UK VERDICTS
CITROEN E-C5 AIRCROSS
All-new family SUV reaches Britain in small-battery electric form
TESTED 2.12.25, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE DELIVERIES NOW
TESTER’S NOTE
This is another of Stellantis’s STLA Medium-platform EVs that seems heavy and over-engineered and thus lacks real-world efficiency. It’s an uncharacteristic problem for a Citroën.

Any electric car buyer who is offered an extra 100 miles of range for less than £400 of extra cost is almost certain to accept. Typically £400 gets you about two-thirds of a metallic paint job or half a towbar yet, thanks to the way the UK’s Electric Car Grant scheme works, this is the scenario that buyers of the electric version of Citroën’s new C5 Aircross will find themselves in.
