POWERFUL CONSIDERATION. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONCERN AND POWERFUL PERFORMANCE AREN’T
USUALLY CRITERIA YOU’D GROUP TOGETHER.
BUT IN THE CITROËN C5, WE’VE EVOLVED OUR
TECHNOLOGY FOR GREENER, QUIETER ENGINES –
WITH PLENTY OF EXHILARATING PERFORMANCE.
IT’S JUST ONE MORE REASON YOU’LL FEEL
GOOD DRIVING THE CITROËN C5.
DRIVING PEACE OF MIND
A clean, efcient driving experience is at the heart of the Citroën brand. Our
cars are designed to the highest environmental standards and fuel-efciency is a
major priority for our engineers. The Citroën C5 takes this even further, ensuring
optimised CO
2
levels by cutting pollutant emissions with its electronically controlled
high pressure direct injection diesel engines, as well as its multi-valve petrol engines.
ENERGY SAVER
®
TYRES
With a reduction in rolling resistance of 20%, Michelin’s Energy Saver
®
tyres, tted
on HDi 115 versions, reduce the amount of energy needed to propel the car along
the road which results in a reduction in the fuel consumption. This is achieved with
no loss of grip or stability, with shorter stopping distances in wet conditions. The
tyre’s innovative architecture generates fuel savings of nearly 0.5 litres per 100km
(in combined cycle), resulting in a reduction in CO
2
emissions of nearly 19g/km
and around one tonne less CO
2
over the entire life of a Citroën C5.
BIG IDEAS, SMALL FOOTPRINT
15 years of development have gone into our HDi direct injection
engines, making them rened and frugal. In combination with
a beautifully simple Stop & Start system and sophisticated ETG
gearbox, the e-HDi 115 ETG6 can achieve 65.7mpg and CO
2
emissions of only 111g/km.
The ETG gearbox is an advanced transmission that lets you select
either electronically controlled clutch operation in auto mode, or
manual changes via the steering wheel mounted paddles. It’s part of
what makes Citroën efcient engineering unique. Stop & Start puts
the engine into idle mode as you decelerate and stops altogether as
you come to a halt. The moment you take your foot off the brake, it
restarts silently and without vibration. It helps to reduce CO
2
by about
5g/km and fuel consumption by 15% in the city.
