New Citroen C-Crosser Commercial

Citroen will launch the C-Crosser Commercial at the British Motor Show next week - a commeical derivative of the C-Crosser SUV priced from £16,995+VAT+ delivery.

The C-Crosser Commercial is powered by a 156bhp 2.2 HDi engine through a six-speed manual transmission, can accelerate from 0-62mph in 9.9 seconds and has a maximum speed of 124mph, while emitting 191g/km CO2. Citroën’s self-regenerating Diesel Particulate Filter System (DPFS) reduces to virtually immeasurable levels, according to Citroen.

The C-Crosser Commercial has a selectable control transmission to enable front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive or transmission lock-up mode. In four wheel drive mode, engine torque is automatically split between the front and rear axles; 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 has 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.

Thanks to two rear side doors and a clever two-piece rear tailgate, the C-Crosser Commercial provides three-way load accessibility, while inside there is a completely flat, 1,720mm long load floor.

For heavier/larger loads or to provide a convenient platform at the rear of the vehicle, the top half of the rear bumper section, which forms the lower part of the rear aperture, can be dropped to provide an even larger rear door opening.

A full height bulkhead with a window separates the driving compartment from the load area. For load security, the C-Crosser Commercial has completely opaque rear side window and tailgate window glazing.

Both the VTR and VTR+ C-Crosser Commercial models are fitted as standard with automatic air conditioning with pollen filter, electric windows, RDS stereo radio/MP3 compatible CD player, and high frequency remote control central locking with deadlocks and anti-theft alarm.

Other security measures include automatic door and tailgate locking when the vehicle is in motion. In addition, both models offer an ample range of in-cab lidded and open storage compartments including an air-conditioned glove box, cup holders, sunglasses holders and an adjustable front armrest.

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.

Safety in the C-Crosser Commercial VTR and VTR+ models comprises ABS and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), electronic stability programme (ESP) with traction control, driver and passenger airbags, lateral airbags and front curtain airbags.

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.
