Its solid design, with fluid lines, without aggressiveness, gives it a presence full of confidence. The SpaceTourer’s style is both energetic and reassuring, its high front end allows it to dominate the road and gives it all its character.
In line with the times and symbolising group freedom of movement, it benefits from Citroen’s expertise in terms of space, practicality and travelling comfort. Based on the EMP2 modular platform, it has an efficient architecture suitable for all uses, offering more on-board space, boot volume and manoeuvrability. Available in a choice of 3 lengths (XS: 4.60 m – M: 4.95 m – XL: 5.30 m), including the XS version which is new to the market, it is the ideal everyday companion for country or town driving. With its height of 1.90 m, it can access car parks easily. Highly functional, it features hands-free sliding side doors, an opening rear window and plenty of storage space.

A modern and versatile compact MPV, SpaceTourer brings together the expectations of several target customers with a common need: freedom of movement and transport of people.

e-SpaceTourer – 100% electric is fully in line with Citroen’s “Inspired by You All” electrification strategy, which will see the launch in 2020 of six electrified models, accessible to as many people as possible in a range tailored to each segment.
SPACETOURER QUALITIES SUPERCHARGED
Citroen has designed an e-SpaceTourer that makes life easier. It offers 2 levels of battery range, which makes it unique in the segment and enables it to best meet expected mobility needs. It’s easy to recharge – whether from a household socket at home or in the workplace, Wallbox rapid charging or super-fast at a public terminal.
The connected services are useful for the driver to manage its journeys better. Finally, it is easy and pleasant to drive, ultra-comfortable, without any compromise compared to the conventional engine version.
Built on Groupe PSA’s EMP2 multi-energy platform, e-SpaceTourer – 100% electric is offered with two battery powers giving two levels of operating range, allowing every customer to select the one that best suits their activity in terms of their usage and budget.
– 230 km (143 km) on the WLTP cycle with a 50 kWh battery, consisting of 18 modules (available on XS, M and XL body shapes.)
– 330 km (187 miles) on the WLTP cycle with a 75 kWh battery, consisting of 27 modules (available on M and XL body shapes.).
BEST IN CLASS – With its two range options, e-SpaceTourer is the best in its segment and perfectly meets the expectations of the market.
New e-SpaceTourer is fitted with a lithium-ion battery, the most mature technology on the market. The EMP2 platform allows the battery to be fitted under the floor, thus preserving the SpaceTourer’s spaciousness and practicality. The battery stores and supplies the energy required for operation of the electric motor, heating and air-conditioning. Its charge level is shown by a gauge and a reserve warning light on the instrument unit.
The traction battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km for 70% of its charging capacity (with a capacity certificate at each overhaul).
DRIVING
The electric motor drives the vehicle according to the drive-mode selected and driving conditions. It provides a smooth and pleasant drive, without the need to change gears, with immediately available torque, and of course without CO2 emissions.
– Its maximum power is 100 kW (136 hp)/maximum torque 260 Nm;
– Maximum speed 130 km/h (80 mph) in all drive modes (Eco, Normal, Power);
– 3-mode selector
– Normal – 80 kW/210 Nm: allows the best compromise between range and dynamic performance
– Eco – 60 kW/190 Nm: optimises energy consumption by reducing heating and air-conditioning output without disabling them and by limiting motor torque and power
– Power – 100 kW/260 Nm provides performance with the maximum number of persons en board.
The engine recovers energy under braking or during deceleration of the vehicle. Two energy recovery modes under braking are available: Standard for a feel close to that of a conventional engine vehicle, Enhanced for increased deceleration when releasing the accelerator pedal. This latter mode is accessible via the Brake button on the gearbox control.
CHARGING
There are three charging modes available. The charging port is positioned on the left-hand front wing of e-SpaceTourer, and charging is carried out in Park mode. Two types of on-board chargers are available, to better adapt to customer use and recharging solutions: a 7.4 kW single-phase charger as standard and an optional 11 kW three-phase charger.
