SPACETOURER HYPHEN CONCEPT VEHICLE: CITROËN TURNS UP THE VOLUME!
Coinciding with the launch of the SpaceTourer, CITROËN is
joining forces with French pop group “HYPHEN HYPHEN”
to unveil a bright, vibrant 4x4 concept: the SpaceTourer
HYPHEN. Bursting with optimism and energy, amplifying
the character of the production version, the SpaceTourer
HYPHEN concept will be at the top of CITROËN’s playlist
at the Geneva Motor Show!
The CITROËN SpaceTourer HYPHEN has bright, breezy, go-anywhere looks, opening the way for unlimited
travel. As its name suggests, it creates a link between families and tribes, MPVs and SUVs, cities and wide open
spaces… On board, anything becomes possible. Every tribe and every clan can step on board and enjoy an
adventure without limits.
So it was only natural for CITROËN to join forces with pop group HYPHEN HYPHEN as part of its
communication. A lively young group from Nice, nominated for the 2016 French music awards, HYPHEN
HYPEN is becoming a key actor on the electronic pop scene.
According to Arnaud Belloni, Director of Marketing and Communication: “CITROËN has always known how to
innovate, to be a pioneer and to spot talent. After meeting HYPHEN HYPHEN, the idea for a partnership came
about naturally. This vibrant, offbeat group has a real graphic and musical signature. This may be a
communication campaign, but one that comes straight from the heart! It’s also a way for us to pool our values of
optimism, sharing and creativity.”
Boasting all the features of the standard version, the Citroën SpaceTourer Hyphen concept vehicle offers:
- a SUPERCHARGED DESIGN, protective and welcoming. It turns up the volume with an adventurous, rugged,
bright color scheme that celebrates freedom and functionality.
- an INVIGORATING INTERIOR, welcoming and comfortable for every clan. It immerses passengers in a casual,
colorful atmosphere in which everyone enjoys VIP treatment.
- ENHANCED MOBILITY that beckons you to travel in ultimate comfort. It provides even greater freedom in the
form of a 4x4 drivetrain developed by Automobiles Dangel. It stands ready for action, at the frontier of the land of
true off-road vehicles, and confirms its ability to get to the hardest-to-reach places.

2. SUPERCHARGED DESIGN
The Citroën SpaceTourer Hyphen concept vehicle exudes dynamism and energy, evoking freedom, leisure, and
open-air activities at first sight.
The overall balance and compact dimensions suggest strength and determination, without being overtly
aggressive.
The Citroën SpaceTourer Hyphen has an SUV personality and accentuates its original, robust style, with a broader
bumper along with wheel arch trims and sill protectors inspired by the Aircross concept vehicle. All these features,
in the matte Moondust Dark color, are amped-up by an anodized red-orange trim.
With a higher profile than the standard version, the SpaceTourer Hyphen concept vehicle sits on 19-inch diamond-
effect matte black aluminum wheels with bold, red-orange anodized highlights. To emphasize its all-terrain utility,
five elastomer straps are positioned on each tire, suggesting optimum road grip.
These straps also trim the vehicle’s front and rear bumpers. In anodized aluminum at these points, they give the
impression of even greater sturdiness. They also bring to mind climbing equipment: straps, ropes, carabiners.
The fresh, soft, iridescent green color enhances the fluid lines and evokes nature. The color stands out even more
in contrast with the glossy black roof and hexagonal-patterned sticker. A truly graphic interpretation that intensifies
the color gradation effect, with orange-red motifs, all accentuating the energy of the standard SpaceTourer.
This SpaceTourer Hyphen concept vehicle is made for much more than a journey: it brings to life an uncommon
community experience! A veritable state of mind where energy, fun, and freedom await you.
INVIGORATING INTERIOR
Open the sliding side door, and passengers are instantly ushered into a dazzling world. A bright, dynamic
atmosphere in which a light and colorful ambiance expresses well-being.
The roomy, functional interior space is packed with bold color and comfort choices, from the roof lining to the door
panels, the seats to the center console.
Once aboard the Citroën SpaceTourer Hyphen concept vehicle, every occupant enjoys VIP treatment. Each seat is
given a unique expression in color, repeating the shaded tones and graphic choices at every turn. The lower
portions of the seats are in sea-green Nappa leather with tangy, orange-red top stitching, while the upper portion
is upholstered in a color that varies with each seat. For corporal well-being, every seat is equipped with a soft and
springy sea-green Nappa leather cushion with orange stitching, attached on both sides with large, red-orange
straps.

3. An energizing, refreshing, and cozy ambiance, with tremendous acoustic comfort and thick floor mats in rich, soft
wool.
The roof lining and dashboard are sheathed in a special fabric and harmonize with the colors and design of the
seats. The entire interior is bathed in natural light that pours in through the broad glass sunroof.
An interior with asymmetric style and bold 2D and 3D aesthetics, for a truly super-powered vehicle that
guarantees an energizing experience, and where all the occupants can enjoy fun, freedom and an unlimited
adventure.
EXTENDED MOBILITY
Equipped with the BlueHDi 150 S&S engine with six-speed manual transmission, the SpaceTourer Hyphen
concept vehicle has on-demand four-wheel drive developed in collaboration with Automobiles Dangel. A drivetrain
that has the trailblazing capabilities of a 4x4, while preserving the handling and intrinsic performance
characteristics of the SpaceTourer.
This all-terrain option ensures mobility under challenging road conditions that can cause reduced tire grip. For
ease of motion, even on very rugged terrain, the SpaceTourer Hyphen has front and rear ground clearance higher
than on the standard version.
This transmission transformation, the work of Automobiles Dangel, preserves all the SpaceTourer’s comfort,
safety, and practicality.
For more information, you can view this concept vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show on the manufacturer’s stand in
Hall 6, on March 1, 2016, at 9:30 a.m.
