Citroen C5 Engines and Transmissions

Most buyers met the Citroen C5 engine range through modest petrol units such as the 1.8 MT, an economical choice for town driving. Diesels like the 2.2 AT paired relaxed automatic shifting with strong pulling power, while the 3.0 MT added smooth six-cylinder pace. All drove the front wheels.
