Joining the SUV bandwagon in India is Citroën, the newest player in the market, with its first offering in the shape of the contemporary C5 Aircross. With this crossover, the company aims to offer customers a taste of what the brand is known for – comfort and a smooth drive experience. And unlike other newbie brands like Kia and MG, which quickly established themselves in the country with the help of affordable and value-for-money offerings, Citroën has opted for a premium positioning strategy. With prices ranging between Rs 30.80 lakh and Rs 32.30 lakh, the C5 Aircross is pricier than other monocoque SUVs like the Jeep Compass and Hyundai Tucson.

The highlights of the C5 Aircross from the first drive report were its spacious interiors, its excellent ride comfort and its engine smoothness and refinement. But how is this car to live with, and how does it perform in our exhaustive tests? We find out.
