All C5 Exclusive models will get as standard Citroen’s eTouch emergency and assistance system, which allows a driver to make emergency calls using the car’s in-built SIM card.

The most significant changes, however, are to the engine line-up. All of the C5’s engines have been made EuroV compliant; this has lead to the addition of a new 108bhp 1.6 HDi unit to replace the outgoing EuroIV version.
