New Auto DCS gearbox, more equipment for Citroën's C-Crosser

To be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the C-Crosser offers an automatic diesel option in C-Crosser for the first time, a refined new 6-speed electronic DCS gearbox is now available with Citroën's powerful 2.2HDi 16V 156hp DPFS engine - in both VTR+ and Exclusive versions.

The new transmission provides both Automatic and Manual driving modes with paddles behind the steering wheel.

Thanks to the dual clutch design, smooth and efficient gear shifts are made without interrupting power delivery, with the engine applying torque to one clutch the instant it disconnects from the other - a ‘Sport' mode can also be selected for even more responsive performance.

As well as convenience and driver enjoyment, the new DCS equipped C-Crosser boasts impressive environmental credentials with CO2 emissions of just 192g/km (VED Band J) and fuel consumption on a combined cycle of 6.1 liters/100 km.

The C-Crosser also receives further enhancements in terms of interior finish and improved convenience. Bluetooth® connectivity is now standard specification on Exclusive versions, allowing for compatible mobile phones to be connected to the integrated hands-free kit.

Automatic windscreen wipers are specified as standard across the range and all versions benefit from an updated dashboard design with new chrome inserts around the dials and vents, plus an improved finish on the door panels.
