FUNCTIONAL AND COMFORTABLE INTERIOR
The C-Crosser is a true family car with its 5+2 seat configuration boasting easy-to-use modularity. The vehicle’s generous dimensions (2.67-metre wheelbase) house comfortable living space, numerous stowage compartments and an enormous boot with a split tailgate for easy loading.
The C-Crosser adds the agreeable to the practical with a range of sophisticated equipment for extra onboard comfort.
Easy-to-use modularity
The C-Crosser features easy-to-use modular design. Occupants can make interior changes both quickly and effortlessly.
With its occasional two-seater bench in row three, the vehicle can seat up to seven passengers. The bench folds away completely into the floor for a perfectly flat and impressively capacious loading surface.
Access to row three is made easier by full-tilting, sliding seats in row two and two aluminium-coloured bars attached to the side panels in the boot. Passenger safety is enhanced by two retracting head rests and two safety belts with inertia reels anchored to the pillar.
The seats and seatbacks in row two can split-fold 60/40. For passenger comfort, the seat backs have three adjustable positions and both parts of the bench feature independent fore-and-aft adjustment over 80 mm. Row two can be manually folded, portfolio-style, against row one, using handles located on either side of the seats, or automatically, with two electric controls on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the boot above the wheel arches. This folding function provides a large loading surface and a flat floor.
Enormous, practical boot
Boot volume under the parcel shelf is among the largest in the category. In its most commonly used, 5-seater configuration (with row 3 folded away), the C-Crosser offers 510 litres (VDA standard) with row 2 seats pushed fully forward, and 441 litres VDA with row 2 seats as far back as possible.
With all the back seats folded away, boot capacity totals 1,686 litres VDA.
Another C-Crosser strong point is its split-opening tailgate.
When open, the lower part of the tailgate optimises the advantages of the flat floor of the luggage compartment, as it can be used for sliding in bulky or heavy objects, and even as a seat (supporting up to 200 kg). It also makes it easier to load the boot, since it lowers the sill by 640 mm. When closed, the entire height of the boot, and thus all its load capacity, can be used.
The upper part of the tailgate, used regularly, is light and compact for easy use.
Yet another practical boot feature is the soft luggage blind, which has two positions to take into account the tilt of the seats in row two. In addition, two aluminium side rails and four lashing hooks can be used for attaching accessories like the separation or storage net. A 12-volt socket is located on the left-hand side of the boot, and tools for fitting the spare wheel are housed in one of the boot’s two stowage bins.
The spare wheel is placed under the body to free up interior space and also to avoid having to unload the boot to get at the spare wheel.
Functional storage
The C-Crosser cabin features a total of 22 stowage compartments, sized and designed with passengers and practicality in mind.
At the front, passengers benefit from a closed compartment on the top of the dashboard, along with two glove boxes: the one at the top has a heating or cooling function (depending on whether the occupants are heating or air conditioning the cabin) and a knob to switch this system off; the other boasts large capacity and can be locked.
The central arm rest features fore-and-aft adjustment (sliding 65 mm with a simple push or pull) and a splitopening function. The generously sized lower part houses a 12-volt socket, while the upper section can hold small objects.
Both front doors are fitted with cubbies and a bottle holder. There is also a range of stowage compartments for everyday objects, such as glasses, pens, cards and cups, along with a removable ashtray.
The middle seat in row two contains an arm rest with two cup holders. The front seats get map pockets, while those in the back have cubbies with space for a bottle.
Passengers in row three benefit from a stowage compartment located on the right wheel arch. The boot is equipped with two storage bins placed behind the wheel arches. The left-hand bin houses the subwoofer for the optional top-end stereo system, while the right-hand bin is for the spare wheel tools.
Top-of-the-range equipment
To enhance onboard comfort, the C-Crosser is available with a broad range of high-tech equipment.
High-quality audio pack
The C-Crosser comes with an optional audio system developed by specialist company Rockford Fosgate to provide passengers with a customised, high-performance sound experience.
The system features 8 speakers judiciously placed around the cabin, a subwoofer (housed in the left-hand side of the boot), and a 650-watt amplifier, placed under the front passenger seat.
Driver and passengers enjoy excellent sound quality, with optimised acoustic reproduction and sound distribution in all circumstances.
New-generation navigation system
The C-Crosser is available with a navigation system including a tactile 7-inch colour screen and a hard disk for rapid and quiet operation.
The 30-gigabyte hard disk contains a European map database and reserves a third of its capacity for music storage. C-Crosser passengers can thus record up to 2,500 MP3/WMA-format songs.
A reversing camera for easy manoeuvres
For trouble-free parking in the tightest spaces, the C-Crosser has a reversing camera that is linked to the optional navigation system.
The camera, located above the registration plate, is activated automatically when the driver shifts into reverse. The image it captures is displayed on the navigation screen. Two green lines superimposed on the image inform the driver of the vehicle’s future position if it were to reverse.
Bluetooth, to make and receive telephone calls safely
The C-Crosser can be fitted with a hands-free Bluetooth system, a convenient and safe option for making incar calls from a mobile phone, since drivers can make and receive calls without taking the phone out of their pocket.
With this option, the driver can make a call by using the voice recognition function (in French, English, German, Italian and Spanish) or the dedicated controls located on the steering wheel, to pick up and hang up.
