Citroen C5 2008 UAE Prices & Specs

The front-wheel-drive C5 is available in a 5-door sedan or a 5-door wagon form, both with upward-opening rear liftgates, and it can be credited with a smooth ride with lots of space, thanks to a restyling back in 2005 that also saw equipment levels upgraded and suspension modified to meet earlier criticisms of ride comfort. Sound-proofing and insulation have been improved too. The long front and rear overhangs makes the C5 look bloated, but its details make it stand out in a crowd. The engine line-up in this region consists of a 2.0-litre four-cylinder and a 3.0-litre V6. The 2.0-litre can be had with either a manual or an automatic, while the range-topping 3.0-litre comes with a six-speed tiptronic-style auto gearbox. The C5 features the latest Hydractive 3 version of Citroen's hydro-pneumatic suspension, with automatic height adjustment according to speed and terrain, and continuous alteration of characteristics to suit driving styles. This technically complex car comes with features such as automatic window-closing when it rains, rain-sensing wipers and adaptive headlights which 'bend' around corners and options like a lane-departure warning system, which vibrates the driver's seat if you drift over the white lines without indicating. Seven airbags are standard, along with traction control, ESP and ABS.
