Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The CITROEN C5 (2008-16) 4DR SALOON 2.0 HDI DPF 160 EU5 VTR+ 6SPD is a spacious large family saloon, rather than a hatchback or SUV. It sits in the comfortable, practical end of the UK used-car market, competing with cars such as the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Vauxhall Insignia.

With its roomy cabin, supportive seats and calm, refined ride, this C5 suits families, regular commuters and drivers covering longer distances. The 2.0-litre diesel offers useful pulling power and can be economical on longer journeys, while the VTR+ trim brings a generous comfort-focused feel. Its distinctive French styling helps it stand apart from more conventional rivals.
