Citroën C5 Aircross Named ‘Family Car of the Year’

Award winners are chosen by a panel of expert automotive journalists from a range of leading News UK titles including The Sun, The Times, The Sunday Times Magazine, and LUXX Magazine. The judges at the awards, which took place at the start of October, dubbed the New C5 Aircross ‘The Comfy One’ in recognition of the model’s sofa-like seats and pillow-soft suspension. The model showcases Citroën Advanced Comfort®, combining Advanced Comfort® Seats with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions® suspension to help isolate occupants from the road surface and deliver a smooth, relaxing driving experience.

This award also recognised Citroën UK’s focus on comfort, practicality and family-friendly design when creating the New Citroën C5 Aircross. Together with a generous interior space and a practical cabin designed for everyday life, the New Citroën C5 Aircross continues Citroën UK’s longstanding focus on making every journey more enjoyable for everyone. Features such as a 651-litre boot and motorised tailgate have been introduced to the latest model, making sure you have room for everything you need without compromising on rear seat space and helping you to load and unload luggage with ease. Inside the cabin, further clever storage compartments mean you can keep snacks, toys and other essentials at the ready for those longer family road trips.  

Rob Gill, Motors Editor at The Sun, said: "Perhaps we should rename this award ‘The Comfy One’. Sofa-like seats. Tick. Pillow-soft suspension. Tick. Plenty of room in the back for tall adults. Tick. New C5 Aircross was clearly designed by a person who leads an actual life."

Greg Taylor, Managing Director, Citroën UK, said: "We're delighted that the New C5 Aircross has been named ‘Family Car of the Year’. For Citroën, comfort is about much more than ride quality. It's about creating a car that makes everyday life easier for families, whether that's taking the stress out of the school run, providing plenty of space for passengers and luggage, or offering powertrains that suit different lifestyles. The New C5 Aircross embodies that approach, so it's fantastic to see it recognised with this award."
