Today comes the announcement that after testing over 200 vehicles on sale in the UK, DieselCar & EcoCar Magazine’s Car of the Year accolade belongs to….
The road to two important victories
With the SUV market hotting up and the introduction of all-electric models, the importance of shining above all else has become imperitive. Charters Citroen of Aldershot’s team knows how good the C5 Aircross is (many of us drive one) but having the recognition to back this up is a staggering achievement. Beating out top contenders such as the Volvo XC40, Skoda Kodiaq and all-electric Jaguar i-Pace in the medium SUV category is as incredible achievement.
“It gives me enormous pleasure to reveal that the Citroën C5 Aircross is in the number one position this year and wins the title of DieselCar & EcoCar Car of the Year 2019, as well as grabbing the hotly contested prize for Best Medium SUV.”
Ian Robertson – Editor & Publisher Dieselcar & Ecocar Magazine
When one win is not enough
When you put a medium SUV up against a range of luxurious executive models, hatchbacks, superminis and more, you wouldn’t expect for it to compare.
DieselCar & EcoCar Magazine did just that and with C5 Aircross bringing home the win, it’s important to see how the introduction of top-tier safety systems, a class-leading, comfortable ride, excellent real-world economy and a style like no other can rule them all. Add to that the level of customisation available and you have your own distinct Car of the Year, tailored to you.
Helping you make your decision
We love the C5 Aircross so much, each team member sat down in front of the camera to talk briefly about the latest features and functions of the award-winning Car of the Year. If you don’t like reading, then watch our full playlist below.
