We test the mild hybrid version of Citroens Comfy Family SUV in family size …
How time flies. The first time that I was driving a flight crosso Citroen C5 was already in Great Britain in 2019, shortly after the start in the UK.
At this point it was available with petrol or diesel force. A plug-in hybrid joined the area in 2022, and now there is a mild hybrid version die Aircross-Serie-Hybrid 136 in order to be precise.
The C5 aircraft was also treated with a facelifting in 2022, which sharpened its appearance (especially the front end) and overtook the dashboard with a new, larger infotainment screen and other changes. Ultimately, it is the same car with the focus on comfort.
In the heart of the C5 Aircross Hybrid 136 there is a strongly revised version of the well-known 1.2-liter three-cylinder pureetech turbo petrol engine (used in the entire stake, to which Peugeot, Fiat and Vauxhall) with its increased performance is increased. 136 PS. The device is combined with a 48 V mild hybrid electric motor, which increases up to 28 hp of peak output.
In other words, the small 0.4 kWh lithium-ion battery and the electric motor support the petrol engine. Even at low speed, it can be driven to 100% electrical power for short distances (for example when crawling in traffic or when maneuvering).
Without becoming too technical, the electric motor is integrated into a brand new six-speed dual clutch transmission with the name E-DSC6, which was specially developed for working with the hybrid system.
According to Citroen, this can lead to a fuel consumption of 15% with a regular pureTech 130 petrol (30% in urban areas), with a claimed number of 53 MPG. There is also a reduction in CO2 emissions by 15% (up to 129 g/km).
In addition, Citroen calculates up to 50% of the city trips in electrical mode.
In terms of performance, everything that reflects in a sprint time of 10-62 miles per hour of 10.2 seconds and a top speed of 124 miles per hour.
Inside there is very citroen with an attractive mix of cool design, comfort, space and technology. Equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster in front of the driver and a 10-inch HD touchscreen in the center console, it costs 27,780 GBP.
Standard technologies for security and driver aid include autonomous emergency braking (AEB), Active Lane Departure Warning and Active Blind Spot Monitoring as well as three ISOFIX assembly on the front passenger and outside seats.
Citroen’s “Progressive Hydraulic Cushion” Anlation System “For a uniquely smooth and comfortable journey” is equipped with the C5 airline, while the advanced comfort seats are well padded and comfortable.
It is also practically with many small storage rooms that were cast around the cabin, as well as three individual rear seats that slide, fold and lean back. There is also a spacious trunk volume of 580 liters and 720 liters (depending on the position of the rear seats), whereby the seats of the second row extend to 1,630 liters.
The Citroen C5 Aircross Hybrid 136 seems to be alive on the street thanks to the support of the electric motor, although the gear is temporarily sluggish.
You can hear the thrumme and the 1.2-liter engine provided at the start, but it soon sits down, and from then on it will only be loud under severe acceleration.
The steering is light and the journey is generally very smooth and comfortable, although it can be chopped off a little on really rough surfaces.
If you are tried in the best cruise when you are trying to develop further, it is surprisingly few bodies in more demanding corners.
After all, the driving position is on the high side, even if the seat is the lowest, while the passengers are also quite high up, but the view is good.
The mild hybrid competitors of the C5 Aircross Hybrid 136 include Kia Sportage, Nissan Qashqai and Hyundai Tucson.
Verdict: The Citroen C5 Aircross Hybrid 136 should definitely be on a shortlist of five -seats from the SUV family. Competitive, spacious, economical, filled with security equipment and unmistakable. It is worth a test drive.
