The Eurovans are a family of passenger automobiles from the Citroën, Peugeot, Fiat and Lancia marques that were produced at the jointly owned Sevel Nord factory in France.
The term Eurovan was not used by the brands themselves in sales literature, but rather by the motoring press to refer to the vans collectively.
It was launched in March 1994, and production ceased in November 2010 for the Fiat and Lancia models, and in June 2014 for the Citroën and Peugeot siblings.
They share mechanicals and body structure with the Sevel Nord light commercial vans, the Citroën Jumpy (Dispatch), Fiat Scudo and Peugeot Expert.
The second generation models were all renamed, except the Fiat Ulysse, with the nameplates now Citroën C8, Lancia Phedra and Peugeot 807.
Like the Toyota Previa, and American minivans, they had sliding rear side doors, a trait they share with their commercial siblings.
While the Voyager also came in "Grand" versions with elongated body and wheelbase (and the Espace followed suit in 1997), the Eurovans only came in one size.
The Evasion (French: Évasion) was badged Synergie in the RHD markets of both the United Kingdom and Ireland.
In October 1998, the Citroën Evasion got a slight facelift, including a larger logo and a restyling of the front grille and rear bumper.
[5] The floorpan, wheelbase, and postponement[clarification needed] were not transformed, but all exterior dimensions, including front and rear tracks, were increased.
