Citroen C5 X

1.6 Plug-in Hybrid 225 Shine

Thinking about a new car? Check out my Citroën C5 X Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) in the Shine trim, first registered in July 2022. This car is a cool mix of a hatchback, an estate, and an SUV, making it a really versatile choice for city driving or longer trips.

It's got 54,250 kilometers on it and is in really good shape, well-looked after. Plus, it just got a fresh set of Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires, so you're all set for safe driving in any weather, and that's a nice saving for you right away!



What makes this C5 X special (Shine Pack - it's got all the good stuff):



1. Super Comfy Seats: The Citroën Advanced Comfort seats are designed to be extra soft, and they even have heating, ventilation, and a massage function up front – seriously, it's like driving from your favorite armchair!



2. Smart Tech: You get a big 12-inch HD touchscreen with My Citroën Drive Plus, built-in 3D navigation, and it works perfectly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There's even a handy wireless phone charger.



3. Head-Up Display: Key driving info pops up right on your windscreen, so you can keep your eyes on the road.



4. Helpful Driving Aids: It comes with Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Positioning Assist, Rear Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Assist, and it reads speed limit signs for you. All there to make your drive easier and safer.



5. Plug-in Hybrid Power: This C5 X has a 1.6L petrol engine plus an electric motor, giving you a good 225 hp. You can drive up to 64 km on electric power alone (realistically it's somewhere between 40 and 50 kms), which is great for getting around the city quietly and efficiently.



6. Easy to Use: Keyless Entry & Start means you don't need to fumble for your keys, and it has a smooth 8-speed automatic EAT8 gearbox.



7. Looks Good: It rides on 19-inch 'Onyx Black' diamond-cut alloy wheels and has a design that really stands out.



This C5 X is a great car if you're looking for comfort, practicality, and a bit of electric driving. It's been well-maintained (last big maintenance done at Citroen in February 2025), and all the extra features and new tires make it a really appealing package.
