Summary

The Citroën C5 Aircross is a mid-sized family car and the largest SUV offering in Citroën’s UK range. This is the second-generation petrol-electric hybrid model, which replaced the first-generation C5 Aircross range in Summer 2025. There is also an all-electric version – the ë-C5 Aircross – which we will cover separately.

Now challenging the sales of hybrid SUVs like the Nissan Qashqai, Citroën says that this new C5 Aircross line-up marks a “bold new chapter in Citroën design”, as the round clamshell design of the former model has been replaced by a sharper, “more upright” exterior look – similar to the smaller Citroën C3 city car.

This 145hp petrol-electric hybrid that has an electric-only travel distance of 62 miles. Now on sale with the first customer orders expected to arrive in October, the motoring media is yet to properly review the second-generation C5 Aircross. These reviews are sure to follow in the coming weeks, alongside safety and running cost data, and we will update this page with the car’s Expert Rating score once we have them.

Citroën’s new car warranty is fairly basic, and worse than rival brands in a similar price bracket as the C5 Aircross.

The duration is thee years, with a limit of 60,000 miles. In addition to the standard new car warranty, the hybrid and all-electric versions have an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.

If you are purchasing an ‘Approved Used’ Citroën C5 Aircross from an official Citroën dealership, you should get a minimum one-year warranty included. If you are buying a used C5 Aircross from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company and the terms may vary. If you are buying a used C5 Aircross from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond anything that may be left on the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
