Citroen Jumpy I 1.6i (80 Hp)
Overall Rating
Citroen Jumpy:
The Citroën Jumpy is a light commercial van jointly developed by FCA Italy and PSA Group , and previously manufactured by Sevel, a joint venture between the two companies formed in 1994. The Jumpy is also sold as the Peugeot Expert, Fiat Scudo, Opel Vivaro, and Toyota ProAce.
All three models were facelifted in March 2004 before being replaced by new, second-generation models in 2007. The redesigned models again shared the same design and engineering, with subtle trim changes between each brand. The second generation received a small facelift in February 2012 and from July 2013, Toyota began sales of a rebadged version called the Toyota Proace....(Read more on Wikipedia)
I Overview:
Citroen Jumpy (I). With 125 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1320 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 16.6 s). The top speed reaches 148 km/h. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. Seating for 2 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Citroen Jumpy I generation was not tested by Euro NCAP. As a commercial vehicle from the late 1990s, safety standards and testing protocols were less stringent than modern vehicles, focusing more on basic structural integrity.
1.6i (80 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Underpowered for a commercial van, struggling with heavy loads or highway speeds. Best suited for light, unladen city driving.
Fuel Economy
Poor fuel economy for its class, especially compared to the diesel alternatives. High running costs for frequent use.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Versatile cargo space and practical body design
- • Good range of efficient diesel engine options (especially HDi/TD)
- • Robust and generally reliable for commercial use
- • Relatively compact dimensions for urban maneuverability
- • Strong value proposition as a workhorse van
Cons:
- • Basic interior comfort and limited refinement
- • Petrol engines are underpowered and very thirsty
- • Limited safety features and no Euro NCAP rating
- • Older naturally aspirated diesels are very slow
- • Dated design and technology compared to later generations
