22 Overview:
Citroen Evasion (22). With 180 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1555 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling.

Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Tested in 1999, the Evasion (along with its platform siblings) received a 2-star Euro NCAP rating for adult occupant protection, indicating significant risks, particularly to the driver's chest and legs in frontal impacts.
