- The Citroën C5 X has been awarded the prestigious "Best Large Car" prize by WWCOTY (Women's World Car Of The Year), an international jury made up exclusively of women automotive experts.
- The award recognises an unrivalled on-board well-being experience, interior space, a unique silhouette concept at the crossroads of several territories and a bold design.
The Citroën C5 X has been awarded the 'best large car' prize by WWCOTY (Women's World Car of the Year).
This jury was created in 2009 by Sandy Myhre to allow women in the automotive world to express their vision of the models coming onto the market. An all-female jury of 63 automotive journalists from 45 countries on five continents has the tough task of selecting the best cars in six categories (large car, performance car, urban car, large SUV, 4X4 and family SUV).
The winning vehicles represent excellence in their category in terms of safety, driving, comfort, technology, design, efficiency, environmental impact, and value for money. The Citroën C5 X won the "Best large car" category and will now compete against the other five winners in the final round to determine the overall winner of the WWCOTY's top award. The winner will be announced on 8 March, International Women's Day.
Introduced to the Australian market in Q4, 2022, the C5 X combines the elegance and dynamism of a sedan, the versatility and volume of a wagon with the stance and driving position of an SUV. All this while ensuring unrivalled comfort thanks to Citroën Advanced Comfort seats and Citroën Advanced Comfort Active suspension.
Kate Gillis, Managing Director Citroën Australia commented: "We are delighted to celebrate this achievement for our latest flagship Citroën offering.
"Since the C5 X's launch last year, we have seen an extremely positive reception locally. It is also with great excitement that we look forward to the arrival of the plug-in hybrid variant in the second half of the year which will further elevate Citroën's unique appeal here in Australia."
