Five body colours are available: Polar White, Arctic Steel, Platinum Grey, Black, and Soft Sand.

Inside, Citroën SpaceTourer Rip Curl is enhanced with prestigious materials. The dashboard is adorned with a laser engraved design in silver, which also graces all the side panels, front and rear. The new special edition features a stylish instrument cluster with a 3.5-inch colour display and illuminated chrome plate surrounds. It is also equipped with a Mistral full-grain multifunction leather steering wheel and special Mistral floor mats with coloured stitching and a ‘Rip Curl’ logo on the front mats.

Packed with equipment, the SpaceTourer Rip Curl Special Edition promises excellent grip in all conditions. The Grip Control® system offers drivers peace of mind on all types of roads thanks to the winter tyres 3PMSF and five modes: Normal, Sand, Mud, Snow and ESP OFF.
