âïž Engine Specifications
Primary Engine
Engine Options 1995:
Likely includes the XU7JP (1.8L) and XU10J4R (2.0L) naturally aspirated petrol engines, and potentially DW8 (1.9L Diesel) and DW10TD (2.0L HDi) diesel engines.
Performance
Typical Horsepower 2.0L:
Approximately 132-135 PS (97-99 kW) for the 2.0L petrol engine.
Typical Torque 2.0L:
Around 174-181 Nm (128-133 lb-ft) for the 2.0L petrol engine.
Fuel System
Fuel Injection Type:
Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for petrol engines, common rail injection for HDi diesel engines.
Emission Control
Emission Standards:
Euro 1 or Euro 2 emission standards depending on market and specific engine.
đ§ Transmission
Standard
Standard Transmission:
Typically a 5-speed manual transmission.
Optional
Optional Transmission:
A 4-speed automatic transmission was also available.
Approximately 1500-1650 kg (3300-3640 lbs) depending on engine and equipment.
đĄïž Safety Features
Ratings
Euro Ncap Rating:
While specific ratings for 1995 models are not readily available, the platform was developed concurrently with the Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Zeta, which achieved varying safety results in later testing. The Evasion likely offered standard safety features for its era.
Active Features
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was an optional or standard feature on higher trims.
Passive Features
Airbags:
Driver airbag was standard; passenger airbag was an optional extra for 1995 models.
Seatbelts:
Three-point seatbelts for all occupants, with pre-tensioners for front seats likely included.
đĄ Technology Features
Infotainment
Audio System:
Factory fitted radio cassette players, often with steering wheel mounted controls on higher trims.
Driver Assistance
Cruise Control:
Optional cruise control system available on many models.
Connectivity
Multiplex Communication:
Introduction of multiplexed wiring systems for some functions, managing components like the instrument panel, lighting, and door locks for improved efficiency and reduced wiring complexity.
đ§ Maintenance
Service Intervals
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 - 15,000 km (6,000 - 9,000 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions.
Timing Belt Interval:
Crucial maintenance item; generally recommended every 80,000 - 120,000 km (50,000 - 75,000 miles) or 5-7 years for petrol engines, and similar for diesel depending on specific engine type.
Fluid Specifications
Engine Oil Spec:
Typically API SJ or ACEA A3/B3 or A3/B4. Viscosity grades like 5W-40 or 10W-40 are common. The manual will specify the exact Peugeot/Citroën approval.
Coolant Spec:
Ethylene glycol based coolant with anti-corrosion additives. PSA specified coolant (e.g., blue or green long-life coolant) is recommended. Capacity around 7.5 - 8.5 liters.
Brake Fluid Spec:
DOT 4 brake fluid is standard.
Known Issues
Common Problems:
Potential issues include suspension component wear (bushings, ball joints), electrical gremlins (especially with multiplex systems as they evolved), EGR valve issues on diesel engines, and potential for head gasket leaks on higher mileage petrol engines.
Air Conditioning Issues:
Common for A/C systems to lose refrigerant over time, requiring leak detection and recharge.
đ Vehicle History
Brand Heritage
Citroen Mpv History:
Citroën has a history of innovative people carriers, building on the success of models like the BX Break and later the Xsara Picasso.
Model Evolution
Sevel Europe Collaboration:
The Evasion was part of the Eurovan project, a collaboration between PSA (Peugeot and Citroën) and Fiat Auto (Fiat and Lancia). This resulted in the Citroën Evasion, Peugeot 806, Fiat Ulysse, and Lancia Zeta, sharing much of their platform and mechanicals.
