2007 Citroen C-Crosser
by Fei Lim
Take a quick look at this car, and no doubt you'll instantly recognize that it is made by Citroen. The 2007 Citroen C-Crosser is the new SUV by Citroen that is definitely high end luxury. While the SUV looks quite a bit like the Mistubishi Highlander, it definitely offers an elegance that Mistubishi has yet to pull off. Although this vehicle won't be winning any titles in the quarter mile, the turbo diesel engine definitely gives it plenty of power for most drivers. With 280 pound feet of torque and 154 horsepower it has enough power to slowly hit the 60 mph mark in about 9.9 seconds. Sure, that no winner, but plenty for someone who needs to convenience and room that a SUV provides.
The 2007 Citroen C-Crosser also has a six speed manual as well that works smoothly along with the partial all wheel drive system of the SUV. You can manually decide to drive in front wheel drive, all wheel drive, or you can even let the vehicle make the decision for you. This SUV comes with excellent wheels as well. When it comes to the wheels, they are some of the most unique out there on the market and they are torqued vee spoked 18 inch wheels that look and drive great.
There is quite a bit of room in the 2007 Citroen C-Crosser and it can sit up to seven people; however, it is most comfortable when only seating five. The back two seats fold down to provide more cargo space in the back, and usually this is the best option, since it can be pretty crowded for grown adults in the back. In the event that you need even more room for cargo in the back, the second row of seats also folds down so you can fit more cargo inside the SUV, making it great for people who frequently carry equipment or luggage that needs plenty of room.
Not only does this SUV come with great looks on the exterior, but the interior of the 2007 Citroen C-Crosser is great as well. You can get wonderful leather seats, and of course air conditioning, automatic headlights, and cruise control are all standard on this vehicle. If you want to spend a bit of extra money on the vehicle you can choose to have a great stereo system, a navigation system, and even a wonderful drop down DVD system come along with this vehicle.
A nice stability system works together with the four wheel driving system to give you a safe ride. If you are on slippery roads you can set the vehicle to auto mode so that it can choose what to do as you go over tricky terrain. While the engine is not the biggest used in SUVs, it does provide you with more than enough power while still providing good gas mileage. In fact, the 2007 Citroen C-Crosser actually gets close to 40 mpg, which is very good for a SUV.
Although the 2007 Citroen C-Crosser was only recently introduced and is still a concept car, it appears as though it will be in production in the near future. In fact, this concept car is so new that Citroen has not even officially announced a price. While it is rumored to sell for between £27,000 and £34,000, no one is quite sure what the actual price will really be once it is finally produced. This vehicle should be going on sale in the very near future, and more than likely will be quite a hit with those who like the SUV crossover style with a bit of luxury and style mixed in. Japan is actually the country producing this car, and it is the very first time that a French brand has ever had Japan produce a car for them.
If you are wanting to find a nice SUV that is sleek, well designed, full of the latest technology, and luxurious as well, then the 2007 Citroen C-Crossover is an excellent choice. Not only will you find the luxury and technology you want, but this vehicle has plenty of safety features to keep even the most concerned parent happy. It comes with six airbags, ABS brakes, traction control, and has a very rigid body shell as well to help keep passengers protected if there is a collision. This is definitely a SUV to keep your eyes on and it provides all the extras you want for a price that is reasonable.
