CITROËN PRESENTS THE NEW CITROËN HOLIDAYS, ENHANCING TRAVEL COMFORT
Announced in summer 2023, Citroën‘s move to reinforce its position in the “Van Life” territory is now taking shape with the unveiling of Citroën Holidays at one of Europe’s largest leisure and travel trade fair: the “CMT Stuttgart 2024”.
Available for sale from spring 2024 within the Citroën network, this modern fitted van allows up to 4 people to explore in complete freedom and great comfort, thanks to a generous and modular interior. Onboard, they can sleep, prepare meals, share moments of conviviality, and wake up amidst exceptional landscapes.
Equipped with last generation driving assistance technologies that promote well-being, compact and easy to handle, Citroën Holidays is a van with a strong design, practical for everyday use while offering great freedom to discover the world with complete peace of mind.
“Home Sweet Home” on wheels
The “Van Life” has become a true societal phenomenon, allowing everyone to experience travel differently. Thanks to this furnished vehicle, the customer enjoys great freedom through a “mobile home,” enabling a pleasant night’s stay and waking up in nature’s heart. It also promotes a focus on more responsible tourism, centred on regions, and budget control.
In order to meet this market expectation, Citroën, which has great know-how in terms of spacious, functional models, focused on conviviality and well-being, has partnered with a leading company in the conversion market, Bravia Mobil, to market Citroën Holidays.
Derived from the SpaceTourer, this furnished van remains faithful to Citroën’s philosophy of promoting freedom of movement, sharing, and well-being on board. For greater convenience, Citroën Holidays can be ordered directly from the Citroën network, managing all procedures until delivery to the customer.
For everyday life and great explorations
Another asset of Citroën Holidays is its great versatility. Tailored for adventure, it proves to be highly practical in everyday use. It allows you to complete daily missions and transform into an adventurer when the time comes.
Its compact length of 4,98 m offers great agility and ease of handling. This quality is enhanced by the new electric power steering of the updated SpaceTourer, replacing the electro-hydraulic system, reducing efforts and enhancing manoeuvrability. Its reasonable footprint also allows easier parking, while its height of 1,99 m enables access to most parking lots and avoids local regulation constraints.
The Top Rear Vision reverse camera and electric parking brake are also there to facilitate the customer’s life when parking. Note that this limited height is also advantageous for toll charges in many countries.
The kitchen unit and toilets are removable, making it a habitable vehicle for everyday use, capable of transporting 4 people and carrying numerous items. The two sliding side doors can be electric, facilitating access on board.
2 diesel engines are available for Citroën Holidays: the BlueHDi 145 paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the BlueHDi 180 paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. These 2 powerful and efficient engines allow the vehicle to cover long distances and explore new territories without constraints.
A Travel Experience with Style and Serenity
Inside, the new dashboard stands out with a unique design that combines elegance and even more practicality. It highlights technology, especially with a new 10-inch HD touchscreen central display on its top part, and enhances functionality with expanded and smarter storage solutions. The steering wheel is also new, with various integrated controls (phone, audio system, driving aids, etc.) and can be heated.
