Citroen Nemo Multispace: car-van multi-taskerNemo Multispace road test
Review: Ralph Morton
Citroen Nemo Multispace 1.4 HDi
What is it?
Citroen’s handy urban van kitted out as a passenger car with five seats. Ideal for light delivery work where a full commercial vehicle isn’t needed – such as florists and gardeners – but you also get the benefit of a car, too. Available with 1.4 petrol or 1.4 diesel engine.
What’s hot?
Boot torch is magnetic: usefully clamps to body
Rear seats fold down for flat cargo area
…with 2500 litre space when rear seats completely removed
Two side sliding doors for easy access
Cute, chunky looks
Comfortable seats with attractive trim…
…This doesn’t feel like a ‘cheap’ car made from a van
With low emissions of 119g/km there’s £35 road tax
High-up seating position gives good view of the road
Precise gearchange from chunky gearlever
In car mode plenty of passenger space thanks to upright seats
In-out rear access easy with specific open and close door latches
Thoughtful touches like magnetic boot torch which clamps to bodywork…
…Useful for changing wheels in the dark
What’s not?
Versatile boot space can be extended
No air conditioning – a £500 option
Agitated and bouncy ride over rough surfaces
No VAT reclamation
What you need to Know
Twin sliding side doors assist interior access

Business Van Manager Road Test Rating
Why have a van and a car when the Citroen Nemo Multispace does both? The Nemo Multispace makes perfect sense for non-VAT registered traders that need a small delivery vehicle during the weekday, but a car in the evenings and weekends. The Nemo is economical, spacious and lots of fun. A small business winner.
