This odd looking toaster on wheels is the Tubik Concept. The word Tubik came from the word “TUB”, the nickname of Citroen’s WW2 era delivery van. If you know how TUB and his son look like (Google Citroen H Van), you’ll understand why the Citroen Tubik has such a snout and a separate head – the old timers look quite cute as well!
Each seat is independent for maximum comfort. The first row of seats lets two people sit facing the road or facing the other passengers.
Passengers become spectators here, directed to the large multimedia screen in a semi-reclined position.
The Multicity project is the result of the studies by Citroen on mobility. Measuring 4.80m long, 2.08m wide and 205m long, the Citroen Tubik can carry up to nine passengers. The Citroen Tubik is the next phase of Multicity with a new solution, a concept car design to make travel meaningful again, offering a lounge-style cocoon to offer high levels of comfort.
The first row of seats allows passengers to either sit face to face or face the road. The Citroen Tubik will be powered by Citroen's Hybrid4 technology; a full-hybrid diesel drivetrain with optimized aerodynamics will mean the Tubik retains CO2 emissions comparable to a saloon. The Citroen Tubik can be lowered automatically for improved aerodynamics, reducing both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Inspired by Citroen’s renowned Type H or ‘TUB’ van (TUB is from the French acronym for low FWD commercial vehicle), Tubik is a 9-seater packed with technology. Striking both inside and out, Tubik boasts distinctive styling with colors and materials designed to meet the highest standards.
To make travel enjoyable for its passengers, Tubik incorporates a lounge-style cocoon dedicated to comfort and relaxation. The van is powered by Citroen’s Hybrid4 technology. The huge cabin door opens upwards and incorporates the entire side of the vehicle.
Citroen Tubik creates a high-tech world around the driving position, an area dominated by what the designers call the ‘cyclotron’ - a module that groups the seat, pedal assembly, steering wheel and curved head-up display in one circular form.
