Citroen C-Crosser To Be Unveiled in Geneva

 

 

11th February, 2007

2007 Citroen C-Crosser

Citroën’s bold, innovative and versatile C-Crosser is to make its World Motor Show debut at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show next month. Citroën’s first ever SUV, which is sourced from Mitsubishi, will then go on sale in Europe this (northern) summer.

With its strong styling, flexible 5+2 seating configuration, powerful yet environmentally friendly diesel engine, together with its 4-wheel drive capability, the C-Crosser will complement Citroën’s range and offer a vehicle to appeal to drivers who enjoy outdoor pursuits.

The C-Crosser’s exterior styling radiates vitality and robustness with the front of the vehicle dominated by the familiar Citroën chevrons that stretch across the multiple-ribbed bonnet to unite with the streamlined headlights. The chunky wheel arches, elegant chrome detailing and striking two-tone wheels further emphasise the C-Crosser’s design.

Citroën’s impressive, new generation 2.2HDi engine produces a massive 380 Nm of torque at just 2,000 rpm. Mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, the engine has strong credentials with its low fuel consumption, ultra-clean Diesel Particulate Filter System and ability to run on 30% bio-diesel.

To ensure an optimum blend of comfort, road holding and off-road capability, drivers have a choice of three transmission settings that can be changed depending on road conditions and driving style. Drivers can switch between two-wheel drive, electronically controlled four-wheel drive and a lock setting for low-grip conditions, all of which can be selected using a control mounted on the central console.

Occupants benefit from the versatile second and third row of seats, which feature an easy-to-use modular design allowing seating changes to be made quickly and effortlessly to provide a flat floor and vast load space. The vehicle’s generous dimensions offer comfortable passenger space, over 20 storage compartments and a large boot with a useful split-opening tailgate for easy loading.

This tailgate optimises the advantages of the flat boot space so heavy objects can simply slide in. Opening in two sections, the lower part is able to support up to 200 kg, allowing it to double up as an al fresco seat, perfect for owners who enjoy outdoor pursuits.

To further enhance passenger comfort the C-Crosser offers a selection of optional hi-tech equipment, including a useful reversing camera which assists with manoeuvring and parking in tight spaces. Located above the number plate, the camera is automatically activated once the vehicle is shifted into reverse and the image is displayed on the smart navigation screen.

Citroën’s Xavier Duchemin commented; “The C-Crosser will add a new dimension to the already diverse Citroën range and ensures that we have a vehicle to suit all our customer needs, whether it be an SUV, a compact MPV or a supermini.”
