In the fact that Citroen is comfortable, you do not need to convince anyone. And did he not lose his charm with the advent of diesel power units under the hood?

We took the car with the weakest engine to the test. Of course, compared to gasoline fellows, the sound, heated from under the hood, is quite specific, but the acoustic and all the more moral discomfort does not deliver such work. The first meters of the path were not particularly noteworthy. Everything as usual, even more so that the car was the automatic 6-speed gearbox. Interesting began when it took quickly to get out of the intersection. Despite the fact that the power of this engine is 138 liters. s., The start turned out to be sufficiently frisky. Of course, 12 seconds before hundreds are not such an impressive result, but it is worth remembering that the car and with a two-liter gasoline engine can be remembered exactly the same dynamics. Diesel takes the moment. In this case, it is equal to 320 nm, and this is already with 2000 revolutions.

Plus, due to the turbine with a variable traction geometry, in almost the entire turn range, even, which also has a positive effect on both dynamics and riding comfort. Well, most importantly, in contrast to its petrol fellow, C5 almost did not spend fuel. Those ten liters of the diesel fuel that we poured into the tank, we were enough for us to drive around the city of about a hundred kilometers. Comfortably drive!
