Design, Practicality and Boot Space
The new Citroen e-SpaceTourer showcases a sleek and modern design, with its signature airbumps on the front fenders, a bold grille, and LED headlights that form a continuous design element across the front fascia. The e-SpaceTourer's side profile is characterized by its sculpted bonnet, a rising beltline, and an aerodynamic rear end.
The new Citroen e-SpaceTourer offers generous passenger space, with up to nine seats available depending on the chosen configuration. The seats are well-padded and supportive, ensuring comfort for all occupants, even on long journeys. The second-row seats can be easily slid, reclined, or folded to accommodate cargo or additional passengers.
The new Citroen e-SpaceTourer boasts a generous boot space, with 700 litres available when all seats are in place. This can be increased to 2,126 litres by folding the second-row seats and up to 2,932 litres by folding all three rows of seats. The boot floor is flat and low, making it easy to load and unload cargo.
Interior and Trims
The new Citroen e-SpaceTourer's interior exudes a sense of spaciousness and comfort, with a high level of refinement and attention to detail. The dashboard features a soft, two-tone colour scheme, while a large 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system dominates the instrument panel. The centre console is home to a host of practical features, including a large storage compartment, a wireless smartphone charger, and a rotary gear selector.
The seats are upholstered in a variety of materials, including premium cloth and leather, and offer ample legroom and headroom for all occupants. The seats are also well-shaped and supportive, ensuring comfort even on long journeys. The second-row seats can be slid and reclined individually, while the third-row seats can be folded flat to maximize cargo space.
Three trim levels are available: Business Edition, Business and Business Lounge.
The Business Edition includes all the essential features expected in a contemporary vehicle. Standard offerings comprise air conditioning, a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, and 16-inch steel wheels.
For the e-Spacetourer Business model, you can enjoy air conditioning, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, tinted glass, and black interior trim. The exterior enhancements include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic lights and wipers, cruise control, and a driver attention alert system.
The highest-tier e-Spacetourer comes equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system featuring a reversing camera, a hi-fi system, a massage function on the front seats, a 3.5-inch driver's display, and dual-zone climate control. Additional amenities encompass body-coloured exterior trim pieces, 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, and keyless entry and go.
Power and Performance
The Citroen e-SpaceTourer is powered by a 100kW electric motor that produces 134bhp and 260Nm of torque. This powertrain provides a smooth, quiet, and emissions-free driving experience. The 50kWh battery provides an impressive range of up to 143 miles on a single charge, making it ideal for urban commutes and family outings.
The Citroen e-SpaceTourer accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 12.1 seconds, which is reasonable for an MPV of its size. The electric motor provides instant torque, so there's no need to wait for the engine to rev up. This makes the e-SpaceTourer agile and responsive, especially in urban traffic. The Citroen e-SpaceTourer has a top speed of 81 mph, which is sufficient for most driving situations. However, it's not as fast as some other electric vehicles on the market.
As an electric vehicle, the Citroen e-SpaceTourer produces zero emissions, making it a cleaner option than gasoline-powered cars. This is especially important for those who live in urban areas with air quality problems.
The Citroen e-SpaceTourer's driving range of 143 miles is impressive for an MPV of its size. This means that you can comfortably commute to work and back without having to worry about running out of power. However, the range will decrease if you're driving in cold weather or if you're using the air conditioning.
Overall, the Citroen e-SpaceTourer is a practical and stylish electric MPV that offers a comfortable and convenient driving experience. It provides plenty of passenger and cargo space, and its electric drivetrain is smooth, quiet, and emissions-free, making it a great leasing option.
