Citroen Expands Euro 5 Nemo Van Range in the UK

The British division of Citroen announced today it has expanded the Euro 5 Nemo range on the British market with the addition of the Nemo HDi 75 EGS Stop & Start 660 LX model. The new version adds a new dual-function Connecting Box, which includes Bluetooth and a USB socket, replacing the previous solus Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity feature.

The Nemo HDi 75 EGS Stop & Start 660 LX also features Citroen’s innovative Electronic Gearbox System (EGS) - an advanced automated manual gearbox that enables the driver to select automatic mode, or manual mode using the sequential shift facility of the central gear selector.

The manufacturer brags the CO2 emissions for the EGS model are reduced by 3.54% to just 109g/km from the manual transmission Euro 5 model’s 113g/km. Its fuel economy figures are also better than those of the manual transmission van with 60.1mpg (4.7l/100km) urban (+7.82%), 74.3mpg (3.8l/100km) extra urban (unchanged) and 68.9mpg (4.1l100km) combined (+4.64%).

“At the launch of the ‘Citroen Vans - Business Class’ programme, Citroen stated that one of its key elements was the development of environmentally respectful, fuel efficient vehicles. The Citroen Nemo HDi 75 EGS Stop & Start 660 LX exemplifies this strategy. It enables hard pressed businesses to provide their drivers with the comfort and convenience of two pedal driving, while gaining from additional fuel efficiency and emissions benefits. And, amazingly, the Citroen Nemo HDi 75 EGS Stop & Start 660 LX is only £400 more expensive than the equivalent manual transmission model,”
Scott Michael, Citroen’s Commercial Vehicle Operations Manager, said in a release.

The Euro 5 Nemo van range thus consists of the following models (MRBP - Manufacturer’s Recommended Basic Price):
  • Nemo 1.4i 75 manual 610 X                                      £9,165   MRBP
  • Nemo HDi 75 manual Stop & Start 660 X                 £10,665 MRBP

  • Nemo HDi 75 EGS Stop & Start 660 LX                   £11,765 MRBP
