New Citroen Holidays priced from £56,590, available to order now

Citroen’s friendly Spacetourer-based camper to significantly undercut VW California

Citroen Holidays camper

Citroen has revealed pricing for its new Holidays camper van for the UK, with pricing set to kick off from £56,590 – a solid chunk less than key rivals from Volkswagen and Ford. Available to order now, the new model is described by Citroen as a “true mobile cocoon”, allowing for a “constraint-free travel experience”.

The Holidays joins a growing number of in-house camper conversions based on mid-sized commercial vans. As such, it’s a direct rival for the Ford Transit Custom Nugget and Volkswagen California, as well as simpler conversions such as the Dacia Jogger Sleep Pack. We also expect some future competition from within the Stellantis group, with the recently revised Peugeot Expert and Vauxhall Vivaro likely to gain new camper variants of their own.

To make the Holidays as useful as possible on a camping trip, Citroen has added plenty of creature comforts. There’s a pop-up roof tent with a bed and beneath, the second-row bench folds out to create a two-person bed.

A kitchenette area includes a sink and two gas burners, plus there’s a 16-litre mini fridge and both the front seats can pivot to the ‘living space’ to make use of a retractable table. The rear area opens up thanks to sliding doors on either side that can be electrically powered as an option, plus an awning to make the most of the outdoors.

Don’t think you’ll have to bathe yourself in the sink or a nearby river either because the Holidays comes with a shower at the rear, with a 25-litre water tank, there’s also a 10-litre tank for storing clean water and a 10-litre tank for wastewater - which we hope are both clearly labelled. A programmable control panel can operate the Holidays’ climate and ambient lighting, plus there’s a wireless smartphone charger, 2 USB-A and USB-C ports and a 230V socket.

As with the facelifted Citroen Spacetourer, the Holidays gains Citroen’s new logo which harks back to the original design from 1919. It also borrows the restyled Spacetourer’s new headlight signature, and updated bumper shapes front and rear. The interior also benefits from the Spacetourer’s latest upgrades with a larger 10-inch touchscreen and new steering wheel design with integrated controls.

The Citroen Holidays is offered solely with the 177bhp variant of the brand’s 2-litre turbodiesel engine, along with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
