Citroën’s first ever SUV – the C-Crosser – will be priced between £22,790 and £25,490, exactly the same as its Peugeot 4007 cousin.

Both seven-seaters are powered by a 2.2-litre HDi turbodiesel engine offering 156bhp and claimed combined fuel economy of nearly 40mpg, and both are based on the chassis and running gear of the Mitsubishi Outlander which costs between £19,466 and £24,766.
