    I really like the interior, and by keeping the cost down it does make it a good option, but it will ultimately come down to the finance deals and guaranteed future values when being judged against it’s competitors.

    I do like the look and stuff, one confusion is that Citroën specifically went back to physical knobs in the facelift for the previous C5 Aircross after they were touch only on the pre-refresh, but now in the new model they’ve gone back. Strange.

      Our Audi E-Tron has a dedicated touch screen for the HVAC and I find it really easy and intuitive to use, much easier than the physical buttons in my Leaf.
      It’s all about how it’s designed, and honestly it looks quite easy to use.

    Nice looking car, then you get inside and see gloss black… WHY?

    Surely by now car manufacturers have got the memo, we don’t like finger print magnets (gloss black) and unless you are a Dacia, no scratchy plastics too, squidgy all tye way thank you. Finally, things that should be a button or a knob, should be so … And no sharing button on the windows, yes I am talking to you VW sitting there at the back of class, don’t think I did not see you.

    But back to this car. Looks good, hopefully impressive range lives up to the figures. Yep, I think Citroen have done well here. Won’t buy one though, out of my price range, but I think could be a good used car option.

    I’m really disappointed that the rear bench doesn’t have the three side-by-side seats like the old version. As a parent with three kids, having 3 ISOFIX points in the second row is a godsend. They did the same thing going from the previous Peugeot 5008 to the current version

    If the screen, only ever shows the same thing.. no point it being a power consuming screen. Put some nice physical knobs in.. I like brands that use reconfigurable tactile buttons n knobs.

    As a current c5 Aircross owner I’ve been waiting for this! So disappointed that they’ve binned the 3 full size seats in the back, which was the whole reason I got one (3 car seats).

    The search continues (I don’t want a 5008😂)

    And yes I know it’s my own fault for having too many kids

      May I present: Audi Q7 (4M) (06/15 – 06/19), Citroen Berlingo (III) Kombi (ab 09/18), Citroen e-Spacetourer (ab 11/20), Ford Tourneo Connect (ab 05/22), Ford Tourneo Custom (08/12 – 01/18), Mercedes-Benz EQV (477) (10/20 – 01/24), Mercedes-Benz T-Klasse (420) (ab 07/22), Opel Combo (E) Electric Life (ab 10/21), Opel Zafira Life (07/19 – 01/22), Peugeot 5008 (II) (03/17 – 09/20), Peugeot Rifter (ab 09/18), Renault Kangoo (III) (ab 05/21), Renault Trafic (III) Combi (09/14 – 07/19), Toyota Proace City Verso (ab 04/20), Volvo XC90 (L) (ab 01/15)VW Touran (II) (ab 09/15), VW Nutzfahrzeuge Caddy (V)

      I am guessing that the Nissan Townstar is also available, additionably I am aware that not many Citroen buyers are interested about the XC 90 or Q7.

      there is choice but they are either very expensive (Q7, XC90) or based on vans.. The C5 Aircross stood out of being reasonably priced, not too big but still offering three seats across with isofix.
