HOW DID CITROEN GET SO GOOD?

EV Channels Review

The updated Citroen C5 Aircross, particularly the electric eC5 variant, presents a compelling package for families seeking a comfortable and distinctive SUV. The reviewer highlights its spacious and pleasant interior, featuring soft-touch materials and a well-integrated vertical infotainment screen. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample rear passenger room, generous boot space accommodating eight suitcases, and useful storage solutions. The electric model boasts independent rear suspension, contributing to a composed and comfortable ride, even on uneven surfaces. Positives include the advanced matrix LED headlights, intuitive voice commands powered by ChatGPT, and the potential for vehicle-to-load functionality (though not yet available on this model). However, the reviewer notes some drawbacks: the infotainment system's climate controls require screen interaction, the driver display customization can be fussy, and the rear wiper is ineffective due to the window's design. The real-world range for the standard electric model is estimated at just under 230 miles, with a long-range version offering more. Despite minor annoyances, the C5 Aircross is recommended for its comfort, quirky design, and versatile powertrain options.
