The Citroen Jumpy II Multispace, specifically the facelifted version produced from 2012 to 2015, represented Citroen’s entry into the increasingly popular European leisure activity vehicle (LAV) segment. This variant, equipped with the 2.0 HDi engine producing 128 horsepower and paired with a six-speed manual transmission, was positioned as a versatile option for families and those requiring substantial passenger and cargo space. The Jumpy II, built upon the PSA Peugeot Citroen EMP2 platform (shared with the Peugeot Expert and Fiat Scudo), aimed to blend practicality with a degree of comfort and style not always found in commercial vehicle derivatives. The “L1” designation indicates the short wheelbase version, while the “8 Seat” configuration highlights its primary function as a people carrier.

Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The heart of this Jumpy Multispace variant is the PSA Group’s DW10CD engine, specifically the AHZ variant. This 2.0-liter inline-four diesel engine utilizes a common rail direct injection system, delivering fuel at extremely high pressure for optimized combustion. The engine benefits from a turbocharger with an intercooler, enhancing power output and efficiency. The 128 horsepower peak is achieved at 4000 rpm, while the substantial 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque is available from just 2000 rpm, providing ample pulling power for a fully loaded vehicle. The six-speed manual transmission was the standard offering, providing a good balance between fuel economy and driver control. The gear ratios were tuned for practicality, prioritizing low-end torque for ease of driving in urban environments and when carrying passengers or cargo.
Driving Characteristics
The 128 hp 2.0 HDi engine, coupled with the manual transmission, offered a reasonable driving experience for the Jumpy II Multispace. Acceleration was not its strong suit, with a 0-60 mph time around 12.7 seconds, but it was adequate for everyday driving. The engine’s strong low-end torque made it easy to navigate city streets and handle inclines, even with a full load. Compared to higher-output versions of the Jumpy, this variant felt less strained during long journeys, potentially contributing to improved long-term reliability. The manual transmission allowed for greater driver engagement compared to the optional automatic, and provided better control when towing or carrying heavy loads. However, it lacked the effortless cruising ability of the more powerful engines.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The Jumpy II Multispace in this configuration typically came with a respectable level of standard equipment. This included air conditioning, power windows, central locking, and an audio system with MP3 compatibility. Safety features such as ABS, driver and passenger airbags, and electronic brakeforce distribution were also standard. Higher trim levels offered options like alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, a navigation system, and upgraded interior upholstery. The interior was designed with practicality in mind, featuring durable materials and a modular seating arrangement allowing for flexible cargo space. The eight-seat configuration meant that the rear seats could be folded or removed entirely to maximize luggage capacity.
Chassis & Braking
The Jumpy II Multispace utilized a McPherson strut front suspension and a semi-independent beam rear suspension. This setup provided a comfortable ride quality, although it wasn’t particularly sporty. The front brakes were ventilated discs, offering good stopping power, while the rear brakes were solid discs. The steering was a rack and pinion system, providing reasonable precision and feedback. The suspension was tuned to prioritize comfort and stability when carrying a full load, with stabilizer bars helping to reduce body roll during cornering.
Market Reception & Comparison
The Citroen Jumpy II Multispace 2.0 HDi 128 hp was generally well-received as a practical and versatile family vehicle. Critics praised its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and fuel efficiency. However, some noted its relatively modest performance and somewhat utilitarian interior design. Compared to the more powerful 163 hp version, this variant offered better fuel economy and potentially lower running costs, but at the expense of outright performance. It also represented a more affordable entry point into the Jumpy Multispace range, making it attractive to budget-conscious buyers.
Legacy
The DW10CD engine, in its various iterations, proved to be a robust and reliable powerplant. The 2.0 HDi 128 hp version, while not the most powerful, has a reputation for longevity, provided it receives regular maintenance. On the used car market, these Jumpy Multispace models represent a good value proposition for those seeking a spacious and practical vehicle. Common issues include wear and tear on suspension components and potential problems with the diesel particulate filter (DPF), particularly on vehicles that have primarily been used for short journeys. Overall, the Citroen Jumpy II Multispace 2.0 HDi 128 hp remains a capable and dependable vehicle, offering a blend of practicality, comfort, and affordability.
