WHAT SECOND-GENERATION C5 AIRCROSS LACKS IN HANDLING FEEL IT MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR IN RIDE QUALITY AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY FEATURES

- 

THE midsize SUV class is booming right now but the C5 Aircross has become a stagnant choice of late, having been on sale since 2018. So Citroen has released the second-generation, which is bang up-to-date with the competition.

WHAT'S NEW?

It's all new and sits on Stellantis’s STLA-M Platform, which is shared with the Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 5008 and Vauxhall Grandland.

It's available with a plethora of powertrains to suit different buyers, comes with a tech-focused interior, and has one of the largest boots in its class - or so Citroen claims.

There are air deflectors and inlets around the exterior to help with aerodynamics and efficiency.

It is also bigger, more practical and better equipped, with a choice of three trim levels on offer too.
