2001-2005 Citro?n C5 Saloon review
The Citro?n C5 is a large family car produced by the French manufacturer Citro?n since early 2001. The C5 replaced the Citro?n Xantia in the large family car class.The first generation C5 is available as a five-door liftback or station wagon. Unlike its predecessors, the C5 is a liftback with a three-box design and a hatch. The C5 had a further development of Citro?n's hydropneumatic suspension, now called Hydractive 3. The major change with this system was the use of electronic sensors to replace the mechanical height correctors seen in all previous hydropneumatic cars. This allowed the suspension computer to automatically control ride height: at high speed the suspension is lowered to reduce drag and at low speeds on bumpy roads the ride height is raised. Manual control of ride height was retained, though it was overridden by the computer if the car was driven at an inappropriate speed for the selected height.Model Range:
