Citroën revives its legendary Type H van in sheet metal and reinterprets it as a small camper dedicated to family escapes.

While trying to please everyone, you mainly risk pleasing no one. Also, being divisive is not a bad thing, because you know why we love you sincerely. This astonishing van signed by Citroën, in partnership with the Italian coachbuilder Caselani, is the perfect example: not everyone will be comfortable driving it, so what? Those who do will be seen by other road users as cool people with a rare desire for escape.

It must be said that since the Covid pandemic in 2020, the entire European continent seems to be driven by the desire to travel in a camper van, rather than necessarily by plane to the other side of the world. This shift is reflected in an increasing offer of converted vans as living spaces: Citroën, Ford, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Renault, etc. One wonders whether supply and demand will be compatible. And with its quirky Type Holidays, which will go on sale at the end of 2023, Citroën has made a strong statement… and in the rearview mirror.

Under this wavy exterior, the utility vehicle SpaceTourer, a market reference, is found. Inside, all the necessary comfort for short trips that are not too extreme will be offered:

  • A pop-up roof that allows standing inside the living space of the Citroën Type Holidays and houses a large bed for 2 people for overnight stays.
  • A second-row bench seat that opens into a comfortable 2-person bed. Additionally, this bench is fully removable to free up storage space.
  • Two swivel front seats facing the living space of the vehicle.
  • A complete kitchenette (cooking area, sink, refrigerator)
  • A foldable table for dining or working, and several cabinets for storing belongings.
  • A Webasto heating system to ensure optimal temperature onboard.

What better way to escape with the kids and the dog between work breaks? At Mobiwisy, we applaud the boldness of this approach.
