Launched locally in 2021 as the brand's flagship SUV, with a 1.6 turbo petrol and a clear focus on ride comfort over sportiness. The 2023 facelift pushed pricing into Tiguan territory from R633,900, and slow sales saw it dropped when Citroen trimmed its local range to two models. Used examples offer a lot of car for the money.
