Just put a deposit on 2019 C5 aircross 130 flair plus. Not sure what comes as standard with plus pack but it has glass sunroof, keyless entry and start , 19 inch alloys, looking forward to picking it up next week.

If it's one of the first registered Feb/Mar 2019 the standard spec included everything except leather upholstery ( £1770) and grip control (£400).
My 130 HDI Flair Plus was one of the first in the UK ordered Dec 2018 and registered Feb 2019.

Yes it is on the flair plus, there's a button on the dash to open it too.

However, with the latest Shine Plus models, this is now at extra cost as is the sun roof / dash cam, etc etc..

With the Flair plus 2019 / 2020 ( ours) models they had much more on them than than the latest versions.
Depending if you have the EAT8 auto model or manual there are other things you get too.
Even with the hybrid version, many of the 'extra's' are exactly that.... extra ! LOL

Don't think you will be disappointed, we have only had ours 5 weeks and continue to be delighted with it.

Also check to see if it has a forward foldable front passenger seat back. That was an extra on the C3 Aircross Flair but I declined it. On my C3 Aircross the centre of the rear seat back folds down. It serves two purposes, rear armrest or a ski flap. Early ones had two cupholders in them the 2020 doesn't.

Don't think the foldable front seat is an option of C5 Aircross. I believe these are specific to C3 Aircross only ?

However, all 3 rear seats in the C5 Aircross are full width and can move forward by around 150mm.]
They also have a slight recline option, all independently too.
1,2 or 3 seats can be folded down altogether or separately, so it is very flexible on loading capacity.
There are no cup holders in the rear of the seats.

Yes the C3 Aircross Flair has sliding back seats and slight recline. The split is 3 up: 2 up 1 down: 1 up 2 down or 3 down. The boot floor is two level.

I have looked into having a tow bar fitted to our C5 Aircross, not much change out of £900 is the best quote I can find.
As our cars under warranty, it's vital that a vehicle specific wiring kit / loom is used when fitting and properly coded into the ECU.
Fail to do this,and I am afraid the Citroen will not honour the remaining warranty.. ( advised by PSA salesman)

Inquiries at the main dealer and it comes out around £1400 ! ( caravan not included.. LOL)

With the complexity of Citroens wiring these days, I wouldn't settle for any compromise on the electrical side..
Just my personal view point.

As for the car, you will love it !
Extremely quiet, very comfortable, best auto gearbox I have ever used ( EAT8), loaded with gadgets ( some useful, some not so).
Not many on the roads, so certainly something different!

Enjoy, and let us have your first impressions.
