The CITROEN C5 (2001-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 16V 138 VTR AUTO4 is a spacious family hatchback, combining saloon-like comfort with a useful rear hatch. It competed in the UK against the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Renault Laguna. With its 2.0-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox, it suits drivers seeking relaxed, easy progress. The C5 is best for families and commuters who value passenger space and a soft, comfortable ride, especially on longer journeys.
