The C5 shall return
Yesterday at the Frankfurt motor show Citroen announced that the C5 will return in 2020.
No such joy for lovers of the Xantia but still a step in the right direction.

Re: The C5 shall return
So they will use a number 5......lets see if they maintain the "big Citroen" concept (which they have never sold many of)

Re: The C5 shall return
Well, one thing's for sure... I won't be buying one of the C5 Aircross's pictured in that article. The only thing I like about it are the doorhandles, and that's not quite enough to tempt me

Sadly no longer a C5 owner
Re: The C5 shall return
They say they are.
"Jackson said spinning off the DS subbrand in 2014 created gaps in the Citroen lineup, which were now being filled as the brand adopts all eight of the body variations defined by parent PSA Group in its passenger car and light commercial vehicle range."
Weather we can believe them is another question.

What did the x7 use?
Re: The C5 shall return
You don't happen to know the Xantias one as well do you? I've never come across the chassis codes, it's quite Interesting.

Re: The C5 shall return

Re: The C5 shall return
Basically we'll be getting the cheap as chips Chinese version of the C5 that's already on sale there (why reinvent the reinvented wheel?) As long as we get the hydraulic cushions and none of the tat from Opel, it might be enough to peak my interest....
I'm also guessing that when it does get reincarnated over here, we'll end up with the energiser bunny version - crammed with Duracell batteries and a non-negotiable Stop-Start system on the way to full electric... Oh, the joy, I can't wait
All the Hydropneumatic dies hards amongst us may well have to jump ship to the Landcruiser that has nicked Citroen's suspension it would seem....

Re: The C5 shall return
Has anyone test drove a cactus with the new suspension? I'd like to but never have the time.
Thanks harlequin, I did try asking Google but I didn't find the answer. I did find some interesting reading though, particularly an old thread on piston heads.
