Citroën C5 X – Model Year 2025


Country of Manufacture

The Citroën C5 X range for Europe (petrol and plug-in hybrid) is produced at the Stellantis plant in Chengdu, China.


Overview

The large crossover-sedan Citroën C5 X receives a subtle update for MY25: a new Olivine Green exterior color, 19" "Aero-X" alloy wheels optimized for lower fuel consumption and emissions, and a mild redesign of the “V-LED Matrix Vision” headlights. Inside, the MyCitroën Drive Plus infotainment system with a 12” HD touchscreen now includes the new “Smart Bar” for quick shortcuts. The refined Advanced Comfort® active suspension with adaptive dampers and ventilated/heated Advanced Comfort seats are retained.
Dimensions: 4,805 × 1,865 × 1,485 mm; wheelbase: 2,785 mm.
