C5 Aircross Highlights
On Target
Citroen's flagship in India is supremely engineered and feels truly luxurious to drive, but it doesn't justify its price.
What We Like
Unbelievably smooth ride, 2.0L diesel with 8-speed auto, and a true European premium crossover.
What We Do Not Like
Limited Citroen sales network, too expensive for a crossover, and suffers from low brand awareness.
