Making a surprise UK première at the
Motor Show is the new C-Crosser Commercial - the latest addition to
Citroën’s fast growing range of light commercial vehicles. Based on the
C-Crosser 4x4 SUV, the new C-Crosser Commercial is priced from £16,995 +
VAT + delivery, has been launched to meet the requirements of businesses
needing stylish and practical load carriers for on/off highway
operation.
The C-Crosser Commercial brings to the
4x4 van market the benefit of the best engine available in this sector -
Citroën’s clean and fuel efficient 2.2 HDi engine. This advanced diesel
offers an unrivalled combination of high power (156hp) at 4,000rpm and
high torque (380Nm at 2,000rpm). With six-speed manual transmission,
the C-Crosser Commercial can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 9.9 seconds
and has a maximum speed of 124mph. All this is achieved with
exceptional fuel economy of up to 47.9mpg on the extra-urban cycle and
191g/km CO2 emissions.
The C-Crosser Commercial is only the
second light commercial vehicle range in Europe (the Citroën Dispatch
was the first) to be fitted with Citroën’s advanced, self-regenerating
Diesel Particulate Filter System (DPFS). With DPFS particulate emissions
are reduced to virtually immeasurable levels.
To provide the C-Crosser Commercial
with both on-road and off-road capability, it has a selectable control
transmission. This simple shift-on-the-fly selector enables front wheel
drive, four-wheel drive or transmission lock-up mode to be easily
selected. In four wheel drive mode, engine torque is automatically
split between the front and rear axles to provide optimum grip in all
conditions. When lock-up is selected, all four wheels are driven, but
1.5 times more torque is sent to the rear axle – which makes this
transmission mode ideal for laden running or towing in snow, sand or
mud.
The C-Crosser Commercial’s business
capability is well-founded with a payload capacity of 743kg, a maximum
towing weight of 2,410kg, a load compartment volume of 2.3m3 and a load
deck height of just 600mm.
In both the C-Crosser Commercial VTR
and VTR+ the driver benefits from a comfortable, height-adjustable seat
which, combined with a reach/rake-adjustable steering wheel means that
the ideal driving position is easily obtained. Other driver benefits
include cruise control, multi-function onboard trip computer, automatic
illumination of headlights and electrically adjustable and heated door
mirrors.
To this already high level of standard
specification, the C-Crosser Commercial VTR+, which is priced from
£18,425 + VAT + delivery, adds Itoka 16in alloy wheels, front fog
lights, leather trimmed steering wheel and gear knob, twin silver finish
roof bars and even more luxurious Black Diamond woven cloth seat trim.
