Citroën will introduce a new 170hp 2.4-litre petrol engine to its C-Crosser SUV range.
Available from £19,995, the new entry-level VTR version will also be available on both the VTR+ and Exclusive trim levels with a new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for improved efficiency, fuel consumption and performance.
With 25% of SUV buyers choosing automatic transmission, Citroen says this new unit will appeal to a significant number of potential customers.
Providing the convenience of an automatic, with an infinite number of ratios, together with the driver involvement of a manual, thanks to a “Sport Mode” function, the CVT features steering wheel mounted paddles to allow the engine to rev higher and boost driver enjoyment.
The system avoids unnecessary gear shifts, provides engine braking and smooth ‘gearchanges’ whilst continuously and automatically adapting to engine load and conditions.
This convenience comes with no penalty to fuel consumption, with the CVT transmission returning a better combined fuel consumption figure.
Despite the keen pricing, the new 5-seater VTR will feature a high level of standard equipment including automatic folding of the reclining and sliding split rear seats, cruise control, light sensitive headlights and a split tailgate. In addition, an array of advanced safety features such as ABS with EBD and ESP and 6 airbags are all fitted as standard.
Top-spec Exclusive 2.4i 170hp CVT costs £25,195.
