2023 Citroen C5 X Interior
With a steering wheel normal in both size and shape, a straightforward dashboard, and physical climate controls, the C5 X’s interior is less confronting than a Peugeot’s.
Despite Citroen supposedly sitting below Peugeot in the Stellantis pecking order, there’s still a premium look and feel and, though it’s not as quirky as Citroen cabins of yore, there are some distinctive touches.
A strip of trim bisects the dashboard and connects with wings that fan out onto the doors, with the latter detail reminiscent of Peugeots like the 3008 and 5008. This trim isn’t wood, however, as it would appear from a distance. Instead, it’s pale-coloured trim with a pattern comprised of Citroen’s dual chevron logo.
There’s also a distinctively patterned, rubberised material used across much of the dashboard, Citroen eschewing the traditional graining used by most brands.
