TheCitroën C5 X is amid-size crossover SUV produced by the French brandCitroën since June 2021.[5]
The nameplate was previously used on theCitroën C5. Dubbed theC5 X, the "X" meaning crossover, it is styled as astation wagon, with increased ground clearance. It is a largecrossover SUV, for buyers who want a sport utility vehicle, or a wagon. The vehicle is intended to be a combination of an SUV, sedan and estate.[6] It is available as a plug-in hybrid with shared technology from thePeugeot 508. The C5 X is marketed as the Dongfeng Citroën Versailles C5 X in China, resurrecting the Versailles name once used for theFord Versailles.[7]
The C5 X follows the design of the 2016 CXperience concept. The C5 X is approximately 50 mm (2.0 in) shorter, about 13 mm (0.5 in) taller, and about 130 mm (5.1 in) less wide than the CXperience.[8] The C5 XPHEV comes in 4 driving modes, Electric, Hybrid, Comfort and Sport, with 39 miles (63 km) of fully electric driving. The C5 X is based on theEMP2 V3, shared with the similarPeugeot 408.[citation needed]
In May 2025, the C5 X was discontinued in the United Kingdom withright-hand drive production ended in the same month, therefore theC5 Aircross became the flagship model in the market. However, sales of the C5 X continued in other European countries. Thierry Koskas, CEO of Citroën explained, "I don't think Citroën is very present in the market with the C5 X. It's a tiny segment, because as soon as you go into the D-segment, you compete with premium brands, and the sales of generalist brands are small. So I'm not sure we'll do anything in this segment in the future."[9][10]
The crossover has a choice of two petrol and one PHEV options. The PHEV was the most powerful, it has a battery capacity of 12.4 kWh (45 MJ).
