Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The SpaceTourer M 2.0 BlueHDi utilizes the DW10FD engine code, a 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder diesel engine. This engine is part of the PSA Group’s (Peugeot Société Anonyme) BlueHDi range, known for its focus on reducing particulate matter and NOx emissions. The engine employs a common rail direct injection system, delivering fuel at high pressure for optimized combustion. A turbocharger with an intercooler enhances power output by forcing more air into the cylinders. The 150 hp version of this engine features a single turbocharger configuration. The engine’s valvetrain consists of four valves per cylinder, contributing to efficient gas exchange. The 6-speed manual transmission was standard on this variant, offering a balance between fuel economy and driver control. The transmission’s gear ratios were tuned for relaxed cruising and adequate acceleration, prioritizing usability over outright performance.
Driving Characteristics
The 150 hp 2.0 BlueHDi SpaceTourer M provided adequate, though not exhilarating, performance. Acceleration from 0-60 mph took approximately 9.8 seconds. The engine delivered its peak torque of 370 Nm (272.9 lb-ft) at 2000 rpm, providing good pulling power for overtaking and carrying a full load of passengers and luggage. Compared to higher-output versions of the 2.0 BlueHDi (180 hp), this variant felt less responsive, particularly at higher engine speeds. The manual transmission allowed for greater driver engagement than the optional automatic, but the gear ratios were geared towards economy rather than sporty driving. The SpaceTourer’s focus was on comfort and practicality, and the driving experience reflected this, with a smooth ride and predictable handling.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The SpaceTourer M 2.0 BlueHDi (150 hp) typically came equipped with features such as air conditioning, a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and rear parking sensors. Interior upholstery was generally cloth, with options for upgraded materials. Higher trim levels offered features like navigation, a panoramic sunroof, and leather seats. Safety features included ABS, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and multiple airbags. The SpaceTourer’s modular interior allowed for flexible seating configurations, with options for up to nine passengers.
Chassis & Braking
The SpaceTourer M utilized an independent McPherson strut suspension at the front and a twist-beam axle at the rear. This setup provided a comfortable ride quality, suitable for long journeys. The front brakes were ventilated discs, while the rear brakes were solid discs. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) was standard, enhancing braking performance and stability. The steering was electric power-assisted, providing light and precise control. Stabilizer bars were fitted to both the front and rear axles to reduce body roll during cornering.
Market Reception & Comparison
The Citroen SpaceTourer M 2.0 BlueHDi (150 hp) was generally well-received by critics for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and fuel efficiency. However, some reviewers noted that the engine could feel underpowered when fully loaded or driving uphill. Compared to the 180 hp version of the same engine, the 150 hp variant offered lower running costs but compromised on performance. The SpaceTourer competed with other mid-size minivans such as the Volkswagen Multivan, Ford Tourneo Custom, and Renault Trafic SpaceClass. The SpaceTourer’s strengths lay in its practicality, versatility, and competitive pricing.
Legacy
The 2.0 BlueHDi engine, in its various iterations, has proven to be a reliable and durable powertrain. The DW10FD engine code is known for its longevity, provided it receives regular maintenance. Used examples of the SpaceTourer M 2.0 BlueHDi (150 hp) remain relatively common in the used car market, offering a practical and affordable option for families and businesses. Potential buyers should be aware of the importance of maintaining the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and ensuring regular servicing to prevent potential issues. The SpaceTourer’s modular design and spacious interior continue to make it a popular choice for those seeking a versatile and comfortable minivan.
