Second-Hand Citroen C8
Used Citroen C8
The Citroen C8 arrived in 2002 and shares the same platform as the Peugeot 807 and Fiat Ulysses. Early models used a series of 2.0 and 2.2-litre engines powered by both diesel and petrol. Economy and performance were improved when new diesel power plants were introduced in 2006 and the C8 became quite a big seller thanks to the intelligent safety systems and practicality it offered. It’s a great all-rounder that’s family friendly, functional and offers great value for money too.
What You Get
The standard safety equipment onboard the used Citroen C8 is very impressive. You get six airbags so that passengers sitting anywhere in the car can feel the benefit, along with intelligent electronically controlled breaking that makes sure that you can stay in control even in an emergency. Depending on the spec of the model you can find all sorts of goodies inside the Citroen C8. This includes more cubby holes and compartments than you will ever reasonably be able to use, along with options like panoramic sunroofs, front seats that can spin 180 degrees and cup holders that have their own refrigeration system. The seats allow for a wide variety of setups and this flexibility will be convenient for families.
How it Drives
The used Citroen C8 is a big, heavy vehicle laden with electronics and safety features. The 2.2-litre petrol engine is the most powerful, offering 160bhp to drivers, although most will opt for the fuel efficiency offered by the diesel iterations. Despite its size, a second-hand C8 drives well and can handle towns and motorways incredibly well. Overall there’s a nice balance between functionality and performance, which is what makes it a great family car.
