The 2012 facelift of the Citroen Jumpy II brought with it revised styling, improved interior features, and continued refinement of the already capable 2.0 HDi diesel engine. Positioned as a mid-range offering within the Jumpy lineup, the 163 horsepower version with a manual transmission struck a balance between affordability and performance. It catered to businesses and individuals needing a versatile van for carrying goods or passengers, without the higher cost of the more powerful engine options. The Jumpy II, built on the PSA Peugeot Citroen 1HX0 platform (shared with the Peugeot Expert and Fiat Scudo), was designed to be a practical and reliable workhorse, offering a compelling alternative to larger, more expensive vans.
Powertrain & Engine Architecture
At the heart of the Jumpy II 2.0 HDi 163 is the DW10CTED4 engine, a four-cylinder diesel utilizing common rail direct injection. This engine, a product of PSA’s extensive diesel development program, is known for its durability and relatively good fuel economy. The ‘RHH’ engine code specifically denotes this power output variant. The engine features a turbocharger with an intercooler, boosting power and torque. The common rail system, operating at very high pressures, allows for precise fuel metering and optimized combustion. The 163 hp version benefits from a slightly more aggressive fuel map compared to lower-powered variants. The six-speed manual transmission, a standard feature, provides a good spread of gears for both urban driving and highway cruising. The gear ratios are tuned to maximize fuel efficiency while still providing adequate acceleration.
Driving Characteristics
The Jumpy II 2.0 HDi 163, while not a performance vehicle, offers a respectable driving experience. The 340 Nm (250.77 lb.-ft.) of torque available from 2000 rpm provides ample pulling power, making it capable of carrying heavy loads without feeling strained. Acceleration is adequate for most situations, though it won’t be particularly quick. The six-speed manual transmission allows the driver to keep the engine in its optimal power band. Compared to the lower-powered 90 or 120 hp versions, the 163 hp model feels significantly more responsive, especially when fully loaded. It also offers a more relaxed driving experience on the highway, with less need to downshift for overtaking. Compared to the higher-output 165 hp engine, the difference in performance is subtle, but the 163 hp version generally offers slightly better fuel economy.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The Jumpy II 2.0 HDi 163 L2H1 typically came with a fairly basic level of equipment, reflecting its commercial vehicle origins. Standard features generally included power steering, a driver’s airbag, ABS brakes, and a basic audio system. The interior was functional and durable, with hard-wearing plastics and cloth upholstery. Higher trim levels, available as options, could add features such as air conditioning, electric windows, a passenger airbag, and upgraded audio systems. The L2H1 configuration offered a generous cargo area, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Optional extras included parking sensors, a rear camera, and various storage solutions for the cabin.
Chassis & Braking
The Jumpy II utilizes a McPherson strut front suspension with a coil spring and anti-roll bar, providing a comfortable ride and good handling. The rear suspension employs a semi-dependent beam with a stabilizer bar, offering a good balance between load-carrying capacity and stability. The braking system consists of ventilated discs at the front and solid discs at the rear, providing adequate stopping power for the vehicle’s weight. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is standard, enhancing safety in emergency braking situations. The steering is a rack and pinion system, offering precise and responsive control.
Market Reception & Comparison
The Citroen Jumpy II 2.0 HDi 163 was generally well-received by critics and customers alike. It was praised for its practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability. Compared to its competitors, such as the Volkswagen Transporter and Ford Transit, the Jumpy II offered a competitive price point and a spacious interior. The 163 hp engine was considered a good compromise between performance and economy, making it a popular choice for businesses and individuals. Fuel economy figures of around 36.8 US mpg (combined) were competitive for its class. Reliability was generally good, although some owners reported issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF) system, a common problem with modern diesel engines.
Legacy
The Citroen Jumpy II 2.0 HDi 163 remains a relatively common sight on European roads today. The DW10CTED4 engine is known for its durability, and many examples have covered high mileages without major issues. The Jumpy II’s simple construction and readily available parts make it relatively easy and affordable to maintain. On the used car market, these vans represent good value for money, offering a practical and reliable solution for those needing a versatile workhorse. However, potential buyers should be aware of the potential for DPF issues and ensure that the vehicle has been properly maintained.
