No talking about the level 2 autonomous driving (highway only)? No talk about the 20 driver assist systems? I ordered one last week after i finished my test drive and i can say, it's the most comfortable car i have ever driven! It's also so quiet in the motorway.
@@ianpurcell7266 Your view is indicative of what German marketing has achieved. People who probably never owned a French car are convinced on their unreliability. I have owned French and German cars and it was always the German ones that had several and very costly issues. Also everyone I know, who is whining about French cars, never owned one and the ones who did are as happy with them as I am.
I have a BMW 3 series which does the sporty bit very well but i also have one of these for the everyday hauling people snd stuff around. I must be getting old but i have to say, i love my Aircross, it is a much more relaxing place to be on daily basis and infinitely more practical than the BMW.
Nice shots in and around Stamford. Love the look of these. I’ve driven many of the new generation Citroens and Peugeots over many many miles recently and they are refined, solid and very comfortable. This and the related Peugeot 3008 are arguable two of the most distinctive SUVs you can buy if you don’t need 4WD (which hardly anyone does). After many vehicles and thousands of miles driving them I didn’t have any issues with the infotainment system; it’s easy to use, intuitive (mostly) and the satnav is easy to programme and accurate.
Great review James. A very funky looking car which looks good inside and out. Not sure about the soft suspension though. Just bought a Tucson but may be a C5 Aircross next time!
There's a little fail in "things you need to know n.1" the hybrid version will NOT be a 4WD. The electric motor will be placed on the front axle and will still be a front wheel drive
I’ve been watching a few reviews on this car I’m interested I don’t know too much about cars but I have driven a Honda CRV for the past ten years I got it when it was 8 years old I love it , now I’m comparing this Citroen, Mitsubishi small suv or Ford Escape, still yet to test drive . ... . How are the parts and service cots on Citroen’s ? Thanks 👍
Citroen parts and servicing are certainly at the cheaper end of the scale - the company prides itself on offering value for money. Let us know if you need any more info.
@@illyillyrasras hi. The ASX is now an old design. The Citroen is streets ahead in space and comfort. The ASX is scheduled for replacement in the future.
Didn't add the fact the supposed top spec model is not top spec compared to other markets. Options like full LED headlights available in other markets aren't available at all in the UK.
Why right-hand-drive cars STILL don't get LED headlights I'll never know, especially as they are offered on the Peugeot 3008 and 5008 in both left and right-hand-drive markets!
Why aren't right-have-drive cars offered with LED headlights, even as an option like the left-hand-drive cars are? Here, we have to make do with old-fashioned halogen units like on an old Rover Metro - welcome to the 1990's!

The worst thing about the C5 is the sat nav updating. 2Hrs downloading 17gig file and then 1Hr loading it in the car with the Engine running . mine is a 2ltr flair + BlueHDI surely there must be a better and more economic way of doing it. It's going to waste a lot of fuel over the next few years
Pretty sure you can update the maps and firmware by using a USB stick instead. That's what I've been doing on my 2016 Peugeot. The process then drops down to about 15-20 mins for the installation.
I would recommend choosing to install only the countries that you will actually use, otherwise it probably will take an hour or more to upgrade the maps.
@@Estep16 Hi the new C5aircross you don't have the option to download country maps it is a single 17gig file, the firmware is quite small and doesn't take to long. The new maps are by TomTom and not Navtech and when you dont have hight speed internet it takes forever, then you transfer it to a usb stick and upload it to your car system
@@alexandergrzx300 I don't know if BMW is the most unreliable, but I know far to many cases where the timing chain (camshaft) breaks after about 100 000 km and the car was ready for the scrap yard. Incredible for such an expensive, prestigious brand.
Love that it’s not trying to be a bloody sports car! Comfort and luxury win over!

Time will tell how reliable it turns out to be. And if citroen's past is anything to go by you wont have to wait long.

I love watching car reviews from other countries than mine because they show beautiful places that are not in the average tourist recommandations

That full size middle seat, which also slides and reclines individually is amazing. I wonder why other similar cars don't have it.
I love them in the C4 Picasso / Grand Picasso / Spacetourer models too

Exactly all these reviewers watch others and complain about the same thing. Don't see the problem with infotainment at all.
Great insight thanks
Great Video Review
@ 4:46
Yes indeed. 👌💥☺
A very comfortable soft ride experience!
Thanks just bought 100
Debating with myself this for comfort or the Kuga STLine for a wee bit more sporty feel.
Seems like an ideal replacement for my Skoda Yeti DSG gearbox. I like it a lot.
Perfect 👌 !
4:15 Nope, no 300Hp hybrid version for the C5 aircross, only 3008, Opel/Vauxhall Grandland and DS7.
I like this car a lot, but I don't understand why they didn't put ISOFIX mounts in the middle seat.
It’s probably not wide enough for three child seats
but it's no narrower than the Peugeot 3008/5008 and those cars have them.
Great review James. A very funky looking car which looks good inside and out. Not sure about the soft suspension though. Just bought a Tucson but may be a C5 Aircross next time!
Cheers Andrew! C5 Aircross is very very soft but does ride well as a result. Tucson is an excellent choice.
Any one tell me is the sat nav as bad as they say

Exactly what I thought. Seems like in the UK, they don't care about better lighting. Here in Finland is a must have.

I just learned a new word today-"ginormous"

Sir where is our ambi car
Subtitles please as I’m deaf.
So its not even a good C5 soft but stiffen up for corners
The only reason you experienced what you perceived as excessive body lean in corners is the fact that your steering wheel is on the wrong side!
If you look carefully you'll see it's on the right side actually!
@@briantitchener4829 I see what you did there! Good one.:)

Not sure I'd want to buy something that was described as 'ginormous' … where do they find these people?

Paras auto on citroen
Why do all the reviews keep going on about the headroom in the back. How many people buy a car and have adults in the back?! Sigh.
Plastic fantastic
so you expect from 30k to not have a plastic go buy bmw x5 or x7 or merc gle, class
When the reviewer is better looking than the car
Yep but you are too ugly for him.
Damn staccato music drowning out every word! Waste of money promoting this car! I'll check out another brand.
Well chosen words “predictable “ , why don’t you say just plain boring?
If only it was reliable...
PSA group brands have come a long way in terms of reliability over the last years.
PSA is the most reliable in Europe, well you are stupid. Very stupid. Bmw audi and FCA Italian cars is the most unreliable
