2017 Citroen SpaceTourer XL Dimensions, Size & Specs

The Citroen SpaceTourer XL has a width of 1920 mm (approximately 75.6 inches or 6.3 feet) without mirrors. When the side mirrors are opened, the width increases to 2204 mm (about 86.7 inches or 7.2 feet). The mirror width is important for understanding parking and garage space requirements as well as safe maneuvering in tight spaces. The relatively broad stance of this minivan contributes to stability and comfort inside the vehicle.

The Citroen SpaceTourer XL height varies from 1890 mm to 1950 mm, which is approximately 74.4 to 76.8 inches (6.2 to 6.4 feet). The slightly taller height in some versions, especially those with additional roof equipment or trim, offers improved headroom inside the cabin. This increased height is advantageous for passenger comfort and ease of movement inside the van. However, owners should be mindful of this height when parking in garages or areas with restricted overhead clearance.

The curb weight of the Citroen SpaceTourer XL ranges from 1612 kg to 2092 kg (approximately 3553 to 4612 lbs). The maximum gross vehicle weight ranges between 2720 kg and 3100 kg (around 5998 to 6834 lbs). The curb weight reflects the car's weight without passengers or cargo but with all standard equipment and fluids. The maximum weight indicates the total allowable weight including passengers, cargo, and vehicle itself. Knowing these figures is essential for safe loading and ensures the vehicle operates within its design limits, preserving handling and braking performance.

With all rear seats in place, the Citroen SpaceTourer XL offers between 989 liters to 1237 liters (35 to 44 cubic feet) of luggage capacity. When the rear seats are folded down, the cargo volume dramatically increases to an impressive 4554 liters (about 161 cubic feet). This considerable cargo space flexibility makes the SpaceTourer XL particularly suitable for families, group travel, or commercial use where transporting bulky items is frequent.

The Citroen SpaceTourer XL roof load capacity ranges from 100 kg to 150 kg (220 to 330 pounds). This rating indicates the maximum weight that can safely be placed on the vehicle's roof racks or roof storage systems. Owners should adhere to this limit to avoid compromising vehicle stability, handling, or causing structural damage to the roof. The roof load capacity enables carrying additional equipment such as luggage boxes, bicycles, or sporting gear, increasing the vehicle's versatility.

Given its length of approximately 5306-5309 mm (about 17.4 feet), width of 1920 mm (6.3 feet) without mirrors (2204 mm or 7.2 feet with mirrors open), and height up to 1950 mm (6.4 feet), the Citroen SpaceTourer XL may be challenging to fit in some standard home garages. Most single-car garages are around 6000 mm (20 feet) in length and 3000 mm (10 feet) in width but often with limited height clearance. Drivers should measure their garage interior dimensions before parking this minivan inside. Folding mirrors can help with narrow garage widths. Alternatively, larger garages or dedicated parking areas might be more suitable for the SpaceTourer XL.

The Citroen SpaceTourer XL succeeded the Spacetourer’s previous generation which was smaller in size. The XL version, introduced in 2016, is an extended model offering a longer wheelbase and overall length, roughly 5306-5309 mm compared to the predecessor’s shorter length around 4600-4950 mm depending on trims. This increase in length translates into more interior space, particularly benefiting passenger legroom and cargo capacity. Width and height have also increased slightly, enhancing overall vehicle presence and usability. This generation represents a purposeful shift to make the SpaceTourer more practical for larger families and commercial users.

The Citroen SpaceTourer XL competes with other large European minivans such as the Volkswagen Multivan, Ford Transit Custom, and Peugeot Traveller. Dimensionally, it is among the longer models at over 5.3 meters (17.4 feet), offering competitive width at 1.92 meters (6.3 feet) and height approaching 1.95 meters (6.4 feet). Compared to the Volkswagen Multivan, which measures roughly 5 meters in length, the SpaceTourer XL provides more interior space and cargo volume. Its maximum luggage capacity of 4554 liters with seats folded is substantial within this segment, often exceeding competitors. The combination of length, width, and height positions it well for those needing large flexible interior space with comfort and versatility.

The Citroen SpaceTourer XL comes with rim sizes of 16-inch and 17-inch diameter options. Tire sizes available include 225/55 R17, 215/65 R16, and 215/60 R17. Larger rims with lower profile tires like the 17-inch options typically offer enhanced handling and a sportier feel due to reduced sidewall flex. The 16-inch rim with slightly taller tires can provide a more comfortable ride over rough surfaces by absorbing more impacts. The tire width (215-225 mm) offers a good balance between grip and comfort. Overall, these tire and rim combinations are selected to maintain comfort, stability, and safety in a minivan designed for both urban and longer-distance travel.
