Features to simplify life on board
The
new Jumper was designed to provide superlative
acoustic comfort and
thus to limit vibration inside the cabin. To this
end, noise emissions
have been considerably reduced at source.
The dashboard of the new Jumper is compact and
practical, in terms of its ergonomics and stowage.
It maintains the dash-mounted gearshift, a layout
that is ideal in
terms of both ergonomics and space management. The
new Jumper is
equipped as standard with an adjustable dashboard
desktop, together
with a document clip. This enables the driver to
keep all forms and
other professional documents within easy reach.
The Jumper is fitted as standard with a 12V
connector in the centre of
the dashboard. ideally placed to hook up a laptop or
telephone.
The car is also equipped with a cigar lighter and
removable ashtray,
placed in the centre of the dashboard where they are
accessible to both
the driver and passengers.
With up to ten stowage compartments available, the
new Jumper meets the
needs of customers who like things to be well
organised. The many
stowage compartments are cleverly positioned. They
include several
cubbies, a lockable glovebox with room for a laptop,
and compartments
on the central console (open, closed or cooled
depending on options).
The lower part of the doors features a generous
stowage bin, and two other compartments are
accessible under the seats.
The Jumper is also available with a vast overhead
optional stowage
compartment boasting a capacity of 22 litres. This
large stowage area
is invisible from the outside of the vehicle.
Facing the driver, the new Jumper's electronic
instrument cluster
provides full and detailed information. The
array of modern dials
provide a range of data, including the tachometer,
rev counter and fuel
gauge functions. The instrument cluster comes in two
definitions –
basic or comfort – depending on the vehicle trim
level.
For a relaxed journey, the multifunction screen
displays the time and the overspeed warning, among
other functions.
Setting high standards of vigilance for Jumper
users, the instrument
cluster also features a large number of warning
lights. These lights
cover functions including deactivation of the
passenger airbag,
non-fastened seatbelts and a low battery charge.
With its many features and functions, the Jumper is
a reliable solution for active professionals.
Further improvements to the functional
convenience of commercial vehicles
An adaptable loading area
The
new Jumper range comprises a wide variety of body
styles. It thus
provides greater flexibility for professionals,
bringing real
improvements compared with former generations of
commercial vehicles.
These major upgrades include:
- an
increase in gross vehicle weight, which has now
been extended to 4
tonnes. To achieve this result, the rear axle of
the new Jumper has
been specially designed to support the increased
load. This higher
gross vehicle weight gives the new Jumper access
to new customers, who
will be able to select the configuration that is
exactly right for
their needs.
- useful volume increased to 17 m3
- significant accessibility
The height of the loading sill on the new Jumper
varies between 53 cm and 56 cm depending on the
versions.
It can be lowered by a further 7 cm using the new
pneumatic
self-levelling rear suspension (optional on all
models). This function,
new on this segment, positions the new Jumper as
the standard in its
market.
This suspension also maintains the vehicle at a
constant height,
regardless of load conditions, and significantly
improves comfort in
versions designed to carry people.
This characteristic, which will be very much
appreciated by
professionals, is particularly important on the
heavy duty versions
since, in this segment, the new Jumper will be
squaring up to vehicles
available exclusively with rear-wheel drive,
with higher load sills.
The accessibility of the loading
compartment, much praised by users of the present
Jumper, has been
maintained. The new Jumper is even more practical
with:
- new handles enabling safer and easier handling
of the doors;
- a rear bumper with a broader non-slip sill;
- rear
swing doors with four locking points, of which one
central. The two
swing doors open to 96 degrees, providing maximum
accessibility to the
loading area. At the same time, a cleverly
designed foldaway door strap
makes it possible to open the door to 180 degrees.
For specific applications, the doors can be opened
to 270 degrees (optional).
Efficient
lighting, based on several overhead lights, makes it
possible to move
around the loading area. An optional 12V connector
is provided on the
rear right-hand pillar, together with a rechargeable
mobile lamp.
The automotive qualities of the new Jumper
High-performance engines
Each
of the engines available with the new Jumper is
designed to stand up to
the most demanding operating conditions and to
provide all the power
required by the user, regardless of driving and load
conditions. The
innovative technologies featured on these engines
set high standards in
driveability and performance, while also bringing
savings in terms of
fuel consumption and maintenance.
Three diesel engines are now available:
- the
entry-level 2.2 HDi 100 (74 kW/100 bhp DIN),
combining low fuel
consumption with comfort-in-use. It is
particularly well suited for
urban use, and is mated to a 5-speed manual
gearbox.
- a mid-range 2.2 HDi 120 (88 kW/120 bhp DIN)
engine,
striking an excellent compromise between
performance and fuel
consumption for combined usage. It is mated to a
6-speed manual
gearbox.
- the top-of-the-range 3.0 HDi 160 (115 kW/157 bhp
DIN)
for applications demanding power, torque and
strong acceleration. This
engine is mated to the 6-speed manual
gearbox.
The new Jumper's commitment to environmental
protection
For
Citroën, environmental protection and quality of
life in the city are
key issues for all the vehicles in its range. The
Jumper thus features
new-generation direct-injection common rail engines
that comply with
the Euro IV standard.
As part of this Euro IV standard, the
Jumper's HDi engines are equipped with the EOBD
(European On Board
Diagnosis) system. Installed on board the vehicle,
this system is
designed to control emissions.
It is able to detect any potential malfunctions that
could lead to the
vehicle exceeding authorised emission thresholds for
carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons, etc. The EOBD monitors a number of
functions, including
the efficiency of the catalytic converter, and any
failures when the
engine is turned on.
In this way, a special indicator on the instrument
cluster gives the
driver timely warning of any problems on the
pollution control systems.
