Overview

What's New for 2025?

The 2025 Citroën e-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh continues as the fresh-faced version recently launched! This iteration boasts an updated front-end design, giving it a more modern look. Inside, the dashboard got a serious upgrade with a new 10-inch high-definition touchscreen infotainment system. These changes, introduced for the 2024 model year, keep this electric shuttle feeling contemporary and tech-forward for families and businesses needing a versatile electric van. Expect the latest software and connectivity features to carry over seamlessly.

Design & Exterior

The e-SpaceTourer XL is unashamedly a van, but with a touch of French flair! Its boxy shape maximizes interior room, stretching out to a considerable 210 inches in length, 75.6 inches in width, and standing 74.4 inches tall. The XL trim emphasizes this space. Practicality rules with wide-opening sliding side doors for easy access to the rear rows. The updated front grille and lighting signatures give it a surprisingly smart look on the road, making it more than just a utility box on wheels.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the e-SpaceTourer XL and it's all about space, space, space! With seating for up to nine, it’s a proper party bus. Cargo room is immense: a generous 34.9 cubic feet behind all seats, expanding to a cavernous 160.8 cubic feet with seats folded – though there's no frunk. The recently revamped dashboard features a crisp 10-inch touchscreen, likely running the latest Stellantis infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Material quality is geared towards durability, perfect for withstanding family adventures or commercial duties.

Performance & Driving Experience

Under the hood (well, floor actually!), the e-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh packs a 100 kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, sending 162 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels. Don't expect Tesla-style ludicrous speed; 0-60 mph takes a leisurely 12.8 seconds, topping out at 81 mph. It can even tow up to 2204 lbs! But that's not the point for this smooth, quiet urban cruiser, prioritizing passenger comfort over sporty handling. Regenerative braking helps claw back energy, making city driving even more efficient.

Range, Battery & Charging

The e-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh features a 46.3 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range of around 117 miles – enough for daily duties and school runs. Its efficiency is rated at 2.53 mi/kWh. For charging, it supports up to 11 kW on AC, meaning an overnight top-up is easy. When you're out and about, it can guzzle electrons at up to 101 kW from a DC fast charger. While this Euro-spec van uses a CCS Type 2 port, a US version would likely sport CCS Type 1 or NACS.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While the e-SpaceTourer XL isn't rated by NHTSA due to its EU-market focus, and Euro NCAP ratings for this specific version are not currently listed, expect a suite of modern safety tech. A US-spec model would likely include essentials like automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and driver attention warning. Features such as blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control would probably be available, perhaps as standard on higher trims or in optional packages, ensuring peace of mind for those hauling precious cargo.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

If the Citroën e-SpaceTourer XL made its way to the US, warranty coverage would likely mirror other Stellantis EV offerings. Typically, this might mean a basic vehicle warranty around 3 years/36,000 miles, with the crucial battery warranty often extending to 8 years/100,000 miles, guaranteeing against excessive degradation. Powertrain coverage would be similar. One of the big perks of EVs is reduced maintenance – no oil changes here! Just tires, brakes, and wiper fluid, keeping running costs potentially lower than its gassy counterparts.
