CITROEN C5 Tourer · photos, packages and modifications

If you want to go through the big car that is available with luxury estate and capable of carrying five passengers and their luggage in absolute comfort, then the Citroen C5 Tourer is the best option you can prefer with. Even though the sale of C5 model becomes as comfortable one because of the standard-fit-air suspension that is treated as the Exclusive spec, it is not able to compete with the models such as the Ford Mondeo Estate and the Honda Accord Tourer because of other dynamic packages available. Compared to the Mondeo model, it has less room in the boot, but it can make the loading of bulky items as easy with the square boot floor and wide opening tailgate. Because of no strains and return of fuel economy, it would be better to opt with 2.0 HDi engines and you can also go with the diesel engines as well for C5.

You would probably feel as identical to the saloon of the Citroen C5 Tourer, until you go through the back doors on it. The conventional estate car shape of this model was achieved through the extended roof to the tail of the car and drops vertically, even though it has a novel rear window as a four - door. Compared to the saloon, Tourier is 50mm longer because of the extra length added behind the rear wheels of the model. There were no problems and mistakes with this model and still looks smart. The Exclusive models of C5 are available with comfortable seats and high-quality cabin, but the main thing is there are a lot of small fiddly buttons spread across that spoils the dashboard.

This model is very comfortable for driving and also to travel. The Exclusive models make C5 turn into a luxury limousine in terms of comfort because of the laminated glass and air-suspension. Even though the entry-level VTR and VTR+ models are designed with the conventional steel springs, soaking up of bumps are really good. Compared to Ford Mondeo, C5 can let-down in corners and it pitches and rolls. Even though the flagship V6 diesel is extremely quick and offer plenty of pulling power, it would be better to go for the 2.0 HDi rather than 1.6 HDi, according to the comfortable nature of C5 and which doesn’t need any hard-work.

The Citroen C5 Tourer is in need to rectify mechanical and electrical problems through a number of recalls because of the few niggles it has. Even though the C5 model is a safe car, Euro NCAP five-star score was achieved by the saloon version, and the Tourer was achieved with the same safety kit along with the electronic stability control.

Because of the split-folding rear seat flat, the boot space of Citroen C5 Tourer can be expandable to 1,462 liter, which is normally 505 liter. The Exclusive model has the air-suspension system, which has the self-levelling set-up as its part. This would probably make the access of car as easy one when parked and drops the car on its suspension.
