Product Overview

Citroen C5 II (chassis code RD/TD) is a mid-size sedan in production from 2008 to 2017. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.6 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the Gen1 C5, the Gen2 model has a less offensive exterior design, though it still suffers from the lack of aesthetic appreciation from non-French people. What is interesting about this car is that the V6 models utilized the Hydractive 3 hydraulic suspension found in the C6.
To accommodate this suspension upgrade, the C5 also received double-wishbone front suspensions to go with multi-link suspensions. While unusual for a FWD vehicle, this setup offers superior handling characteristics than a normal strut setup.
