Along side it’s Lion-badged brother the Peugeot 4007, the new Citroen C-Crosser SUV has been announced by Citroen, and is set to go on sale from Summer 2007 onwards, similiar to the 4007′s sales date. The Citroen C-Crosser adopts the name of Citroen’s C-Crosser Concept 4X4 shown at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Power is provided by the same 2.2 litre common rail turbodiesel with particulate filters mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 4X4 transmission has the normal three options of 2WD, 4WD and a locked mode for low speed low grip conditions.
A feature I didn’t mention in the 4007 post – the tailgate opens in two sections. This makes it easier to load bulky objects into the boot. The lower part is able to support up to 200kg, allowing it to double up as an al fresco seat, perfect for owners with a love of outdoor activities.
BTW, have been trying to blog more often, but it’s very hard to post when most posts require photos, this means I have to grab them from the press sources which are huge because they’re also for print media, resize, upload, all of this can be done conveniently with a broadband connection. But what do you know, when the Raya holidays started, Streamyx decided to take a break as well, leaving me with no choice but to use an unlimited GPRS package which is only sufficient for e-mailing and text downloads. Streamyx has been down for 4 days now.
Is anyone from TM reading my site?

Like the color. Strong looking SUV but is the 2.2L Turbo Diesel big enough for this baby….
Paul, similar problems over in the East with our broadband service. *sigh*
this car's built on the same platform as the ugly 4007 right? because i see only minor differences… anyway this is not AS bad in the looks department. still nothing impressive though
Yes, I fully agree with you DtG that the looks department have to go for the side and rear end of the car……it looks too normal…….b'cos there are too many toyota, mitsubishi and other japanese cars around the market……plus some european model of SUV's and 4xwheels are all similar looking…….yuckxxx…… hope the designer department of both peug and citreon can both able to get to their boss nuckle heads that people are beginning to look at the future of cars just like hyundai is doing now on the looks department…….*way to go South Koreans!
I've seen pics of all 3 variants; Mitsubishi Outlander looks best, C-Crosser a close second, with the 4007 at third in the looks department.
C'mon man, you gotta be kidding. The Japs can't possibly design a car better than the Europeans!
I guess the Europens should stick to what they do the best in sedan and compact car department
Is there any alternative to Streamyx? I am completely fed up with it…
well…. that the citroen today, modern CITROEN.
smooth and sharp,(but wide face? …….who cares its citroen)
anyway, mitsu body seemed to be well composed all around here with the CITROEN rather than the PUG (paper shredder front).
love to see a slightly straight edge rear wheel wheel arch (rear lambo wheel arch, kinda) as part of a strong character of citroen.
anyone wanna comment wat does it looks like ?
stupid ppl
u know, come to think of it, this car looks like a bigger and more mature (but still ugly) Berlingo. reminds me of Pokemon. Berlingo evolves into C-Crosser!!!
looks better than peugeot 4007
Is it a trend to design ugly SUVs nowadays?
UGLY ………..yes
mercdedes wannabe….NO
audi wannabe…………..NO
bmw wannabe …………NO
immitation ………………NO
at least ugly in a fernch way, in a citroen way. (no stereotype of a common suv)
only to the fan of a citroen.
as usual…I'd say…When is this bloke going to be NAZArized..?
I think there must be a Photoshop contest to see how many dumb variants of this Mitsubishi can be dreamed up.
Phooey!
sick!!
i tellin yah, people who bought this,knows what they want, they want 'citroen', nothin less then a citroen.
sadly on the molested mitsu body, …………but its a common practice to have this kind of cloning nowadays..
same comment like the 4007…jijik…
Outlander looks the cleanest, C-Crosser looks futuristic and 4007 is just plain ugly.
I wonder why Mitsu didn't come up with a replacement for the Airtrek Turbo. That still looks good.
paul….
next, the c4 picasso.
At least it looked way better than Peugeot 4007 !!!
