Like my dog, the Citroën Nemo Multispace MPV is ugly – but in a very cute way. – and it’s an equally faithful servant.
It’s the outsize front bumper that makes it look odd but spotlights the obvious priority that was given to practicality and durability when this car was on the drawing board.
Those inventive French engineers have come up with a perfectly configured benefits package. Compact exterior dimensions that enable it to turn on the proverbial penny clothe an interior that light an airy, and spacious too – allowing five adults and their luggage to travel in comfort.
It’s an ideal vehicle for today’s crowded city roads but it’s no slouch out on the highway either. Despite its upright stance, it handles well on twisty country roads, the boot has a low floor for ease of loading and when you get there it’s easy to park the thing.
Competitively priced from just £12,345 on the road, the new Nemo Multispace is powered by an advanced, super-clean and ultra-economical Euro 5 HDi 75 diesel engine. With this high-tec powerplant, the Nemo Multispace’s carbon emissions drop to just 113g/km. An efficient, self-regenerating diesel particulate filtration system brings further environmental gains.
As an additional environmental boost the Nemo Multispace benefits from advanced, emissions reducing and fuel saving stop and start technology. The benefits of this include fuel consumption gains when driving in heavy traffic as well as silence and lack of vibration when the engine is stopped.
A high seating area and large glass areas provide brilliant visibility which, combined with the Nemo Multispace’s compact dimensions, make for that easy manoeuvrability. Big front doors and tailgate, plus wide rear sliding doors, make accessibility to the roomy interior easy young and old alike.
The level of standard Nemo Multispace safety equipment has been raised and now includes an electronic stability program, as well as ABS with EBD, driver and front passenger airbags and front lateral airbags.
Both outer rear seats have Isofix child seat mountings, while other safety features include height adjustable front seat belts with pre-tensioners and force limiters. And, to ensure that the Nemo Multispace is secure, all models have a transponder immobiliser and high frequency remote control central locking.
The price might be low, but the Nemo Multispace also comes as standard with front electric windows, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, a handy rechargeable torch in the boot and RDS stereo radio/MP3 compatible CD player with four speakers.
This latest Nemo Multispace boasts a smart new dashboard and instrumentation display – and to ensure optimum driver comfort, the steering wheel adjusts for height and reach. The driver’s seat is also height adjustable and is equipped with lumbar adjustment and an armrest. A multi-function on-board trip computer enables the driver to keep track of the Nemo Multispace’s exceptional fuel economy and a host of other journey-related functions.
The 98 mph top speed is adequate for the motorway while there’s plenty of through the gears oomph to enable the Nemo to keep pace with the traffic flow.-.belfasttelegraph.co.uk
