Compare the Citroen C3 Aircross vs Citroen C5 Aircross
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these two Citroens comes down to footprint and seating. The longer Citroen C5 Aircross only comes with two rows, whereas you can have the Citroen C3 Aircross with a third row of seats. In town, both cars absorb potholes and speed bumps well, aided by light steering that makes urban manoeuvres low effort. Head onto twisty roads, however, and neither is built for keen driving: the C5 Aircross feels wallowy around bends, while the soft suspension in the C3 Aircross means it leans a lot in corners. Step inside either SUV and you will spot plenty of cheap, hard plastics, though both cabins balance these out with pleasant fabric trims on the dashboard.
