UK: The new Citroën Nemo Multispace

Offered in one trim level, the MPV version of the award-winning LCV model appeals to drivers looking for a simple vehicle with functionality and space for the whole family.

However functional the New Nemo Multisapce may be, it doesn't lack creature comforts with remote central locking, electric windows, power steering, split rear seats, 4 airbags, trip computer and even ‘guide me home' lights fitted as standard.

The Nemo Multispace's distinctive appearance expresses a fun and functional personality with the smooth lines of its short front and vertical rear end. The wide windscreen, good glass area and large door mirrors allow impressive visibility from the inside and give the Nemo Multispace its signature Citroën MPV character.

With its chunky two-tone front and rear bumpers, sculpted wheel arches and black side rubbing strips the car has an ‘active' appearance. The clear-lens headlamps and large chevrons communicate robustness and purpose.

Twin sliding doors in the rear provide an easy, wide access point for passengers, even in restricted locations. The large tailgate, with the Citroën chevrons prominently positioned in the centre, provides convenient, low-threshold loading and easy access to the car's contents.

A car designed for being at home in the urban environment, the Nemo Multispace's compact size and tight - sub 10 metre - turning circle offers drivers agile city mobility whilst the car is capable of providing smooth, long distance running and good fuel economy on the open road.

For those in need of more space than the Nemo Multispace's already impressive 360-litre boot volume, it can be increased to either 890-litres with rear seats folded or a massive 2500-litres with the rear seats completely removed. For added convenience the removable luggage shelf can be stored behind the back of the rear bench.

Offering users flexible functionality, there are numerous convenient stowage compartments positioned throughout the cabin with 12 locations at the front to meet a range of requirements. The rugged PVC cabin floor covering underlines the car's practical personality.

A typically Citroën touch, the Multispace features a removable torch mounted in the boot which also doubles as the boot light. When removed from its mounting the smart gadget provides a useful portable light source and is recharged when placed back in its cradle.

The Nemo Multispace can be powered by either a 1.4i 75hp petrol unit or an efficient 1.4HDi 70hp diesel available with standard or Sensodrive transmission. Citroën's automated manual Sensodrive gearbox provides the two pedal convenience of a conventional automatic transmission with the fuel economy and low CO2 emissions of a manual gearbox.

Ensuring inexpensive mileage for families on a budget, the ultra frugal HDi unit boasts an optimised fuel economy of 3.7 liters/100 km on the combined cycle with a range of around 998 kilometers on its 37 litre tank.

Thanks to the engine's low CO2 emissions of just 119g/km, the HDi model comes with Citroën's Airdream label, a special eco-signature only bestowed on the Company's most environmentally conscious vehicles. The low CO2 emissions also mean drivers can benefit from low road fund licence.

Safe and secure, the Nemo Multispace is equipped with ABS, driver and passenger airbags as well as front lateral airbags as standard. The imposing, robust design of the bonnet and front bumpers also offers strength and rigidity whilst rear fog lights and a high-level third brake light ensure optimum visibility to other road users.

For the secure fitment of child seats there are two Isofix anchor points on the two outer rear seats and an automatic door locking feature is installed that activates when the vehicle is in motion. Remote central locking and an immobiliser are also fitted as standard.
