CITROEN'S SpaceTourer upmarket van-with-windows MPV has been given a new, more efficient engine.

The Blue HDi 140 unit offers CO2 emissions reductions of up to 11g/km against outgoing models and is available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.

Despite being cleaner, the new engine brings more power than the BlueHDi 120 it replaces - up 18bhp - and, when equipped with a six-speed manual, replaces the older BlueHDi 150 engine too.

The SpaceTourer is available in one of two trim levels.

'Feel' comes with eight seats as standard with six sets of Isofix mounting points for child seats, among a variety of other included features.

'Flair' trim brings black leather seat trim, a panoramic sunroof and electric sliding doors with foot-operated sensors. It also adds a head-up display, blind-spot monitoring and a 180-degree colour reversing camera.

A 'Business' trim level is also available for corporate customers, adding up to nine seats as standard, a hard-wearing plastic floor and air conditioning.

A sliding and removable second and third row give a flexible storage solution, providing up to 4,554 litres of boot space with the seats removed.

Prices for the new SpaceTourer fitted with the 140 BlueHDi engine start from £40,885 in medium length specification.
