Tourer builds on C5 legacy

Following the launch of the Citroen C5 estate model earlier this year, Muscats Motors Ltd has announced the arrival of the C5 Tourer.

The C5 estate features elegant exterior styling, with a stylish front end identical to that of the saloon and a rear end of determined, powerful appearance. The body style reveals a strong identity and real versatility.

It is 4830 mm long, 1,860 mm wide and 1,480 mm tall. The proportions are generous, but the additional volume has no impact on the overall lines. Reflecting the sculpted design of the saloon, the rear end features geometric shapes that suggest width and convenience from a horizontal perspective.

The opulent, sophisticated interior of the new C5 is an invitation to travel. The dashboard conveys an immediate impression of quality and sophistication with its full, solid forms. The design of the door panels reflects the choices made in terms of elegant styling. Overall, the cabin conveys an impression of quality and robust strength.

The interior design of the new C5 matches the exterior styling. It subtly combines sophistication and innovation, generosity and space. Impeccable road manners are part of a relaxed enjoyable drive.

Both the metallic and Hydractive 3 Plus suspensions bring new progress in the balance between steering and damping for enhanced passenger comfort and safety. This is reflected in the performance of the new C5. In the same way as on the Citroën C6, the Hydractive 3 Plus and metallic suspensions comprise a double wishbone and linked hub carrier at the front and a multilink set-up at the rear with a drop-link longitudinal arm. The efficiency of the suspension is reinforced by the torsional stiffness of the body which distributes vertical force continuously and equally over all four wheels while contributing to the vehicle's road holding.

Suspension comfort was a key objective in the design of the new C5. Citroën has used its expertise to develop two types of suspension to meet the varied needs of customers: a Hydractive 3 Plus suspension with two settings and a metallic suspension.

Controlled by sensors on each axle, the Hydractive 3 Plus suspension maintains the vehicle at a constant height, regardless of the load and number of passengers. The metallic suspension takes full advantage of the new C5's sophisticated running gear.

A winning combination based on Citroën expertise - with a double wishbone layout at the front and multilink set-up at the rear - strike an excellent balance between comfort and roadholding.

The front end of the new C5 features upper and lower absorbers to soak up the energy released in the event of impact. The cabin structure has been stiffened to prevent intrusions or buckling of the survival cell. In the event of impact, the brake and clutch pedals collapse into the bottom of the foot well to limit injury to the driver's legs.

Prices for the C5 Tourer (2.0 diesel) start at €43,093.
