Lovely car. Looks fantastic compared to all the boring boxes we have today, plus it's wonderfully refreshing to see a manufacturer strive towards comfort and creating a nice space to be in, rather than low profile tyres and ridiculously firm suspension because people seem to have an inability to deal with body roll these days.

My dad has a C5 from 2007 with 150.000 miles. Still love the car but is getting less economical to drive ( in town), and some maintenance issues recently. He is looking for a upgrade, so we test drove a C5X. I have to say so much better on some aspects like, build quality, noise, vibrations, seats & tech. The C5X is way better in corners compared to the old ones. On the motorway I feel like the old Hydro pneumatic suspension is more comfortable than the new one. Also the plugg in model has a really tiny boot for the size of the car. I am not to convinced about the 1.6liter motor. When you floor it it makes a lot of noise, gearbox doesn't feel a smooth as it could be. The C5X with Electric motor & 80kwH / 175kw charge speed would be the dream edition of this car.

The hybrid has a few downsides (really slow charging, low range, less space, higher maintenance & insurance, losing worth quite fast too) and a bit softer suspension than the fuel engine. What I did not like driving the hybrid was mostly the gap you get when you hit the pedals a bit more rough and you feel when the real engine kicks in. As long as you are more relaxed, you barely notice when the 2nd motor joins the party. Noise level is really low if you get the upgraded glass though, havent tested the normal glass to be honest. As for the normal engines, both combustion engines are good on their own and for the way the car is designed. It's like complaining in a Ferrari that a Rolls Royce is more comfortable and complain on the Rolls that the Ferrari is faster in acceleration.

Stellantis in the US has almost nothing left that isn't a truck or Jeep. They introduced a compact Dodge branded SUV that is almost identical to an Alfa and has not tested very well. Meanwhile there are beautiful Citroens and Peugeots they could similarly easily turn into Chryslers but haven't. Either versions would fit the old Chrysler brand image of tech, luxury, and style.

Hi, I drive one of them. It homestly depends on your driving style. If you use e mode about 15 to 20 kilometers are realistic. If you drive hybrid u can make up to 500 kilometers in it. But if you push the car a lot that can go down to about 250 kilometers. But only if u accelerate hard a lot. It has a 40 liter tank in the hybrid version i think which is not a lot. But honestly the car is a lot of fun to drive and with recooperation you can get about 30 to 50% of your drive fully electric even with an empty battery.
