What is it?

The C5 X is Citroen's quiet flagship for Australia, a 4,805 mm fastback wagon that splits the difference between a sedan, a wagon and a hatchback. Plug-in hybrid only, with a 1.6 PureTech turbo petrol making 133 kW paired to an 81 kW electric motor and an 8-speed e-EAT8 automatic, for 165 kW combined and 59 km of WLTP EV range. With Citroen Australia now service-only, this page is a historical record for the cars already in the country.

Single grade on offer in Australia. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.

Interior and Technology

165 kW combined plug-in hybrid output and 59 km of WLTP EV range, paired with Advanced Comfort active suspension and quilted Citroen comfort seats that no German rival at this price point matches.

Citroen Australia became service-only in November 2024, so new C5 X stock is finite and aftersales coverage is shrinking. No locally confirmed ANCAP rating.

Quick Buyer Context

Should you buy the C5 X?

Reasons to buy

  • 165 kW combined plug-in hybrid output and 59 km of WLTP EV range, paired with Advanced Comfort active suspension and quilted Citroen comfort seats that no German rival at this price point matches.
  • Warranty: 5 years, unlimited km. Battery: 8 years.
  • 545 L (1,640 L seats down) boot, segment-competitive cargo space.

Reasons to wait

  • Citroen Australia became service-only in November 2024, so new C5 X stock is finite and aftersales coverage is shrinking. No locally confirmed ANCAP rating.
  • You want a car you can actually buy new from a Citroen dealer (the brand is service-only in Australia from November 2024), you need an ANCAP-rated body, or you live outside the metro east coast where the dealer network was already thin.
  • Confirm warranty transferability and parts availability through the Stellantis service network before signing. Drive-away pricing was never officially published, so negotiate from the $73,990 plus on-roads sticker.
  • Top trim climbs to $73,990 plus on-roads.

Check before you buy
