The CITROEN C5 (2008-16) 4DR SALOON 2.0 143 VTR+ AUTO4 is a large family saloon, a traditional alternative to the hatchbacks and SUVs popular in the UK. Its spacious cabin, separate boot and automatic gearbox suit families, commuters and business drivers seeking comfort on longer journeys, though it is less handy in crowded streets. With 143 horsepower, VTR+ trim and a smooth, easy-going ride, the C5 prioritises relaxed travel over sporty handling. It competes with the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Volkswagen Passat, but its comfort-focused feel and French styling give it a distinctive character. The petrol automatic is best for drivers valuing effortless progress over low fuel bills.
