Not
sold in the United Kingdom where the tax régime does not
recognise that
vehicles of this type are commercial vehicles, the Dutch Xsara
Break
Service improves on the load space in the already capacious
Break or
estate car with an usable volume of 1500dm3 thanks to a raised
roof.
The
Xsara Break Service is offered with a choice of 1,4i petrol
engine,
1,6i petrol engine with or without automatic transmission,
1,8i petrol
engine, 1,9D diesel or 2,0 HDi turbo diesel.
Built
by ASH in Herkingen (near Rotterdam) on special order from
Citroën
Nederland. It takes advantage of a very low road tax
(and is
exempt from luxury tax on purchase) since under Dutch law,a
van has to
have a minimum volume. The ASH company also builds
similar
versions of the Xantia and XM
breaks.
