Comparison: HDi Exclusive Citroen Evasion / Ford Galaxy TDI 110

If large, Diesel. Whoever five comfortable seats for adults and a large trunk, or six seats more comfortable, you need to choose an MPV of this size. And, for a minivan of this size, it is best a diesel engine.

Comparison: HDi Exclusive Citroen Evasion / Ford Galaxy TDI 110

A large MPV, such as tax evasion or Galaxy, useful to comfortably carry five or six people (seven are no longer so comfortable) or to have an extremely large cargo space. In exchange for these possibilities, it is less active safety, performance and fuel economy than a normal car. On the differences comfort no reviews: There are people who value space and luminosity of a minivan and who prefer a tourism because it swings less. What seems clear is that only for people who book the car for a few trips a year, it is best diesel. Both Ford Galaxy and Citroen Evasion have a direct injection engine (HDi or TDi, both 110 hp) which makes them very economical consumption, although with somewhat limited benefits if the whole capacity of the drive is used.


The differences are that the Galaxy is more like a tourist in all but size, while the touch even in the Exclusive- Evasion version is more “van”. In equal equipment (the comparable version is the SX), the Evasion is cheaper, because it has standard ABS, climate control and passenger airbag, three elements in the Galaxy are optional. The finish of the Galaxy is more satisfying and one of the points on which notice is closer to a passenger car. Despite the Exclusive finished in Evasion plastics are unsophisticated and even sharp, such as the door handles.

There is a significant size difference between these two models: the Evasion has the length of a saloon not large (measured unless a Xantia), while the Galaxy is the size of a VW Passat. In width they are equal and the Galaxy is also a little higher. This difference in length is what allows the Galaxy have some trunk when the back rows, but not much used. The seating configuration is the same (2-3-2); in Evasion there is an alternative six seats, which are larger, comfortable and cost 187,587 pesetas as an option. In any case the seats are subject to fixed points not on guides, but there are different ways to put them to distribute space. Along with the climate, the so-called “Family Pack” there are seats for children who are not really useful, because they can not replace a chair. Galaxy ventilation is better. The air conditioning is optional (no air conditioning), but more effective, because it requires less handling it. Evasion in corrections must be done, if it is very sun on one side, for example. The Galaxy has the option of a dual air conditioning, which is inside a package of options and costs 270,000 pesetas.

The driving position of the Galaxy is more like that of a passenger car, the relationship between seats and pedals; Instead, tilt steering wheel is greater. The Evasion has the small disadvantage that the shift lever can hide the controls ventilation. Neither is especially handy for holes they have to leave things and because, being so large, that there may be far away. Each type of door has its advantages. Sliding the Evasion leave more space to move out and allow more comfort when parking in or near a wall (both are very wide) battery. Hinged doors Galaxy weigh less and are easier to handle, especially on costs.

Evasion is to incorporate the new version HDi in 2-liter and 110 hp, with common rail injection. The Galaxy has a 110 hp TDi Volkswagen, whose main distinction is the variable geometry turbo. The performance of both engines is very similar coupled cars like these, large and heavy. Our test Evasion weighed 1.7 tons and nearly 1.8 Galaxy. Galaxy aerodynamics instead is more favorable; the total drag factor (coefficient penetration front surface) is 0.97 and 0.83 in the Evasion in the Galaxy. With these figures and 110 hp is impossible to have good performance, especially when loaded. The two, which accelerate alike, are suitable for all cases where it can maintain a speed not too high. When there are hills, curves or traffic, they fall short and require maximum engine speed up and anticipate much acceleration. It is conceivable that the life of one of these engines will not be like they would in a smaller and lighter car. Since benefits are not very good, you tend to go with the throttle (or nearly so) much longer than normal and usually bring the engine to a higher rate.

Consumption, however, is surprisingly low. In both you can make trips with cargo not particularly favorable conditions below 10 l / 100 km. With a moderate speed, smooth driving or favorable conditions (without frequent accelerations), it is possible to reduce consumption to about 8 l / 100 km. impossible figures for gasoline engines to provide more horsepower and performance, as the 1.8T 150 hp in the case of the Galaxy or the 2.0T veteran of the same power that still offered in the Evasion. Stability is good for minivans, but did not expect them agility and grip having a passenger car, despite appearances. Albeit slowly, either can reach 170 km / h; when to give or braking curves (or worse, both at once) do not respond as normal at the same speed car. Brake resistance is also lower than normal, especially in the Evasion, perhaps by having drums back instead of disks. Comfort is also similar. Evasion has the advantage that this HDi is smoother and quieter than the TDi, plus it is slightly longer development. The body movement -balanceo cornering, when accelerating or frenar- pitch are similar, but the suspension is slightly less flexible Evasion. Together, either are recommended for anyone with clear that a vehicle of this kind will give a service that can not give tourism. Who’d be thinking, better to decide after trying a Xantia Break or family Mondeo.
