The all new astonishing Citroën C-Crosser
Citroën astonished everyone by introduction a commercial version of its Citroen C-Crosser 4×4 at the 2008 British Motor Show. C-Crosser is Citroën’s take on the Mitsubishi Outlander and Peugeot also markets it as the 8007, although there is no LCV model. The change is undertaken locally and it has to be said that it’s to a very good standard and features a full height bulkhead, with a perspex window.
muscle comes from a 2.2-litre common rail HDi turbodiesel and there’s a maximum of 156hp on tap at 4,000rpm. top torque of 380Nm is offered at a reasonably low 2,000rpm. A six- speed manual gearbox comes as standard.
Just like on the Outlander the 4 -wheel drive system is part-time and in two-wheel drive mode it’s the front wheels doing the work. Switch to all-wheel drive mode using the powered turn knob and the back wheels are attached with torque automatically switched to the wheels with the most grip. Edit this text ‘Lock-up’ and 1.5 times more power goes to the rear .
The load area offers 2.3m3 of space and features 6 recessed load tie-down points. Gross payload is 743kg and the floor is fully carpeted; smart , but not very practical. Access to the load section is excellent thanks to the two rear side doors and an lopsidedly split back tailgate. The smaller bottom section drops down to aid the loading of heavy items. All the back windows are black-out.
Specification is high with ABS and ESP (plus traction control) installed as standard. The cab offers driver, passenger, lateral and curtain airbags, air conditioning, powered windows and mirrors and cruise control among the goodies. The higher VTR+ trim adds alloy wheels, front fog lights, leather trim and chrome roof bars
