The
external dimensions of a large people-carrier
|
Measuring
4.72 m in length, the C8 is 27 cm longer than the
Evasion/Synergie. The
overhang at front and rear is increased by 13 cm and
14 cm
respectively. These larger dimensions bring benefits
in styling, safety
and interior space.
The C8 is 1
.85 m wide (increase of 2 cm) and 1 .75 m tall
(increase of 4 cm),
making it one of the largest people-carriers on the
market with a
promise of generous interior space.
The
visual appeal and contemporary edge displayed by the
exterior, fit
perfectly with the innovative, high-tech styling of
the interior.

Original,
high-tech interior styling with unusual interior
design schemes
|
A bright dashboard reflecting
the quintessence of people-carrier design.
The
innovative and distinctive styling of the dashboard
expresses
contemporary values and a sense of well-being. With
its taut, pure
lines, shared information, and suggestion of
interior space, it
reflects the quintessence of people-carrier design.
The original
architecture comprises an arch and a central
instrument cluster.
An instrument cluster that
breaks with conventional design codes.
The
instrument cluster is organised around three spheres
placed in the
centre of the dashboard with a display unit
immediately underneath (a
large 7-inch 16/9 colour screen can be fitted here).
These instruments
display information on vehicle speed, engine speed,
fuel level and a
range of other data.
The
three-sphere display unit uses innovative technology
based on needle
dials. The ground glass covering the dials comprises
silk-screened
figures and graduations. The entire surface of the
sea green instrument
cluster lights up at night to create a shadow-play
effect that makes
the figures easy to read.
A
control unit, adjustable for height and reach, like
the steering wheel,
contains information on signalling, distance
travelled, maintenance and
oil level and, in the case of models equipped with
an automatic
gearbox, shows the gear engaged.
A
liquid-crystal screen on the central console offers
a fast display of
all information relating to the four-area
air-conditioning system with
automatic temperature control.

Innovative
seat styling
|
|
The
seats of the C8 reflect the original design of the
dashboard while also
focusing on comfort and ergonomy. The taut, geometric
lines bring out
the relief and presence of the seats. The use of the
foam-in-place
process, in which the foam is deposited on the back of
the fabric and
moulded with the surface, reinforces the sculpting of
the seat and
marks out the styling lines.

A
choice of original interior design schemes
|
The
C8 brings customers a choice of three specific
interior design schemes.
Each one uses different materials and colours to
give the passenger
compartment a completely different look.
-
Contemporary,
bright and cheerful, the Detente scheme is based
on a specific mesh
fabric with a raised trim on the seats and
dashboard and white
beech-type interior mouldings on the dashboard
and door panels.
-
Imposing, calm and peaceful,
the Cocon scheme uses velour and mahogany-type
mouldings.
-
Luxurious, airy and opulent,
the VIP scheme is the top-end offering with
Alcantara and mouldings of silver satin.
