Citroen Reviews
Citroen's "Advanced Comfort" suspension is engineered specifically for Britain's broken roads, using hydraulic cushions to soak up bumps that firmer German rivals send straight into the cabin. Here's what road tests actually found.
Comfort as a Genuine Engineering Priority, Not Just a Slogan
While most manufacturers chase sharper handling, Citroen has spent years developing suspension technology aimed squarely at ride comfort instead — Progressive Hydraulic Cushions that replace conventional bump stops, designed in-house and kept exclusive to Citroen within its parent group. The effect, often described by reviewers as a "flying carpet" or "magic carpet" ride, genuinely stands out on the UK's notoriously rough road surfaces, where testers consistently note it absorbing bumps that would upset firmer-riding rivals.
It's not without genuine tradeoffs, and honest reviews say so directly: heavier models in particular have been noted struggling to fully control their weight on faster, undulating roads, even if low-speed comfort remains excellent, and some testers find the deliberately light, relaxed steering feels less reassuring at motorway speeds than more conventionally tuned rivals. The summaries below cover what several independent testers actually found behind the wheel of each model — where the comfort-first approach pays off, and where it doesn't.
