Can the mid-life updated Citroen C5 Aircross tow?  Maximum towing capacity?  Need a C5 Aircross towbar?

According to Citroen, the updated "C5 Aircross offers a compelling package with Citroën's signature Advanced Comfort philosophy influencing all aspects of the vehicle, a distinctive and modern exterior design and a comfortable and stylish interior, coupled with important safety and convenience features"

Citroen C5 Aircross has from the onset pitched itself as the comfortable and versatile choice of the SUV world – exactly what a family car should be about, rather than sportiness and outright driving dynamics.  

The Citroen C5 Aircross feels more off-roader than some of its competitors. That means you get a higher, more upright seating position – it helps with visibility and is very comfortable on long journeys, particularly as your legs are angled downwards rather than up in front of you.  If you are looking at actually going offroad, you'll need to look else and 4WD is not available.

The updated C5 Aircross is larger than before and introduces a new design language transforming it from curvy to featuring more sharp and structured lines.  In terms of dimensions, the Citroen C5 Aircross is 4,500mm long, 1969mm wide and up to 1689mm tall if roof bars are fitted. 

The interior has been refined for a more premium feel, with greater comfort and quality. A larger infotainment display with newer software offers higher resolution and faster load times than the pre-facelift model’s fairly dated interface.  The update boasts a redesigned central console to give more prominence to the layout of the controls, which include a new, elegant hi-tech e-Toggle style gear selector and a new driving mode selection button with a Grip Control function.

The driver is faced with a large 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster – surprisingly even larger than the C5 X it offers a high level of customisation, so you have all the information you need at your fingertips.

What stands out in the C5 Aircross is the in the rear, is its three individual seats. They each slide fore and aft independently, as well as offer a reclining function.  The 'magic carpet' ride provided by Citroen's clever Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension remains at the core of the Aircross.  The system will soak up any bumps without passing them into the cabin - so it handles sudden changes in road surfaces very well.

Additionally, a new transmission is available with an 8 automatic, the latest driver assistance tech Citroen has to offer,  as well as developments to Citroen’s Advanced Comfort features.

The boot is 580 litres with the rear seats in place, expanding to 1630L with the second row folded.  Need more space or to take your bikes along on the next weekend away?  Why not fit one of our Euro towbars? Citroen has rated the maximum a C5 Aircross can tow at 2000kgs - check your owners manual as could be lower depending on your specs.

Semi-autonomous Highway Driver Assist has been added.  The Citroen’s blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert systems are a nice touch as is the reversing camera with a top-down view.
