01 -ENERGETIC DESIGN WITH
SHARP GRAPHICS
Aesthetically,
the Citroën SpaceTourer 4X4 Ë Concept introduces a
subtle approach to
colours and materials inside and out, lending it a sharp
graphic
presence and an energetic look.
Combining the best
features of vans and SUVs, the design above all
emphasises the concept
car's all-terrain abilities. The SpaceTourer 4X4 Ë
Concept is equipped
with special front and rear protective skid plates and
roof bars with a
satin aluminium finish. Recognizable with its "4X4" logo
under the door
mirrors and on the tailgate, it also features tyres with
snow chains.
While
its flowing and unaggressive body styling initially
evokes vitality and
balance, the SpaceTourer 4X4 Ë Concept emphasises the
model's original
styling with original body paint. To visually boost its
personality,
the SpaceTourer 4X4 Ë Concept is cloaked in a special
Technical White
colour on the front and tailgate. The profile and the
bonnet are
adorned with a hip camouflage design in Technical Grey
hues and
enhanced with a red decal. Touches of the same red
colour punctuate the
wheels, equipped with 19-inch rims in dark chrome.
These
styling features strengthen the character of the robust
and elegant
van, which is available in several body sizes (XS, M and
XL) to meet
the needs of families and professionals alike. The
SpaceTourer 4X4 Ë
Concept is being presented in the compact and dynamic XS
version
designed for top-level functionality and versatility in
use. With its
short wheelbase, the XS model stands as a first in its
segment with a
body length of just 4.60 m and the advantage of a low
body height of
1.90 m. Despite its raised body, the 4WD version by
Dangel remains
under 2 m high, ensuring access to most car parks when
returning from
far-flung expeditions.
The "Ë" signature inseparable
from the name and history of the Brand also forms a key
graphic detail
on the SpaceTourer 4X4 Ë Concept. With a minimalist
design in Metallic
Grey, it is set on the dark-tinted rear quarterlight. It
also
emphasises the large glazed surfaces at the sides,
suggesting a
generous cabin bathed in natural light.
The
SpaceTourer 4X4 Ë Concept's sliding side doors open on
to an
impressively spacious interior with a warm design scheme
in which each
component is handsomely appointed. Highlighted by a
broad glass roof
with its two separately coverable sections, the
personalisation work
inside is most evident in the dashboard and upholstery.
The blue, white
and red colour scheme pays a nod to the graphical world
inspired by the
"Ë" capsule collection. Taking the form of cloth strips
and piping, the
colours subtly celebrate French heritage and forge a new
aesthetic.
Fully
in harmony with the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme
for the
well-being of body and mind, the seats on the
SpaceTourer 4X4 Ë Concept
are remarkably comfortable and together form an original
interior
layout. Able to house up to nine people, the XS
version here
takes on a 2+2 configuration with two sliding individual
rear seats
fitted with armrests.
With an uncompromising
combination of comfort, practicality and aesthetics, the
concept car
has a unique interior look and a top-quality two-tone
treatment. The
seats are upholstered in soft and warm materials. White
leather graces
all the upper seat backs and headrests. On the lower
two-thirds of each
seat, mottled grey alcantara leather creates a stunning
visual contrast.
In
the same "Feel Good" spirit, and echoing the grey felt
of the "Ë" iPad
cover available in the collection, the dashboard in
front of the
passenger is decorated in a Mottled Grey,
soft-to-the-touch fabric.
Harmoniously upholstered, the higher section is home to
an embossed Ë
logo, recalling the concept car's kinship with the
capsule collection,
and two straps in white leather. First seen on the C4
Cactus, these
last are inspired by the worlds of travel and leather
goods. As with
the seatbelts, the contours of the straps are composed
of the fine red
and blue detailing specific to the "Ë" collection.
Lastly,
to underscore the elegance and spaciousness of the
cabin, an
aluminium-coloured strip – a reference to the Ë jacket
and Ë parka and
their gloss grey high-tech material – features across
the entire width
of lower part of the dashboard.
