We can't stress enough the comfort of the new C5 X - there are cars that cost five times as much and struggle to achieve the same level of refinement. That alone makes it an interesting and individualistic choice among the sea of SUVs."
Eurig Druce, Managing Director of Citroën UK, said: “We are delighted that New C5 X has won this award at 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.
