# 🚗 Protint – Premium Detailing & Protection for Citroën C5 X
## 🇫🇷 A Special Note for Citroën C5 X Owners
The **Citroën C5 X** is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly homogenized automotive world — a French masterpiece that defies conventional categories. It is a unique blend of a grand tourer, a practical estate, and a commanding crossover, all wrapped in striking, sculptural bodywork. As Citroën's flagship, the C5 X prioritizes 'Inspirational Comfort' above all else, offering Citroën's legendary **Progressive Hydraulic Cushions®** suspension for a 'magic carpet' ride.
Built on the EMP2 V3 platform, the C5 X is available with a range of efficient powertrains including a 1.2L PureTech petrol (130 bhp), a 1.6L PureTech (180 bhp), and a 1.6L plug-in hybrid (PHEV) producing up to 225 bhp, with an electric range of up to 55 km. With a **5-star Euro NCAP safety rating**, a massive 545-litre boot, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, and a luxurious 'Advanced Comfort' cabin, it is built for discerning drivers who value individuality and serenity.
The C5 X starts at approximately **₹30 lakh** for the base trim and can go up to **₹45 lakh** for the top-spec PHEV variant. Key rivals include the Volvo V90 Cross Country, Audi A4 Allroad, and the Skoda Octavia RS.
At **Protint**, we understand that C5 X owners value:
- **Distinctive French Design** – Protecting the unique, flowing lines, the floating roof, and the sleek LED lighting signatures
- **Citroën's 'Advanced Comfort'** – Preserving the serene, sofa-like cabin environment from heat and UV damage
- **Versatile Practicality** – Ensuring the massive 545-litre boot remains pristine
- **Aerodynamic Integrity** – Maintaining the car's impressive profile (Cd 0.29) with perfectly applied, undetectable films
- **Sensor & Technology Integrity** – Zero interference with the car's ADAS and infotainment systems
> **⚠️ Important Legal Note for Indian C5 X Owners**: India has strict window tinting regulations. As per the **Supreme Court ruling in Avishek Goenka v. Union of India (2012)** and the **Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989**, aftermarket sun films are **strictly prohibited** regardless of VLT claims. Only factory-fitted tinted glass is permitted. **Front windshields must allow at least 70% light transmission** and **side windows at least 50%**. **Penalties** for non-compliance include fines and on-the-spot film removal. We strictly follow the law by recommending **removable mesh sunshades** (legal only while parked) and **factory-fitted tinted glass** (OEM option).

## 🛡️ Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Invisible Armor
