The recently unveiled Citroen Type H marks a stylish new entry in the rapidly growing camper van market. With its eye-catching design and focus on comfort, the Citroen Type H aims to make modular van life more accessible.
A Fresh Take on Camper Van Living
Traditionally, camper vans conjure images of rugged, spartan vehicles with basic amenities. However, Citroen Type H flips the script, offering a hip, design-focused take on camper living.
At the heart of the Citroen Type Holidays is a focus on modularity and flexibility. The interior can quickly convert from daytime seating to an overnight sleeping space. The expandable top-hinged tailgate and sliding side door provide easy access. The available pop-up roof extension creates a cozy sleeping alcove while retaining a standing room inside.
Style That Stands Out
In terms of styling, the Citroen Type Holidays makes a bold statement with its two-tone khaki green and black exterior accented by orange detailing. The front fascia features Citroën’s signature LED daytime running lights integrated into a black cross graphic.
Large 17” alloy wheels coupled with black wheel arch extensions give the Type H a rugged look. Yet, stylish touches like front and rear skid plates maintain its urban appeal. It straddles the line between an everyday vehicle and an adventure-ready camper.
A Focus on Comfort
While most camper vans prioritize functionality over comfort, Citroen emphasizes creature comforts. Front seats can swivel 180° to face the spacious rear bench, creating a lounge-like environment. The bench folds down into a generously sized bed measuring nearly 6’ long.
For overnighting, the pop-up roof extension provides a cozy second sleeping space. This modular design means the Type H can readily transform to meet different needs. USB ports, as well as 230V and 12V sockets, allow occupants to stay powered up.
Packed With Clever Features
Part of the appeal of the Citroen Type H camper is its array of clever features. The rear bench, for instance, has integrated storage bins accessible by lifting the seat cushions. A small pull-out table also folds out from the bench.
The kitchen unit behind the front seats packs a lot into a compact space. It contains a sink, storage cubbies, a gas burner stove, and a 42L compressor fridge. Small touches like an integrated paper towel holder and spice rack make cooking on the go easier.
For added convenience, the pop-up roof houses an available 100W solar panel. This lets occupants tap into renewable energy to power devices and accessories. And swiveling front seats mean the kitchen can be accessed both inside and out.
Built for Adventure
The Type H leans into Citroën’s legacy of rugged off-road vehicles. Its Modutop modular roof can support carrying bikes, skis, or other gear. The Grip Control system optimizes traction on loose or slippery surfaces. A high ride height coupled with short front and rear overhangs improve its off-road agility.
Under the hood, the Type H packs a powerful yet efficient BlueHDi 110 diesel engine. This provides a 3,500 lb towing capacity, allowing you to bring toys like ATVs along. The 8-speed automatic transmission makes cruising the highway smooth and quiet.
