Citroen’s newest vehicle in Australia, the C5 X, has been awarded a five-star safety rating from safety authority ANCAP.
The Australian-spec C5 X received one more star than the C5 X sold in Europe, which ANCAP said was due to the fitment of a more advanced autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system to local vehicles.
It received a score of 82 per cent for adult occupant protection, 88 per cent for child occupant protection, 69 per cent for vulnerable road user protection, and 84 per cent for safety assist.
These results apply to both the petrol and diesel variants – only the petrol is sold here – and carry a 2022 date stamp.

“A camera-radar ‘fusion’ AEB system is fitted as standard to C5 X vehicles supplied in Australia, and this system was shown to provide improved car-to-car AEB performance over the camera-only system fitted to vehicles sold in Europe.”
Standard safety equipment across the range includes:
