The 2002 Citroen C5 I, the first generation of the C5 model, marked a significant shift in Citroen's approach to the mid-size sedan market. Launched in 2001, the C5 I aimed to offer a blend of comfort, refinement, and advanced technology. Built upon Citroen's innovative "Hydractive 3" suspension system, the C5 I offered a unique driving experience, seamlessly adapting to road conditions and providing a remarkably smooth ride. The suspension system's hydraulics allowed for self-leveling, variable ride height, and a near-effortless driving experience. This, coupled with a spacious interior, generous passenger and cargo space, and advanced safety features, made the C5 I a compelling offering in the competitive mid-size sedan segment.

The C5 I was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from 1.8 to 3.0 liters in displacement. The model also featured various trim levels, catering to different customer preferences. Mechanically, the C5 I relied on a robust platform and shared components with other PSA Group vehicles, ensuring reliability and accessibility of parts. The model was lauded for its innovative technology, including the "Visiopark" reversing camera system, which was a pioneering feature at the time. The C5 I also offered a suite of advanced safety features, such as ABS, EBD, and multiple airbags. Despite its technologically advanced nature, the C5 I was criticized for its somewhat uninspiring styling compared to its competitors and, in some instances, faced criticism for its complex suspension system's reliability. However, the model remained a popular choice for those seeking a comfortable and unique driving experience, contributing to the long-lasting legacy of the C5 nameplate.
