Current Citroen C5, made in China by the Dongfeng-PSA joint venture. Price starts at 176.900 yuan and ends at 298.900 yuan. Engines: 2.0, 2.3 and 3.0 V6.

The 2.0 will not return in the facelifted Citroen C5, it will be replaced by the new 1.6 turbo with 163hp (not 140 as reported earlier). The 1.6 turbo will be a very important engine for Citroen China, it is currently only used in a few models but will used to power almost the whole China-made range.

The word ‘Citroen’ under the logo is new, which is kinda weird, because not many Chinese car buyers can actually read that. Younger generations can, but they won’t buy a C5, the buy a C2 or an Audi. Light units are new, bumper unchanged.

Big change here! Dash is all new with a fatter center console as its centerpiece, with a big touchscreen as its centerpiece. Center tunnel is new too with a lotta chrome around the gear lever. Materials seem much better than before, compare:
