First look: Citroen Crosser cruises in

CITROEN took the covers off its all-new C-Crosser in Geneva last week, although the biggest sensation on its show stand was the six-wheel ute version.

Dubbed the Cruise Crosser, the 4x4 dual-cab concept is based on the C-Crosser and features a third axle to give it traction “in the harshest possible conditions, come snow, sand or mud”.

Power comes from a diesel-electric hybrid engine, which can drive all three axles or the rearmost axle alone in a “zero emission” mode.

The red compasses etched on the orange paintwork underline its go-anywhere intent, while the tray can be converted into seating for extra passengers (with a removable third row) and step plates are located on either side of the vehicle to facilitate access.
