  • The C5X has the practicality of an 広い地所 and 広範囲にわたる lines of a saloon?

On the hottest day of the year I managed to stay 冷静な/正味の 運動ing Citroen's new C5X crossover. And it wasn't just 負かす/撃墜する to the 空気/公表する 条件ing.?

My first 運動 of this stylish new car 同時に起こる/一致するd with tarmac melting in some areas. But I reckon I still looked and felt the 商売/仕事 in a car that has 独特の, bold looks.?

The C5X 連合させるs three elements: the practicality of an 広い地所, the 広範囲にわたる lines of a saloon and the versatility of an SUV.?

Versatile: The new C5X is the perfect blend of estate, saloon and SUV

地雷 was the C5X 加える Plug-in Hybrid 225 8-速度(を上げる) (a)自動的な/(n)自動拳銃, which costs from £39,960 rising to £42,710 予定 to extras 含むing metallic paint (£650), 昇格d 内部の 削減する 含むing 前進するd 慰安 seats with massaging (£800) and a panoramic roof and sun-blind (£1,300).?

連合させるing a turbocharged direct 燃料 注射 PureTech 180 1.6-litre 石油 engine with an 81.2kWh electric モーター and 12.4kWh lithium イオン 殴打/砲列 combination, my PHEV produced a total of 225 horsepower?and 加速するd from 残り/休憩(する) to 62mph in a decent 7.9 seconds. It has a 最高の,を越す 速度(を上げる) (where 合法的な) of 145mph.?

Yet with judicious 運動ing the PHEV 配達するs 燃料 economy of up to 236 miles, and an electric-only 無-放出/発行s 範囲 of up to 38 miles. CO2 放出/発行s are a mere 30g/km.

There are also two pure 石油 選択s ― a frugal three?cylinder 1.2-litre 130 and a 1.6-litre 180 ― but 意味ありげに, and deliberately, no ディーゼルs. All powertrains are linked t o a smooth eight-速度(を上げる) (a)自動的な/(n)自動拳銃 gearbox.?

Packed with 道具, the C5X is built for 慰安, not high-業績/成果 antics, and 成し遂げるs admirably. There are four 運動ing 方式s: electric (供給するd you still have?告発(する),告訴(する)/料金); hybrid; 慰安; and sport. I 設立する it an engaging and relaxing 運動. Sport 方式 is 広大な/多数の/重要な, while hybrid will save on 燃料 economy ― 特に welcome at this time of 急に上がるing pump prices.?

There are three 削減する levels: Sense 加える, 向こうずね and 向こうずね 加える ― with prices starting at £27,790 for the 石油 130 in Sense 加える 削減する.

I took it for a delightfully relaxed spin around the leafy country 小道/航路s of Worcestershire and Herefordshire, 同様に as though the towns and hills of the Malverns. I even took a 転換 for a sneaky peek at the Shelsley Walsh hill-climb, but decided against a cheeky ascent up the 跡をつける while no-one was looking.

Another 利益 is that you can 生成する electric 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 as you 運動, 増加するing your 燃料 economy even more.

Citroen say sales will be '顧客 driven' which means they will be built to order ? there won't be lots piling up in showrooms: 'No car will be built without a 顧客 behind it.'

And the UK is a big market for Citroen ? 代表するing around 10 per cent of its 全世界の sales.
