Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The Citroen SpaceTourer e 75 kWh utilizes a fully electric powertrain centered around a 75 kWh lithium-ion battery pack positioned under the vehicle floor. This placement contributes to a lower center of gravity, enhancing stability. The electric motor, designated ZK02, is a synchronous motor delivering 136 horsepower and 220 Nm (162.26 lb.-ft.) of torque. The motor is transversely mounted and drives the front wheels. The single-speed automatic transmission provides seamless acceleration. The charging system supports both AC and DC fast charging, allowing for convenient replenishment of the battery at home or on the go. The vehicle’s energy consumption is rated at 24.4-24.6 kWh per 100 kilometers (39.27 – 39.59 kWh per 100 miles), translating to a WLTP-certified range of 339-351 kilometers (210.64 – 218.1 miles).
Driving Characteristics
The 136 hp electric powertrain delivers adequate performance for everyday driving. Acceleration is brisk from a standstill due to the instant torque characteristic of electric motors, making it well-suited for urban environments. While not designed for outright speed, the SpaceTourer e 75 kWh offers a smooth and refined driving experience. The single-speed automatic transmission ensures seamless power delivery. Compared to higher-powered internal combustion engine versions of the SpaceTourer, the electric variant prioritizes efficiency and quiet operation over raw performance. The weight of the battery pack does impact handling slightly, but the low center of gravity helps to mitigate this effect. The regenerative braking system allows for one-pedal driving in certain conditions, further enhancing efficiency and convenience.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The SpaceTourer M (facelift 2024) e 75 kWh typically comes standard with features such as air conditioning, a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a suite of safety features including ABS, electronic stability control, and lane departure warning. Higher trim levels may offer upgrades such as leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and advanced driver-assistance systems like adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. Interior upholstery is typically cloth on base models, with options for leather or Alcantara on higher trims. The dashboard layout is modern and functional, with a focus on ease of use. Optional extras include a navigation system, a head-up display, and a premium sound system.
Chassis & Braking
The SpaceTourer e 75 kWh utilizes a conventional front-wheel-drive chassis with MacPherson strut suspension at the front and a torsion beam axle at the rear. The braking system consists of ventilated discs at the front and solid discs at the rear, providing adequate stopping power. The electric steering system offers precise and responsive handling. The suspension is tuned for comfort, providing a smooth ride even on uneven surfaces. Stabilizer bars are fitted to both the front and rear axles to reduce body roll during cornering. The vehicle’s weight distribution is influenced by the placement of the battery pack, which contributes to improved stability.
Market Reception & Comparison
The Citroen SpaceTourer e 75 kWh has been generally well-received by critics for its practicality, spaciousness, and zero-emission credentials. Its range is competitive with other electric minivans in the market. Compared to diesel-powered SpaceTourer models, the electric variant offers lower running costs and a quieter driving experience. However, the initial purchase price is higher. Fuel economy, expressed as MPGe, ranges from 86-85, and energy consumption is around 24.4-24.6 kWh/100km. The electric version appeals to environmentally conscious buyers and those who primarily use the vehicle for urban commuting.
Legacy
The Citroen SpaceTourer e 75 kWh represents a significant step towards electrification for Citroen’s commercial and passenger vehicle lineup. The longevity of the electric powertrain is expected to be good, with the battery pack covered by an eight-year warranty. As the electric vehicle market matures, the SpaceTourer e 75 kWh is likely to become an increasingly popular choice for families and businesses seeking a sustainable and versatile transportation solution. Its impact on the used car market will depend on factors such as battery degradation and the availability of charging infrastructure. The vehicle’s robust construction and reliable electric powertrain should ensure its continued relevance for years to come.
