COMFORT AND FLEXIBILITY
The Citroën C8 can adapt with ease to cater for
the changing demands of your lifestyle. The three
rows of seating feature seven individual full-size
seats. All individual rear seats are rake and reach
adjustable and, thanks to a broad high backrest that
is slightly curved at the base, they also provide
excellent lumbar support. A third-row three-seat
passenger bench can also be specified should
additional accommodation be required.

THE FREEDOM OF SPACE

There’s plenty of space to move around inside the
C8.You can put it down to the huge variety of seat
configurations (you can join them together, reverse
them around or take them out completely!). And
to the generous dimensions of the cabin. And to
the completely flat expanse of floor. And to the
positioning of the gear lever on the dashboard
rather than being floor mounted. And to the
02E204 swivelling front seats on VSX models and above.
And to the optional third row passenger bench, It
all adds up to an abundance of freedom.

DIESEL DISCRETION

Combining performance with a responsibility
towards the environment, the Citroën C8 engines
can rival the best in their class.
Advanced HDi high-pressure common rail diesel
technology is recognised as one of the leaders in
the sector and offers the perfect combination
between power, economy, flexibility and
quietness. The 2.0HDi engine in the Citroën C8
produces 110bhp as well as an extremely
impressive 270Nm of torque from just
2,500rpm.

GEARBOXES

The Citroën C8 is equipped with the choice of

5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic
03E24 gearboxes.The dash mounted gearlever is ideally
positioned for precise changes, offering
02E220
responsive acceleration and power at your

sequential gear change function and is available RECADRÉ
on VSX models.

PARTICULATE FILTER

The HDi engine technology on offer in the

Citroën C8 is designed to minimise any impact
on the environment through lower emissions and
superb fuel economy. Certain C8 HDi models
can also be fitted with the ground-breaking
Particulate Filter System. The filter traps many of
02E135 the harmful par ticles responsible for the
generation of black smoke and periodically
eliminates them by burning them at very high
temperatures.

central locking function.

VISIBILITY FOR INCREASED SAFETY

You’re in the driving seat and you’re in control.
In fact, it’s never been easier to be in complete
control with the New Citroën C8.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
ESP shows its full worth when cornering.
The on-board Electronic Control Unit, ECU,
monitors the progress of the vehicle through a
bend and ensures complete stability and control by
instantly adjusting the engine revs and braking
system, if required. It can prove to be invaluable for
those momentary lapses of concentration or when
driving an unfamiliar route. ESP comes as standard
across the range.
Traction control
This comes into play when pulling away on poor
road surfaces when getting a grip can prove to be
a problem. If any of the wheel sensors detect the
first signs of a skid, the brake is automatically
applied at just the right level to alleviate the
problem and supply optimum vehicle response.
Traction control is linked to the ESP system.
Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA)
EBA comes as standard across the range.
Research shows that in an emergency situation
many drivers don’t use the brakes to their full
capacity. EBA cleverly compensates for this by first
02E164
detecting whether the brakes have been suddenly
and sharply applied. It then automatically operates
the brakes to their full force and at the same time
activates the rear hazard warning lights. And all in
the blink of an eye.
ABS with Electronic Braking Distribution
The Antilock Braking System (ABS) constantly
monitors and adjusts braking pressure to avoid
locking the wheels. Working in tandem with the
ABS, EBD automatically adjusts braking power to
each of the wheels to avoid skidding or spinning
on the road. ABS with EBD is standard across
the range.
26 IRL
02E143
All versions are equipped with a useful additional rearview mirror,
perfect for keeping an eye on rear seat passengers while still

02E139
The Citroën C8 offers automatic headlamps on VSX models,
switching on automatically in poor light or in heavy rain for perfect
visibility at all times. Another useful feature are the “guide me home”
headlamps which can be selected to remain on for 30 seconds after
you leave the car to guide your way in poorly lit locations. Advanced
