The Saloon and Tourer versions of the mid-size C5 have been upgraded with revised headlamps that incorporate LED daytime running lights, darker tinted rear light clusters, and re-homologated engines.
It all started when a middle-aged man (evidently intoxicated) drove his Citroen C5 on the opposite side of the road. A police officer attempted to stop the driver by opening the door of his car and talk some reason into him.
At first, it looked like the police man succeeded and that the driver was willing to make a 'U' turn and stop on the other side of the road, but he didn't...
Citroen's handsome-looking C5 that is available in both sedan and estate forms is entering the 2010 model year with a revised engine line-up and equipment upgrades in the UK. The key improvements concern the introduction of the BMW Group co-developed 1.6i 16V THP 155 HP petrol engine that takes the place of the outgoing 2.0i 16V 143 HP unit and the new 2.0 HDi 16V 160 HP diesel that replaces both the 2.0 HDi 16V 140 HP and the 2.2 HDi 16V 173 HP engines.The 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol unit produces an output of 155 horsepower and 240Nm (177lb.ft) of torque at 1,400 rpm. Citroen claims that this represents an 8 per cent increase in power, combined with an 18.5 per cent increase in combined-cycle fuel economy and a 16 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions (down from 198g/km to 167g/km) over the previous 2.0-liter unit.
As for the new 2.0HDi 16V diesel, it provides an output of 160 horsepower and 340Nm (251lb.ft) of torque at 2,000 rpm. In comparison to the outgoing 140hp manual C5 Saloon, Citroen says that there's a 14 per cent increase in power, a 3 per cent increase in fuel economy (combined cycle) and a 4 per cent reduction CO2 emissions (down from 153g/km to 147g/km).
In the UK, the SX trim level is renamed VTR while Citroen has upgraded the Exclusive models with a new integrated Bluetooth system with USB Box. Detailed pricing and performance figures can be seen in the spec sheets below.
Even without any tuning mumbo-jumbo, we believe that the new Citroen C5 has more than enough flair to set it apart from most of its European and Japanese counterparts. However, Musketier’s subtle approach to the C5 is more than welcome. The German tuner wisely avoided the use of a full bodykit limiting changes to the 20-inch dark alloy wheels wrapped in 245 rubber along with a set of sporty chromed tailpipes. Buyers can opt for a subtle lip spoiler and side skirts as seen in the picture above. -ContinuedMoreover, for those who opted for the base C5 equipped with a conventional suspension, Musketier offers a lowering kit that brings the luscious Gallic sedan 35mm closer to the ground.
If you’re looking for a bit more oomph, the German tuner also offers an upgrade kit for the 2.2 HDi and 2.7 V6 HDi diesel engines. In the case of the 2.2 HDi motor, power is raised from 173 to 201 HP while the more powerful V6 diesel engine gains an extra 22 HP raising total output to 240 HP.
