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.
Cleverly designed down to the smallest details, it allows great autonomy in travels. Citroën Holidays is a true cosy nest that accompanies the customer according to their desires, allowing them to experience unique moments in unexpected places while offering great modularity. It enables camping in extraordinary landscapes with few constraints and a lot of comfort.
- Its retractable body-colored roof, as a standard feature, provides ample headroom. It allows standing inside and accommodates up to 4 sleeping spaces. Indeed, the second-row bench, capable of hosting 2 people, is sliding and convertible to create a sleeping space of 1.15m wide and 1.90m long. This bench is removable if the customer prefers more space on board. At the top, a bed measuring 1.20m wide and 1.95m long allows sleeping close to the stars. The cup-shaped mattress design reduces occupied space while ensuring great sleeping comfort. Those sleeping in the lower section can enjoy the opening rear window for sleeping close to nature, along with vacuum blinds on the windshield and side windows. Similarly, those in the upper part benefit from integrated blinds and a window in the bellows for managing ventilation and brightness.
- Its kitchen, including a sink and 2 gas burners, a 16-liter fridge, and a retractable table, will allow for enjoyable indoor meals for 4 people thanks to the front seats pivoting toward the living space. The two sliding side doors (optional electric) also enable cooking outside and dining outdoors on sunny days, with the retractable table that can be set up behind the kitchen. And if the sun becomes too intense, Citroën Holidays is predisposed with a lateral rail on each side, allowing integration of a rolling awning (as an accessory). Note that the kitchen unit is removable for cooking in the midst of nature.
- The interior is functional and practical. The table can be used for dining, working, playing cards, and can be stowed away to prioritize space on board when needed. Citroën Holidays also features numerous storage spaces to maintain order inside the cabin. It has a 10-litre tank for storing clean water and 10 litres for wastewater. Citroën Holidays can also offer a shower at the rear of the vehicle, coupled with a 25-liter tank. Removable toilets can also be equipped in the vehicle.
- A true cocoon, Citroën Holidays offers a programmable Webasto heating system to ensure optimal onboard temperature. A control panel manages the interior lighting ambiance. Thus, one can easily manage the ventilation and brightness of their vehicle.
- Citroën Holidays can offer an incoming 230V recharge point outside and an internal 230V socket, 2 USB-A, and USB-C ports. It also has a wireless smartphone charger, particularly convenient, located on the central console within reach of the two front passengers. It is also possible to have a solar panel on the roof of the vehicle.
- Citroën Holidays offers a predisposition for a towing ring.
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 meters 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 meters 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.
Two 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 two powerful and efficient engines allow the vehicle to cover long distances and explore new territories without constraints.
