The C5 Street has LED daytime running lights, halogen headlights and 17-inch alloy wheels and, despite being the entry-level model in the C5 range, it does not compromise on comfort or convenience. Inside, the cabin is equipped with black cloth-trimmed sports front seats, a four-way adjustable steering wheel and features such as automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, cruise control and keyless entry with push-button start.
For entertainment and connectivity, the C5 Street boasts dual 10,25-inch screens. One serves as the digital instrument cluster, while the other controls vehicle functions and infotainment. The system includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and a four-speaker sound system. Additionally, passengers can make use of USB ports in both the front and rear seats.
