Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The heart of this Jumpy Multispace variant is the 2.0 HDi (RHH DW10CTED4) diesel engine. This engine is a four-cylinder, inline configuration, displacing 1997cc. It utilizes a common rail direct injection system, delivering fuel at extremely high pressure for optimized combustion. A turbocharger with an intercooler is employed to boost power output and improve efficiency. The engine produces 163 horsepower at 3750 rpm and a substantial 340 Nm (250.77 lb.-ft.) of torque at 2000 rpm. This torque figure is particularly important for a vehicle of this size and intended use, providing ample pulling power for carrying passengers and cargo. The engine also incorporates a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to meet Euro 5 emission standards. The transmission is a 6-speed manual gearbox, chosen for its efficiency and driver engagement.
Driving Characteristics
The 163 hp 2.0 HDi engine, paired with the 6-speed manual transmission, provides a reasonable level of performance for the Jumpy Multispace L2. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes around 12 seconds. While not particularly sporty, the engine delivers sufficient power for everyday driving, including highway cruising and overtaking. The torque-rich nature of the diesel engine means that strong acceleration is available from relatively low engine speeds. Compared to lower-powered versions of the Jumpy, such as those with the 90 or 120 hp engines, this variant offers a noticeably more relaxed driving experience, especially when fully loaded. The manual transmission allows for greater driver control compared to the available automatic options, and contributes to better fuel economy.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The Jumpy II Multispace, in its facelifted form, offered a good level of standard equipment. Typically, this included air conditioning, electric front windows, a CD/radio player, and ABS brakes. The L2 variant, being a longer wheelbase model, prioritized interior space. Interior upholstery was generally cloth, with options for upgraded materials. Higher trim levels could add features like rear parking sensors, alloy wheels, and a more sophisticated infotainment system. The Multispace trim level itself focused on passenger comfort, with features like individual rear seats and a flexible seating arrangement.
Chassis & Braking
The Jumpy II Multispace utilizes a McPherson strut independent suspension setup at the front, providing a comfortable ride and good handling characteristics. The rear suspension employs a semi-dependent beam with a stabilizer bar, balancing ride comfort with stability. Braking is handled by ventilated discs at the front and solid discs at the rear. The steering is rack and pinion, offering precise control. The vehicle’s weight (approximately 1948 kg / 4294.6 lbs) is relatively high, but the braking system is adequate for safe stopping performance.
Market Reception & Comparison
The Citroen Jumpy II Multispace 2.0 HDi 163 L2 was generally well-received by critics as a practical and versatile vehicle. It was praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and fuel efficiency. Compared to the lower-powered versions, the 163 hp engine was seen as a worthwhile upgrade for those who frequently carry passengers or cargo, or who regularly drive on highways. Fuel economy figures of around 6.6 l/100 km (35.6 US mpg) were considered competitive for its class. Reliability was generally good, although, like all diesel vehicles, the DPF could require maintenance over time.
Legacy
The Citroen Jumpy II Multispace, and specifically this 2.0 HDi 163 L2 variant, remains a popular choice in the used car market. The DW10CTED4 engine is known for its durability, provided it has been properly maintained. The vehicle’s practicality and spaciousness continue to appeal to families and businesses. While newer models offer more advanced technology and features, the Jumpy II Multispace represents a solid and reliable option for those seeking a versatile and affordable passenger van.
