Description
Here are some of the positives of the 2022 Citroën C5 Aircross Shine 1.2 PureTech, especially if you’re considering it in the UK trim: Power & Efficiency The 1.2-litre PureTech three-cylinder turbo petrol delivers a respectable 131 hp and 230 Nm of torque. Fuel economy is decent for its class — when paired with the automatic (EAT8) version, it achieves around 38.6-46.7 mpg depending on driving style, and CO2 emissions are in the area of ,148 g/km. The acceleration is adequate: 0-62 mph in about 10.3 seconds. It’s not sporty, but perfectly acceptable for daily use. Comfort & Interior Features As a “Shine” trim, it comes well-equipped. The cabin has good tech: 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, updated infotainment touchscreen (10-inch), dual-zone climate control. The ride quality is one of its strong points. Citroën’s Advanced Comfort suspension (and its soft springing with bump stops) gives a smooth and cushioned ride over imperfect road surfaces. Spacious cabin. Especially good rear seat tracks, allowing sliding of rear seats to balance between passenger legroom and boot space. Boot is generous (˜ 580 litres in regular rear-seat position). Design & Styling The 2022 facelift gives the C5 Aircross a refreshed, more modern look: revised front end (wider air intake, updated light clusters), new styling details and stronger road presence. Shine trim adds aesthetic touches like roof bars, nicer interior materials (Alcantara-style trim etc.), plus extras like a reversing camera and driver assistance pack. Practicality & Safety It scores well on safety features in its standard or mid-spec trims: active safety braking, driver assistance features, parking sensors, etc. Versatile interior with good storage, roomy feel for occupants, especially in daily traffic or family use. Rear seats sliding means you can adjust for more boot or more space
