, and I can tell, because I have a terrible lower back problem

Does not have a power tailgate on mine, but I believe future models all do have one. Oh well.

Family friendly with good driver experience.

Many nice features.

Good for long drives and family outings.

Driver console experience

Spacious rear seats

Funky designs all around

Huge boot space

Auto tailgate optional

The exterior design is very citroen and thats what it attracted me to drop by and test drive the car. As i am into fashion, so will expect the car to match me too :p

Did not know it was a 1.6cc car until the sales told me. However the drive is good and power enough, should be the 180Hp and the 8 speed.

The seats uses leather cum fabric which I find very interesting and nice to sit on.

The interior design is nice and cool with the 12" Screen.

Surely value for money car, got to convince my wife now

1. The exterior design that is a different SUV design from the market

2. The supposed high density form seats.

3. The suspension (forget what they use here)

4. The drive and torque

5. The interior space and leg room as I am 1.83cm tall

6. The warranty and free 3 years road tax

7 The low depre for this car

i guess it will be good to have a powered rear boot for this SUV?

True to Citroen Suspension , truly comfortable and so so plush ...

A good balance of sublime yet subtle touches inside and out as a competitive crossover. Also a fun drive with the responsive steering. Well rounded for the stop go traffic during rush hour or the long run on the express way home.

It runs surprisingly zippy and smooth transmission. Reliable torque coverter Aisin Seiki gearbox, i expect trouble free for many years.

very spacious boot. The interior trim is stylish/conti without trying too hard to impress . Although Brown leather would be nice too.

Very good noise insulations, gives a run to those brands priced much much higher.

Conti handling and suspension with Jap/Korean price , Win win

good pick up and Plush suspension, very quiet , very good noise insulation

Rims are too big, however its a big car

No power rear boot
