The order books for the Citroen C5 X car lease range have opened and it’s an impressive flagship offering.
It’s a new flagship that features a bold crossover design, and the order books have now opened for the Citroen C5 X car lease range.

It’s available with plug-in hybrid petrol powertrains and prices start at £26,490.
The firm says that the new C5 X offering is a celebration not only of its past, but of its future too since it incorporates various design features from some of its iconic models, including the DS.
