Welcome

Presentation

The C8, Citroën's executive people-carrier, has sold almost 80,000 units since its launch in June 2002. With its attractive styling, sliding side doors, equipment and impeccable road manners, it ranks among the MPVs setting the standards for comfort and safety. The five stars obtained in EuroNCAP crash tests confirm its high standards of passenger protection.

To provide drivers with all the information and assistance necessary for relaxed driving, the C8 has gained several new features: a speed limiter coupled with cruise control, a tyre under-inflation detector showing the wheel concerned, and parking assistance with the vehicle silhouette and detection areas displayed on the multifunction screen.

Style

In terms of styling, as befits a car of status, the C8 gains 16-inch wheels on all versions and a new body colour, Fer Grey.

The design of the Citroën C8 front breaks with top-of-the-range MPV tradition and gives it a welcoming character and charm.

Its generous grill, structured by a central bar and chromed chevrons, the "smiling" oval of the lights and the rib on the bonnet flanked by its two curves give the C8 a friendly appearance.

Its compact and domed bonnet, its large headlights covered in smooth clear glass, combine with its wide cowl to express dynamism and ruggedness.

Its welcoming cabin of the C8 with its sliding electric doors can accommodate up to eight people in three rows. A range of attractive interior ambiences are available, including a new option with the first level of trim, featuring dark grey fabric seats with bamboo trim.

The central instrument cluster on the high-tech dashboard is also upgraded. Whether it has three dials, or two dials and a large 7-inch 16/9 colour screen, the cluster gains orange lighting and new screen-printing of contemporary design.

Comfort et technology

The C8 has two side sliding doors giving ideal access and making it possible to open the doors in all circumstances.

The side doors can be controlled in many ways, including from the front seats without leaving the vehicle or by remote control.

The C8's seats have an original design that perfectly illustrates its modularity and continues its policy of giving equal comfort to all passengers and tailoring the features.

A full stow control allows the user in just one gesture to easily fold the seatback flat and then stow it. The headreast retracts automatically during the stow operation.

The high seat modularity makes it possible to adapt the the boot volume from 225 dm3 to 2948 dm3 according to your requirements.
This great capacity, with a minimum of 1153 mm between the wheelhouses and the inside height, make it extremely practical.

LThe Citroën C8 features a complete series of equipment items and functions to fully control the vehicle and allow the driver to concentrate on the road :

• emergency braking assistance and automatic flashing of the warning lights in case of hard braking;
• all versions can be fitted with the ASR and ESP systems. Exclusive finishing includes a speed regulator;
• a low tyre pressure detection system, on versions fitted with aluminium wheels;
• a programmable overspeed alert can also be activated, which allows the driver to preset a max. speed not to be exceeded.
