Citro-n SpaceTourer towing capacity : the practical guide

The Citro-n SpaceTourer is a people-carrier, a body style that prioritises interior volume. Its kerbweight is generally higher than an equivalent saloon, which mechanically improves the 85 % stability ratio when towing a caravan.

Citro-n SpaceTourer towing capacity in one line

Across the 4 engines listed, built 2016, towing capacity is 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), with a manufacturer maximum braked towing weight of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). Take the lower of those two figures and you have the real limit, before factoring in your gross train weight.

Among the listed engines you find a battery electric line-up. The battery-electric version deserves special attention: while towing, range typically drops by 30 to 50 %, and homologated towing capacity is often lower than the petrol or diesel equivalent, because the rear axle is already loaded by the battery weight.

What you can actually tow with this Citro-n SpaceTourer

1,000 kg of towing covers most small utility trailers (flatbed, garden trailer, 2 m by 1.3 m timber trailer loaded), a single-bike trailer with a fully loaded road bike, or an ultra-light two-berth caravan. It is the typical threshold for compact saloons and small petrol or mild-hybrid SUVs.

Best fit: Ideal if you tow occasionally for short trips (tip runs, local moves, weekend errands) and are not planning a family caravan.

Watch out: At a 1,000 kg towing capacity, the margin over the braked towing weight is thin: make sure your towbar and wiring are type-approved for the real loaded weight of your trailer, not the empty figure.

Gross vehicle weight, gross train weight and payload

Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the maximum laden weight of the car alone : 2,950 kg (6,504 lb) to 3,030 kg (6,680 lb). Gross train weight (GTW) is the maximum laden weight of the whole outfit : 3,950 kg (8,708 lb) to 4,030 kg (8,885 lb). Payload (GVW minus kerbweight) sits at 1,003 kg (2,211 lb) to 1,094 kg (2,412 lb), the share you can use for passengers, luggage and the towbar noseweight.

What to check on the V5C of your own Citro-n SpaceTourer

  • Field F.1 / F.2 : maximum laden weight (GVW). The figure on your logbook is the only one that legally applies to your car.
  • Field F.3 : gross train weight (GTW). Compare it to the published values above to spot a discrepancy.
  • Field O.1 : maximum braked towing weight. Sometimes lower than the manufacturer brochure if your car was originally fitted without a towbar.
  • Field O.2 : maximum unbraked towing weight. Capped at 750 kg in most cases.

What licence do you need to tow with a Citro-n SpaceTourer?

If you passed the UK car driving test on or after 1 January 1997, you can now tow a trailer up to 3,500 kg MAM with a standard category B licence: the rules changed in December 2021 and the separate car-and-trailer (B+E) test was scrapped. Drivers who passed earlier usually keep grandfather rights. As a stability rule, less experienced drivers should keep the loaded caravan weight to no more than about 85 % of the car kerbweight, especially on motorways and in crosswinds. Always check the V5C logbook and the manufacturer plate before hitching up.
