The Citroën C-Crosser, introduced as part of a collaboration with Mitsubishi, sharing its platform with the Mitsubishi Outlander and Peugeot 4007, is generally considered a reliable family SUV. However, it has encountered some issues, as reported by owners.

Common problems include issues with the electronic handbrake, which can sometimes fail to engage or disengage properly, and concerns with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in diesel models, particularly if the vehicle is not regularly driven on longer journeys to allow for automatic regeneration. Additionally, some owners have reported wear and tear on suspension components and occasional issues with the turbocharger system in diesel engines.

Despite these potential problems, the C-Crosser is praised for its practicality, spacious interior, and 4WD capabilities, making it a versatile choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Regular maintenance, especially adhering to diesel engine care, can help mitigate many of these issues, maintaining the C-Crosser as a reliable option in the used SUV market.
