is finally being brought in to the UK, with the standard highcube body and a choice of bodystyles based on a chassiscab design.
Sources at the recent Turin show confirmed that the vehicle, first revealed in Commercial Motor almost two years ago (CM 30 July 1987), will arrive in the country in the early summer, initially with the standard body. Other body options are expected to arrive later in the year.
The van, which offers a generous 760kg payload, is a proven design, having been on sale in France for some time. It is powered by the well-liked 44kW (60hp) 1,769cc diesel engine also used by Peugeot, and has a five-speed gearbox as standard.
Continental bodybuilders have developed a number of body designs for the C15. English van buyers can expect a pickup and several box-body types, including one with insulated panels, to be among those offered by Citroen UK.
With its increased payload, the standard van can now beat established market leaders (Escort, Astramax and Maestro) on both load volume and carrying capacity.
Citroen is likely to pitch the C15 below ,26,000, giving an advantage of around .21,000 over those rivals.
