2007 Citroen C-Crosser SUV: Ou la la, a Mitsubishi Outlander Crossdresser...


The C-Crosser is yet another clone of Mitsubishi's 2007 Outlander SUV. Like its Peugeot counterpart, the 4007, the C-C
rosser is basically an Outlander with a new face and wheels, But in the case of the C-Crosser, Citroen designers seem to have done a better job in incorporating their family face to the Outlander body. Like the 4007, the C-Crosser will be offered with a 156Hp 2.2 diesel engine matted to a 6 speed gearbox. Sales will begin in Europe in July 2007.

Press Release: Taking its name from the four-wheel drive concept car that Citroën first displayed at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, the new C-Crosser’s elegant proportions (4.64m long, 1.81m wide and 1.73m high including roof bars) and powerfully sculpted design lines envelop sufficient interior space to seat up to seven passengers.

Engine: The C-Crosser will be available at launch with a new 156 bhp EEC (115 kW) & 380Nm of torque 2.2 l HDi diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. This clean diesel engine, fitted systematically with a particulate filter (DPFS), can also run on 30% biofuel (Diester).

Transmission: With the C-Crosser's integral transmission, drivers get to choose from three transmission settings, depending on road conditions and driving style: four-wheel drive, two-wheel drive and a lock setting recommended for low-grip conditions, all of which are selected using the control behind the gear lever.



Practicality: C-Crosser is easy to configure and reconfigure. Occupants can make these interior changes both quickly and effortlessly. The vehicle can seat up to seven passengers thanks to a third row of two seats, which can be completely folded away beneath the floor.

Row 2 slides 80 mm back and forth for increased passenger comfort or luggage space. It also features a portfolio-style electrically controlled 60:40 split/fold function using two controls located in the boot. The seats fold away to provide a completely flat floor together with a vast loading surface. Another plus: the C-Crosser's boot opens in two sections. The lower part of the tailgate provides support for 200 kg, making it easy to load bulky objects and perfect as an al fresco seat.
