Citroën C5 Aircross Wins Best large SUV Of The Year Awards 2021

Citroën C5 Aircross Wins Best large SUV Of The Year Awards 2021

Date Posted: 14 September 2021

A spacious interior is obviously a prerequisite for a car to compete in this class, but we also expect an upmarket feel, sensible costs, and top-notch comfort and refinement.

In many ways, the C5 Aircross is the archetypical Citroën, with distinctive looks and a super-soft ride. It’s particularly good on A-roads and motorways; there’s none of the annoying fidget that blights models at the sportier end of the large SUV spectrum. And while there is a bit of side-to-side sway over undulations, this is very gentle; it’s rather like being rocked back and forth in a comfy hammock.

The cost of this comfort is that the C5 doesn’t like to be hurried down a twisty B-road. But it grips well enough, and it’s only the plug-in hybrid version that feels genuinely cumbersome, due to the extra weight of its batteries.

Refinement is another C5 strength; it keeps you very well isolated from wind and road noise, and the petrol engine we recommend is a smooth operator that offers all the performance you need.

True, some rivals have seven seats rather than the five that you get in the C5, with the closely related Peugeot 5008 among them, but that will cost you thousands more. For value, the C5 is astounding.

Sherwoods Motor Group Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Sherwoods Motor Group Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
