Comment

Just a few days after the opening of orders for its new C5 Aircross, Citroën must offload the previous model.

We repeat ourselves, but each generational renewal of a car widely opens the doors to promotions. And therefore, opportunities for those who are not chasing after the latest models.

If a car, in your view, only serves a practical function and should cost as little as possible, then paying attention to end-of-life models is always smart. Obviously because prices are dropping, but also because reliability is at its peak (on paper). All the problems have been fixed over the years. You will understand…

Indeed, the old Citroën C5 Aircross has a gasoline engine that comes with a very bad reputation. It is named Puretech. And it doesn’t matter that Stellantis has fixed the oil-soaked timing belt defect by replacing it with a chain; the reputation sticks to it.

C5 Aircross, a good big fellow?

Citroën is slashing the price of its old C5 Aircross now that the new generation, based on the Peugeot 5008, is on sale. Promotions start at 5,000 euros and go over 7,000 euros depending on the engines.

The Puretech 130, with its 3-cylinder turbo, is the most affordable. Quiet and torquey (230 Nm), it is just a bit sluggish to rev up. It is enjoyed in a relaxed drive, less so in pure acceleration: 0 to 100 km/h in… 11.6 seconds.

Sold from 29,080 euros, when the catalog price is 36,250 euros, the deal is tempting as long as you are resistant to the electric. Because here it is: buying a 100% thermal engine in 2025, without any hybridization, has a downside. It’s the ecological penalty which reaches 983 euros here (140 g CO2/km). This brings the final price back below the 30,000 euro mark. Maybe the dealer can make a little extra gesture directly…

For the rest, the equipment is ultra complete:

  • 12V sockets on the center console and in the trunk
  • Driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment

  • Glossy Black exterior mirror covers
  • Temporary tire repair kit.

One question remains in the Citroën catalog: with the new C5 Aircross starting from 34,990 euros in the 145-horsepower hybrid version, shouldn’t one take the plunge and switch to modernity?
