The Citroën SpaceTourer and SpaceTourer HYPHEN are scheduled to debut at the next Geneva Motor Show.
Taking advantage of its experience and expertise in the development of multipurpose and spacious vehicles, Citroën will launch a new model called the Citroën SpaceTourer. The French brand bets on a modern, versatile and efficient van, designed not only for professionals but also for trips with family or friends.
The SpaceTourer's design is marked by fluid lines, on the other hand, the taller front allows it to dominate the road and gives it a more robust character. Developed as a variant of the EMP2 modular platform, the Citroën SpaceTourer aims, through a more efficient architecture and at the service of habitability, to provide more space on board and a greater volume of cargo.

Inside, the SpaceTourer emphasizes comfort and well-being, with a high driving position, sliding seats that can be swiveled according to use, high acoustic treatment and a glass roof . In addition to available technology, such as the CITROËN Connect Nav head-up display and 3D navigation system, the SpaceTourer is equipped with a set of safety systems – Driver Fatigue Surveillance, Collision Risk Alert, Angle Surveillance System Dead, among others – which allowed him to reach the maximum rating of 5 stars in the EuroNCAP tests.
As for engines, Citroën offers 5 diesel options from the BlueHDi family, between 95hp and 180hp. The 115hp S&S CVM6 variant announces consumption of 5.1l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 133 g/km, both “best in class”.

But that's not all: on the sidelines of the presentation of its latest minivan, Citroën will also unveil a new concept, which results from a partnership with the French electro-pop group Hyphen Hyphen.
In addition to all the features that make the SpaceTourer a versatile and modern model, the SpaceTourer HYPHEN is a true amplifier of the production version, adopting a more colorful and adventurous look. The wider front end, the wheel arch trims and the sill guards were inspired by the Aircross concept, introduced last year.
The interior of the cabin has been redesigned and made more informal, with orange and green blending in a gradation of vibrant, youthful colours, while the leather-covered seats are also more ergonomic. To highlight the off-road characteristics of the production version, each tire has 5 elastomer belts for greater grip. The SpaceTourer HYPHEN uses a four-wheel transmission developed by Automobiles Dangel.
For Arnaud Belloni, Marketing and Communication Director for the French brand, this “is a way for Citroën to transmit its values of optimism, sharing and creativity”. Both models are scheduled for presentation on the 1st of March at the Geneva Motor Show.
