Comparison: Turning circle CITROËN C5 Aircross vs. competitors 2025

Over the generations, the Citroen C5 Aircross has been as stable as a seasoned ballet dancer when it comes to its twirling capabilities. Both the first generation (2019-2022) and its facelift (2022-now) have maintained a turning circle of 10.70 meters. This consistency is not just commendable; it's crucial. Changing the turning circle could potentially throw off the vehicle's handling dynamics, akin to a chef altering the ingredients to a perfect recipe. Citroen, wisely, has chosen not to fiddle with perfection.

In the grand ballet of Citroen models, the C5 Aircross performs a graceful pas de deux with the Citroen C3, both sharing a turning circle of 10.70 meters. It's intriguing, almost like watching twins with different destinies intertwine on the dance floor. As for the rest of the Citroen ensemble, such as the Berlingo and the C3 Aircross which pirouette at 10.80 meters, and the considerably more elephantine e-Spacetourer twirling at a distant 12.90 meters, the C5 Aircross holds its ground, poised and composed, neither the spriteliest nor the most cumbersome.

Skating into the broader arena, the C5 Aircross finds itself in a tangle with a multitude of rivals, each bringing its own flair to the dance-off. The Hyundai Bayon, a nimble stepper, edges out with a turning circle of 10.40 meters, showing that size isn’t everything. The VW ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron, both with a turning circle of 10.20 meters, pirouette with an electric glide, proving the electric avant-garde can whirl with the best. On the other end, the Cadillac XT5 and the Audi Q8, stretching their turning circles to 11.90m and a sprawling 13.30m respectively, are the lumbering giants of this performance, possibly trading agility for majestic presence. Thus, in this complex choreography of cars, the Citroen C5 Aircross holds its performance steady, a testament to its thoughtful engineering and design, making it a versatile partner in the urban dance of driving.
