On Sunday, April 26, 2026, AutoWeek published a feature highlighting a 1957 Citroën ID19 owned by the inventor of the speed camera, describing the vehicle as offering “extreme comfort on the road.” The article, presented as part of the outlet’s “In het Wild” series, includes photographs submitted by reader Pascal van Timmeren and focuses on the driving experience of this classic French automobile.
The piece notes that even as the ID19 is praised for its ride quality, the broader context of Citroën’s current lineup shows mixed results in modern comparisons. Specifically, the article references an evaluation stating that the Citroën ë‑C5 Aircross, while deemed a decent electric vehicle, is outperformed by the Toyota bZ4X and Kia EV5 in the same segment, with Toyota and Kia noted as providing “just a bit more convincing” performance in the electric crossover/SUV category.
Details regarding specific scoring criteria in the comparison were not included in the headline or summary text, but the conclusion emphasizes that the ë‑C5 Aircross falls short of being the strongest option among the three models reviewed. The article also contains links to additional classic Citroën reviews and related content for readers interested in the brand’s history.
