Detailed analysis of the Citroën C5 Break 2.2 HDi 173 FAP Exclusive · 170 CV (2006-2007)
General description
The 2006 Citroën C5 Break is the ultimate expression of comfort and versatility according to the French manufacturer. In its Exclusive version with the 170 horsepower 2.2 HDi engine, it represented the pinnacle of the range, an invitation to devour kilometers with a smoothness and poise that made you feel in a higher class. It was a car for families who didn't want to give up either space or the pleasure of traveling.
Driving experience
Driving this C5 is an almost magical experience. The hydropneumatic suspension isolates you from the outside world, turning broken roads into a soft carpet. You float, you don't drive. The 2.2 HDi engine pushes with a powerful and silent force from very low revs thanks to its 370 Nm of torque, making overtaking and merging a mere formality. It is a tireless cruiser, a moving haven of peace that begs you to travel far.
Design and aesthetics
Its exterior design is elegant and functional, a classic estate silhouette that prioritizes space without neglecting aesthetics. But it's the interior that wins you over. The seats are true armchairs, space is abundant, and the feeling of quality for the era was remarkable. The huge 563-liter trunk and the variable loading sill thanks to the suspension made it an incredibly practical and well-thought-out adventure companion.
Technology and features
The crown jewel was, without a doubt, the Hydractive 3+ suspension, a technological marvel that adapted the car's firmness and height in real time. It was a system that completely defined the vehicle's personality. Additionally, the diesel engine with a sequential twin-turbo was an advanced piece of engineering that offered brilliant performance with contained consumption. The Exclusive trim added a touch of luxury with features that were not common in all its rivals.
Competition
In its time, it faced heavyweights like the Volkswagen Passat Variant, the Ford Mondeo Sportbreak, or its cousin, the Peugeot 407 SW. While the Passat offered impeccable sobriety and build quality and the Mondeo a more dynamic chassis, none could even dream of approaching the C5's level of ride comfort. That was its calling card, its soul, and its great selling point.
Conclusion
The Citroën C5 Break 2.2 HDi is more than just a family car; it's a philosophy on wheels. It is the perfect choice for those who value comfort above all else and enjoy the pleasure of stress-free travel. A car with an overwhelming personality, a powerful engine, and a capacity to care for its passengers that is still admirable today. A modern classic that makes you fall in love with how it makes you feel.
