IT WOULD APPEAR that Citroën has never heard the saying 'you can please some people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time'. You see, this all-new C5 Aircross wants to be exactly that: a people pleaser that offers something for everyone.

While its predecessor majored on comfort, this new one builds on that by being even more spacious inside, thanks to a longer wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheels) and slightly taller proportions.

On top of that, as well as mild hybrid petrol and plugin hybrid (PHEV) variants to choose from, a pure electric e-C5 Aircross is available for the first time. Here, though, we're focusing on the PHEV, which is the fastest C5 Aircross that you can buy and gets up to speed really easily.
