Benefiting from a completely new approach by Citroën's designers, the new, spacious Citroën C5 is the successful combination of French flair with Teutonic-like levels of quality, coupled with the highest standards of comfort, innovation and in-car technology for which the company is renowned.

The all-new C5 conveys a real sense of prestige, with its state-of-the-art design in a classic, thoroughbred saloon body. The C5 will strike a chord with drivers looking for a vehicle with status, stylistic individuality and the levels of performance and reliability expected of a hard-working vehicle.

Exceptionally well equipped, it comes with a long list of features that include a driver's seat massager, lane departure warning system, acoustic laminated glass, self-levelling suspension, automatic electric parking brake and directional headlights, while every model in the range comes with at least seven airbags, ESP with traction control, automatic air-conditioning, speed limiter, cruise control, adaptive front-lighting system, and Citroën's unique fixed hub steering wheel.

With its long, sleek body, sculpted lines and high waist, the C5's striking styling gives it a true sense of status. The front of the car is characterised by large air-intakes and long incisive headlamps that flank the prominent chrome chevrons and assert the C5's identity. From the rear, the distinctive concave window and two-part boomerang lights give it a purposeful, determined impression.

Internally the C5 offers its occupants an environment of quality, comfort and safety. Utilising the company's most advanced vehicle technology, the new C5 offers an involved, reassuring and satisfying driving experience, ideally suited to drivers who spend long hours on the road, or for those seeking secure transportation for their families.

Inside the cabin, the same taut, flowing lines seen on the exterior are replicated in the curvy detailing around the doors and dashboard, echoing the pursuit of quality throughout the car. Mood lighting further enhances this feeling, with ambient light glowing from the car's doors and dashboard.

The attractive styling is exemplified by the instrument panel design, where aviation-inspired annular needles run around each of the dials, allowing an electronic display unit to be integrated in the centre of each, providing the driver with further visual information. The aircraft theme also continues with the overhead warning lights.

Driver and passengers are fully protected by up to nine front, side and curtain airbags, as well as a specially created torso-shaped bag which is deployed thanks to the unique Citroën-specific fixed hub steering wheel, for ultimate safety. Awarded a five-star Euro NCAP rating for adult occupant protection, the new C5 is one of the safest cars on the road.

Control in difficult conditions is aided by the C5's advanced braking system - electronic brakeforce distribution, emergency braking assistance, ABS and ESP are all fitted as standard. Citroën's much lauded lane departure warning system (LDWS) is also available, to warn drivers of unintentionally crossing lane markings without signalling.

Improved visibility and safety at night is provided by the C5's enhanced headlight system. Not only are xenon dual-function directional headlamps available, but static AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) is standard on all models and improves visibility and safety on corners and at junctions.

Load space is abundant, thanks to the split folding rear seats, which lie completely flat, to increase boot space. Access is made even easier by the unique shape of the concave windscreen, which creates a larger boot aperture.

To meet the full range of driver needs and preferences, the new C5 is available with a wide choice of engines from launch. The petrol powerplants include 127bhp 1.8i 16V and 143bhp 2.0i 16V units, while there are four HDi diesel engines - 110bhp, 138bhp, 173bhp and V6 208 units - all fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter System that virtually eliminates particle emissions.

Prices start from €29,999. For more information visit Muscats Motors in Rue d'Argens, Gzira.
