Citroen’s C5 X is finally going hybrid, and will join its combustion sibling in the lineup in the first half of 2024
Citroen has confirmed it will bring a plug-in hybrid version of its C5 X wagon to Australia during the first half of 2024.
Rivalling the likes of the Skoda Superb wagon, Genesis G70 Shooting Brake and the Skoda Octavia wagon, the Citroen C5 X is set to become a little more powerful, and is expected to be more efficient, too.
The Citroen C5 X plug-in hybrid is expected to have an electric-only range of around 55km (WLTP).
Pricing and specification are yet to be determined, however we can estimate that the C5 X plug-in hybrid could cost around $65,000 before on-road costs.
During 2022 and 2023, Chasing Cars ran a long-term Citroen C5 X wagon, which you can read about on our website.
Although Citroen Australia has not yet given much detail about its plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, in overseas markets such as the United Kingdom the same PHEV model is available.
In the UK, the PHEV consists of a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a 80kW electric motor and eight-speed automatic transmission. Total outputs are rated at 167kW/250Nm, which is a 34kW increase from the non-hybrid model. Torque remains at the same 250Nm between the powertrain types.
Although Australian specification is yet to be confirmed, the plug-in hybrid Citroen C5 X is available overseas with the following features:
More details for the Australian range are expected by the end of 2023.
All prices listed are before on-road costs.
