Our test car this week, the new C5 Aircross, continues that tradition as a rolling living room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom0 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">This second-generation C5 Aircross is now sharper and more muscular-looking. At the front sits Citro\u00ebn\u2019s new three-point light signature, while around the back, the rear lights stretch outward like aerodynamic punctuation marks. Inside is a cabin clearly designed with families in mind, the kind that arrives armed with snacks, chargers, drinks and at least one object that is destined to end up under a seat. Storage, therefore, is plentiful. The door bins are deep enough for large bottles, the centre console is impressively spacious, and the boot space is 565 litres with the seats up and up to 1,668 litres when folded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fancy a car that prioritises comfort over performance and makes for a practical, family friendly SUV?
