NEW CITROËN C5 X NAMED BEST LARGE FAMILY CAR IN PARKERS NEW CAR AWARDS 2023

• New Citroën C5 X has been named ‘Best Large Family Car’ in Parkers New Car Awards 2023.
• Parkers judges praised New C5 X for its practical interior and excellent levels of comfort.
• New C5 X is Citroën’s new D-segment flagship, combining the appeal of an SUV, the elegance of a saloon and the practicality of an estate.
• New C5 X is specified with Citroën’s most advanced technologies, as well as class-leading comfort thanks to the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme.

New Citroën C5 X has scooped the coveted ‘Best Large Family Car’ trophy in the Parkers New Car Awards 2023. New C5 X was praised for its ride quality, comfort, practicality and efficient powertrains.

New C5 X is a unique vehicle in the D-segment, combining the modernity and appeal of an SUV, the elegance and status of an up-market saloon, and the versatility and practicality of an estate car. New C5 X not only represents a look into the future for Citroën, thanks to its new advanced technologies, but celebrates the brand’s rich heritage of creating innovative models like CX and XM.

In addition to its head-turning good looks, New C5 X offers unrivalled comfort in the D-segment thanks to the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme. Citroën Advanced Comfort® Seats come with 15mm of added memory foam padding and provide more support on longer journeys. For the first time, the Advanced Comfort® seats in New C5 X can be specified with ventilation, as well as heating and massage functions.

Citroën Advanced Comfort® Suspension uses Progressive Hydraulic Cushions to provide a ‘Magic Carpet-like’ ride on all models, as standard. Plug-in Hybrid versions feature ’active’ suspension technology that uses on-board sensors to automatically optimise the suspension settings based on the road conditions.

Keith Adams, Editor at Parkers.co.uk, said: “New C5 X is an excellent family car, with a range of economical engines, a cosseting ride, comfortable seats and a practical interior that’s large enough to easily accommodate your average family. We can’t stress enough just how comfortable New C5 X is – there are cars which cost five times as much that struggle to achieve the same level of refinement. That alone makes it an interesting and individualistic choice among the sea of SUVs.”

Now in their sixth year, the Parkers New Car Awards name the best vehicles available across a number of market sectors in the UK.

Eurig Druce, Citroën UK’s Managing Director, said: “We’re delighted that New C5 X has won this award in the Parkers New Car Awards, building on the incredibly positive response we have seen for New C5 X from the media and our customers. New C5 X is unlike anything else currently on sale and is a true statement of Citroën brand values. It offers practicality, the most advanced comfort features and technology to deliver unrivalled comfort and serenity.”

New C5 X is available as an efficient Plug-in Hybrid with up to 37 miles of electric range (EAER WLTP Combined), or with advanced PureTech petrol engines. Prices for New C5 X and New C5 X Plug-in Hybrid start from just £27,790 and £36,470 respectively (MRRP OTR).
