Overview

The Citroën SpaceTourer is the passenger van variant of the Dispatch/Jumpy commercial vehicle platform — sharing the EMP2 architecture but configured specifically for comfortable multi-seat transport. Available in M (4.6m), XL (5.0m), and XXL (5.3m) lengths with 5, 7, 8, or 9 seats, the SpaceTourer is positioned as a premium people-carrier for families, hotel transfers, business shuttle operations, and group travel.

Developed jointly with Peugeot (Traveller), Toyota (ProAce Verso), and Vauxhall (Zafira Life), the SpaceTourer brought unprecedented car-like refinement to the large passenger van segment. Individual adjustable seats in all rows, Advanced Comfort option with heating, full-length panoramic glass roof option, and driver assistance technology more commonly found in passenger cars.

In Azerbaijan, the SpaceTourer addresses a significant market: large families needing 7–9 seats, hotel airport transfers, business executive transport, and private charter operations. The combination of professional passenger capacity with Citroën's comfort ergonomics creates a vehicle that passengers genuinely want to travel in — a competitive advantage for any transport business.
