Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:- The Citroen e-SpaceTourer is a van turned people carrier, with an electric powertrain.
- It has a WLTP range of 136 miles.
- The price starts at around £32,000.
- The van is based on the same EMP2 platform as the Citroen C5 Aircross SUV, so it has car-like driving characteristics.
- It has sliding doors on both sides.
- It has nine seats in here.
- There are 2 trims: Business and Flair.
- It has 3 sets of ISOFIX fittings across the middle row.
- All seats have inertia seatbelts.
- There is the option for a three-person bench up front.
- Flair trim is not available with the nine-seat layout.
- The eight-seat Flair trim has five ISOFIX fittings.
- The boot space is 655 liters with the third row seats in place.
- The third and second row seats can be removed to make it a proper van.
- The interior is not luxurious.
- At £32,000 the Business edition is a reasonable value, the cabin feels durable.
- The touch screen is adequate and has the tech features expected.
- The cup holders are too small for a travel mug.
- The Business edition does not come with a reversing camera.
- The 50kWh battery can rapid charge at 100kW, for an 80% charge in 30 mins.
- With a 7kW home charger, a full charge is achieved in under 8 hours.
- It picks up speed fine from 0 to 60 in around 13 seconds.
- The real-world range can be over 136 miles in the summer.
- The range can drop quickly on the motorway and is approximately 70-80 miles on a full charge in the winter.
- The ride quality is very choppy, but can be remedied with weight.
- The steering is slow with too much rotation for tight maneuvering.
- It stands at 1.9 m tall so it might make multi-story car parks tricky.
- Regenerative braking that’s similar to engine braking in a diesel or petrol car, it doesn't include one-pedal drive.
- Overall it is a utilitarian vehicle, and the basic Business version is good value for money.
- It is the best electric MPV on the market.
