Citroen has unveiled the New Dispatch VTR, a sporty and stylish special edition of the versatile light commercial vehicle.
The VTR is the flagship vehicle in the Dispatch range with its nameplate a nod to the iconic performance heritage of Citroën and fondly remembered models such as Saxo, C2 and Xsara. Just as those before it, the New Dispatch VTR offers attractive and appealing styling along with exciting performance to make it stand out in its segment. Citroën has recently announced its return to racing and will compete in Season 12 of Formula E, beginning with the Sao Paolo E-Prix in December. The New Dispatch VTR makes an instant impact with a unique body kit and VTR livery providing an athletic and aggressive stance. Across both panel and crew van variants, VTR’s attitude is delivered from a front lip spoiler, side skirts complete with integrated protective front mud guards, and a rear spoiler that enhances its clear sporty positioning.- It also features a rear bumper styled to integrate with, and compliment, the unique rear spoiler and side skirts, providing a harmonised, sporty design.Exclusive to Citroën the VTR features Diamond-cut Dynamic 18-inch alloy wheels fitted with high-load capacity Nankang tyres, which balance performance and durability with eye-catching style.The exciting specification extends to the interior where hand-crafted eco-leather seats areembossed with the VTR logo, vibrant red stitching, and perforated material for ventilation. Premium sporty styling meets practicality and comfort with eco-leather offering colourfast, scratchproof, tear-resistant, hard-wearing, breathable, moisture regulating and acid and alkali resistant properties ideal for a van environment.
Enhancing the standard cabin experience for drivers is the Comfort Pack, which includes dual-zone electronic climate control, keyless entry and start, wireless charging. As well as the Winter Pack with heated leather steering wheel, heated driver’s seat, and first row thorax side airbags.
