Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · III PureTech 130 (2020+, facelift 2024)

Citroën C4

C-segment model on the CMP platform from Stellantis, a cross between hatchback and crossover with raised seating. The common petrol is the PureTech 130 (1.2 three-cylinder turbo); below it sits a PureTech 100. The 2024 facelift renewed the front and the interior, not the drivetrain. WLTP consumption around 5.7 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative); owners report 6.3-6.8 l/100km in mixed use (public forums, not measured by us). Shares the body with the electric ë-C4. Boot 380 l.

Profile · I facelift (2022+, Hybrid 136)

Citroën C5 Aircross

Compact to mid-size SUV on the Stellantis EMP2 platform. The Hybrid 136 combines a 1.2 three-cylinder turbo with a 48V mild-hybrid system; WLTP around 5.7 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative). Boot 580 l with five seats. Indicative starting price, check the official configurator for the current figure per version.
