Citroen C-Crosser

Why Charters loves the Citroen C-Crosser

The C-Crosser is Citroen's first ever SUV (off-roader or 4x4 if you prefer).  It offers plenty of space with combines seating for up to seven (with a 5+2 seating layout).  The second row seats not only slide and tilt for comfort, but fold and tumble electronically at the touch of a button.  The C-Crosser has one of the largest load areas in its class - with a handy split tailgate, folding down for a handy seat. 

With Citroen's renowned 2.2 litre HDi direct injection engine, the C-Crosser has plenty of power.  ESP and traction control ensure excellent road-handling as does the long wheelbase and wide track.  Then you've the choice of on-demand 4X4 giving you the ability to tackle tough terrain - whilst the 2-wheel drive option provides an economical family car with CO2 emissions that are among the lowest in its class.

Charters' favourite feature of the Citroen C-Crosser

The two-wheel drive (2WD) option drives only the front wheels and guarantees great grip on motorway and other dry roads.  You can choose four-wheel drive (4WD) to automatically split the torque between front and rear axles for optimum grip in tougher conditions.  Or select lock-up model which delivers 1.5 times more torque to the rear axle when you need to drive over snow, sand or mud.  There's a six-speed gearbox and specially designed Michelin tyres backing up the on and off-road performance.

What the media say
Motors.co.uk says: "The C-Crosser is big and high as you'd expect but it threads tidily through tight spaces thanks to quick, light steering. It uses its cabin space well and there's a handy tailgate flap that drops for you to sit on, or to make loading less of a puff."
