You say you want a capable, family-friendly car with a practical boot space? Look no further, as the Citroen C5 X is here to meet your expectations. Boasting a rather capacious 545 litres of boot space, the Citroen C5 X will swallow up all of your luggage, shopping, and more. But how does this number stack up against its rivals and Citroen's own vehicle line-up? Let's find out.
Since we're discussing the first generation of the Citroen C5 X (2022 onwards), there's not much to say about its trunk evolution, given that it's the first of its kind. However, it's worth noting that the C5 X was designed with practicality in mind right from the get-go. Backed by a roomy 1640 litre capacity with the rear seats folded flat, it makes packing for weekend getaways, IKEA trips, or a family holiday a breeze.
When compared to other vehicles in the Citroen line-up, the C5 X's 545 litre boot space proudly surpasses the boot space of the Citroen C3 (300 litres) and the Citroen C4 (380 litres). Although slightly smaller than the Citroen C5 Aircross which offers 580 litres, the C5 X's trunk is still considered to be rather generous. But naturally, it falls short (and understandably so) when compared to the whopping 4500 litres boot space found in the Citroen Jumper Kombi.
Now, let's see how the Citroen C5 X measures up against its nearest competitors. The ever-practical Skoda Superb boasts an impressive 660 litres of trunk space, while the VW Passat offers a healthy 650 litres. Apart from these two family savers, most of the C5 X's rivals fall short in the battle of boot space. For example, the Renault Talisman offers 572 litres, and the Opel Insignia comes in at 560 litres. Even the formidable BMW 3er-Reihe offers just 500 litres, giving the Citroen C5 X the upper hand in terms of boot capacity. So, pack your bags and hit the road, because the Citroen C5 X is waiting for you and your family to embark on your next adventure.
