Citroen C5 X Specs, Engines & Dimensions (from 2021) — First Generation
The first-generation Citroen C5 X is a Liftback that mixes estate space with a raised stance. You choose petrol or plug-in hybrid powertrains, typically with an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive.
Powertrain choices in this generation pair a petrol PureTech Citroen C5 X engine with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. You can look at the 1.2 Puretech AT for everyday petrol use, or a 1.6 Puretech AT Liftback in gasoline or plug-in hybrid form.
The 1.6 Puretech AT plug-in hybrid uses a lithium-ion battery, so Citroen C5 X battery capacity shapes how far you can drive on electric power before petrol takes over. Charge at home for commuting, then rely on the automatic drivetrain for longer trips.
