Detailed analysis of the Citroën C5 Tourer Exclusive HDi 160 · 163 CV (2012-2015)
General description
This generation's Citroën C5 Tourer is the ultimate expression of French-style comfort and elegance. It's not just a family car; it's a statement of intent, an invitation to devour miles feeling like you're floating on the asphalt, prioritizing the well-being of its occupants above all else.
Driving experience
Driving the C5 Tourer is an almost magical experience. Its legendary hydropneumatic suspension transforms any road into a silk carpet, isolating passengers from terrain imperfections. The 163 HP HDi engine pushes strongly and smoothly from low revs, offering a capable response for long trips without fuel consumption soaring. It's a car that doesn't encourage speeding, but rather enjoying the journey with a captivating calm and silence.
Design and aesthetics
Its exterior design is timeless and sculptural. The Tourer estate body suits it wonderfully, combining a fluid roofline with an imposing and practical rear. Inside, you are greeted by a high-quality cabin, with seats that are true armchairs and a unique dashboard, dominated by the characteristic fixed-hub steering wheel. Every detail exudes a sophistication different from its German rivals.
Technology and features
The technological crown jewel is undoubtedly its deformable parallelogram suspension, a system that gives it unparalleled ride comfort. Under the hood, the 2.0 HDi engine is a marvel of efficiency and performance for its time, with common-rail direct injection and a variable-geometry turbo. Although its infotainment system may not be the most modern, its comfort and safety equipment was very comprehensive at its launch.
Competition
In its time, this C5 Tourer faced stiff competition in the family sedan segment. It competed directly against models like the Ford Mondeo Sportbreak, the Volkswagen Passat Variant, or the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer. Due to its focus on comfort and refinement, it could also be an alternative to entry-level models from premium brands like the Audi A4 Avant or the BMW 3 Series Touring.
Conclusion
The Citroën C5 Tourer is a car for connoisseurs, for those who value supreme comfort and originality over sportiness. It is an exceptional family sedan for traveling, a haven of peace on the road that leaves an indelible mark. One of the last great Citroën sedans that proudly defended a unique philosophy in the automotive world.
