Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Citroen e-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Citroen e-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Citroen e-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%

About this Vehicle

Citroën ë-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh Overview

The Citroën ë-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh is a premium electric people carrier designed for families and businesses seeking practical, eco-friendly transportation without compromising on space. This seven-seater MPV combines the versatility of a traditional minivan with zero-emission electric propulsion, making it an ideal choice for urban commuting and longer family journeys. The ë-SpaceTourer XL represents Citroën’s commitment to sustainable mobility, offering a spacious interior with up to 350 km of range in its extended battery configuration.

The ë-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh targets practical-minded buyers who prioritize passenger capacity and comfort over sporty performance. Unlike compact electric SUVs, this Citroën electric MPV delivers genuine seven-seat functionality with flexible interior configurations, making it particularly appealing to families, taxi operators, and fleet managers. The vehicle’s design philosophy emphasizes accessibility, with low step-in heights and generous headroom throughout the cabin.

What distinguishes the ë-SpaceTourer XL in the crowded EV market is its focus on real-world usability. The 50 kWh battery provides sufficient range for daily commuting and school runs, while the optional 75 kWh battery extends capabilities for longer trips. The ë-SpaceTourer XL features three driving modes—Eco, Normal, and Power—allowing drivers to balance performance with efficiency based on their needs.

Citroën ë-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh Performance and Driving Experience

The ë-SpaceTourer XL 50 kWh delivers adequate performance for a vehicle of its size and purpose. With 100 kW (136 hp) of electric power, acceleration is modest but sufficient for highway merging and urban driving. The electric motor produces 260 Nm of torque, providing smooth, linear power delivery characteristic of electric drivetrains. In Eco mode, power reduces to 60 kW to maximize range, while Normal mode delivers 80 kW for balanced performance.

Driving dynamics reflect the ë-SpaceTourer XL’s practical orientation rather than sporting ambitions. The front-wheel-drive layout ensures predictable handling, and the low center of gravity from floor-mounted batteries contributes to stable cornering. The vehicle’s substantial mass and aerodynamic shape mean highway driving requires patience, but city driving feels composed and manageable. Three selectable drive modes allow customization of the driving experience, with Power mode unlocking the full 100 kW for overtaking and performance-oriented driving.
