Uninteresting thread - Citroen C5 Air cross PHEV SUV
Discussion
Hi all
Ummed and aahed whether to start a readers cars thread on the above as it's very unexciting but since getting it, it's really grown on me so thought I'd share my experience, especially as it's the first PHEV for me.
Firstly it is really comfortable, typically citroen in this sense. Easy to drive and really quiet. Feels well built albeit only 2.5k miles on the clock so early days.
Tech wise it's got all the gadgets, android auto is brilliant. The Citroen app is a bit pony, really slow but I can set the heating remotely which has been handy although it's a preset of warm temperature rather than what I can set.
Electric range is hugely impacted by temperature, a lot more than I expected. During the summer I could get about 38 miles out of the electric albeit no air con on and driving everywhere and 30mph. Sub 30 miles range at the moment.
The app tells me I get between 45 and 75 mpg in hybrid mode which is pretty good, especially as the fuel tank is small.
All in all I really like it. Its only temporary until I get a company car next year.
If people want snaps I'll Upload some and happy to Answer any questions.

38 miles is impressive - my 330e only manages about 21 miles, 22 miles at a push!
Pics?
Cheers. Nowhere near that now sadly! It was a slow journey with no air con but I was chuffed. Pics?
Will get some snaps up soon.
This cold weather has highlighted the heating is awful, even at full blast there is a pathetic amount of air that comes out.
