Citroën’s first ever SUV, the C-Crosser, arrives in the UK this July, introducing a new, environmentally-friendly face into the 4x4 sector.

Breaking new ground for the Company, the four wheel drive C-Crosser combines practicality and environmentally-sound engineering – to provide a spacious and comfortable car with flexible 5+2 seating and a clean, fuel efficient HDi diesel engine with particulate filter.

Equipped with a 2.2HDi diesel engine, it boasts nearly 40mpg on the combined cycle, emits as little as 191g/km and reduces particle emissions to virtually immeasurable levels thanks to its Diesel Particulate Filter System. It can also run on 30% bio-diesel without modification to the system.

Produced in conjunction with 4x4 specialist Mitsubishi and Peugeot, the C-Crosser will be no slouch either, capable of a top speed of 124mph, and getting from 0 to 62mph in a little under 10 seconds.

The C-Crosser will be offered in two trim levels – VTR+ and Exclusive - with a long list of standard features including six airbags, an alarm, automatic headlamps, sliding and reclining second row seats, ABS, ESP, cruise control and automatic air conditioning. The C-Crosser is available to order now with prices starting at £22,790 for the VTR+ and £25,490 for the Exclusive.
