The nameplate was previously used on the
Citroën C5. Dubbed the
C5 X, the "X" meaning crossover, it is styled as a
station wagon, with increased ground clearance. It is a large
crossover SUV, for buyers who want a sport utility vehicle, or a wagon. The vehicle is intended to be a combination of an SUV, sedan and estate. It is available as a plug-in hybrid with shared technology from the
Peugeot 508. The C5 X is marketed as the Dongfeng Citroën Versailles C5 X in China, resurrecting the Versailles name once used for the
Ford Versailles. The C5 X follows the design of the 2016 CXperience concept. The C5 X is approximately shorter, about taller, and about less wide than the CXperience. The C5 X
PHEV comes in 4 driving modes, Electric, Hybrid, Comfort and Sport, with of fully electric driving. The C5 X is based on the
EMP2 V3, shared with the similar
Peugeot 408. In May 2025, the C5 X was discontinued in the United Kingdom with
right-hand drive production ended in the same month, therefore the
C5 Aircross became the flagship model in the market. However, sales of the C5 X continued in other European countries. Thierry Koskas, CEO of Citroën explained, "''I don't think Citroën is very present in the market with the C5 X. It's a tiny segment, because as soon as you go into the D-segment, you compete with premium brands, and the sales of generalist brands are small. So I'm not sure we'll do anything in this segment in the future."'' ==Specifications==
