Citroën, the renowned French automaker, has unveiled its latest offering for the leisure travel enthusiast - the Citroën Holidays camper van. Designed for those who crave comfort, convenience, and a touch of sophistication on their camping escapades, the Citroën Holidays promises an unforgettable road trip experience.
A Fusion of Functionality and Modernity
The Citroën Holidays is built on the Citroën SpaceTourer platform, renowned for its maneuverability and compact size. Measuring in at a length of 4.98 meters and a height of 1.99 meters, this camper van is ideally suited for navigating narrow European roads and campsites. Yet, despite its compact exterior, the Citroën Holidays offers a surprisingly spacious interior that can comfortably accommodate up to four people.
The modern design philosophy extends to the interior, featuring a sleek and user-friendly dashboard with a prominent 10-inch HD touchscreen serving as the central hub for the infotainment system and various vehicle controls. Safety is a priority with Citroën Holidays, equipped with up to 17 advanced driver-assistance systems, including lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking, ensuring a stress-free journey.
Transforming into Your Perfect Home on Wheels
The Citroën Holidays boasts a cleverly designed pop-up roof that creates a comfortable sleeping area for two adults. When not in use, the roof seamlessly folds back into place, maintaining the van's compact profile. The rear bench seat cleverly folds flat, transforming into a spacious double bed, perfect for families or additional guests.
A Kitchen Designed for Culinary Adventures
Mealtimes are effortless with the Citroën Holidays' well-equipped kitchenette. A removable unit features a sink with a faucet, a compact yet efficient 16-liter refrigerator, and a designated cooking area, allowing you to whip up delicious meals on the go.
Convenience at Every Corner
The Citroën Holidays prioritizes convenience for its occupants. An outdoor shower with a 25-liter water tank provides a refreshing way to rinse off after a day of exploration. For added comfort, the van can be equipped with a removable toilet, eliminating reliance on campsite facilities.
Stay Warm and Connected
Even in cooler weather, the Citroën Holidays ensures a comfortable ambiance with a programmable Webasto heating system. Staying connected on the road is a breeze with a 230-V exterior charging port, a 230-V socket inside the van, and USB-A and USB-C ports for charging your devices. A wireless smartphone charging station adds to the overall convenience.
Practical Touches for Enhanced Enjoyment
The Citroën Holidays incorporates thoughtful features that elevate the camping experience. A retractable table provides a designated space for meals or games, while ample storage compartments ensure everything has its designated place. A removable kitchen area offers additional flexibility, and a sunroof allows you to bathe the interior in natural light.
