This magnificent 2007 Citroën C-Crosser grey miniature faithfully captures the essence of the French SUV in every detail. Crafted with particular care, this 1/43 scale reproduction showcases the expertise of miniature car manufacturers and stands as a must-have piece for any French vehicle enthusiast.
As a true collectible item, this miniature perpetuates the memory of an iconic model from Citroën's international strategy in the mid-2000s, a pivotal period when the brand with the chevrons was exploring new automotive segments.
Launched in 2007, the Citroën C-Crosser marked the bold entry of the French brand into the large SUV segment. This vehicle was born from a strategic collaboration between Citroën, Mitsubishi, and Peugeot, as part of the alliance that also gave birth to the Peugeot 4007 and the second-generation Mitsubishi Outlander.
Equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine developing 224 horsepower or a 2.2 HDi diesel engine with 156 horsepower, the C-Crosser offered respectable performance coupled with permanent four-wheel drive. Its generous dimensions (4.64 meters long) and high ground clearance made it a versatile vehicle, capable of handling both urban trips and off-road escapades.
Despite its undeniable qualities and meticulous finish, the C-Crosser never found its audience in France, falling victim to a high pricing strategy and Citroën's relative obscurity in this segment. Its commercial production ended in 2012, making this model a unique chapter in the brand's history.
In 2007, Citroën was undergoing a profound transformation under the direction of the PSA group. The brand was seeking to diversify its range beyond its traditional strongholds, exploring new territories such as SUVs with the C-Crosser and premium sedans with the C6.
This period also marked the beginnings of Citroën's upscale strategy, which aimed to regain its nobility and distinguish itself from its sister brand Peugeot. The manufacturer focused on technological innovation, comfort, and bold design to win back a demanding clientele, while preserving its DNA as a popular and creative brand.
The history of the C-Crosser perfectly illustrates the complexities of modern automotive alliances. Few French drivers knew that their Citroën SUV was actually assembled in Mitsubishi's Mizushima plant in Japan, alongside its Japanese and French cousins.
This transcontinental collaboration led to some amusing situations: French spare parts crossed the Pacific Ocean to be assembled in Japan, before the finished vehicles made the reverse journey to be sold in Europe. This complex logistics partly explained the high pricing strategy of the C-Crosser in its home market.
Even more surprising, the Japanese C-Crosser differed slightly from its European versions, as Mitsubishi had adapted certain elements to local tastes. This uniqueness now makes the C-Crosser a curiosity item for automobile enthusiasts, a testament to an era when manufacturers readily shared their platforms across borders and automotive cultures.
This Citroën C-Crosser miniature naturally fits alongside other iconic models of the brand with the chevrons. It perfectly integrates into a collection dedicated to Citroën miniature cars, where it will happily coexist with legendary models like the DS, 2CV, or Traction Avant.
Collectors passionate about the evolution of French automobiles will enjoy pairing it with other French 4x4 miniatures, or even creating a thematic collection around cars from the 2000s. This pivotal time in the automotive industry offers numerous gems to enrich a collection, from French cars to foreign models that marked the decade.
Destined for both seasoned collectors and newcomers discovering the world of miniature cars, this reproduction of the C-Crosser will particularly appeal to those passionate about the recent history of French automobiles and those interested in international collaborations between manufacturers.

In addition to the fact that the 1/43 miniatures received are perfectly in line with the photographs and my expectations and are of great finesse, they arrived very quickly (I was even informed of the shipment) and very carefully packaged. Very satisfied, I placed a new order with Bernard Miniatures, a seller I recommend for their selection and reliability.
The scale is the reduction ratio between the real car and the model. At 1:43 scale, for example, every centimetre of the model represents 43 centimetres of the real vehicle.
In practice, a 1:18 Ferrari model is about 25–30 cm long, while at 1:43 it measures roughly 10 cm.
Our model cars mainly come in 1:43, 1:24, 1:18 and 1:87 (HO) scale. The scale is always listed on the product page.
The smaller the second number, the bigger the model (e.g. 1:18 is larger than 1:43).
Yes, every model car ships in its protective box. The box preserves its collector value and protects your model from dust and knocks.
We pack every order with great care: bubble wrap, snug padding and polystyrene. Your model car is fully secured on its way to you.
In-stock items ship within 24–48h. Allow 2–3 business days for mainland France with Colissimo, or 4–5 days with Mondial Relay.
I can't say exactly when new stock will arrive, as it comes in a trickle. Feel free to contact me and I'll let you know as soon as it's available.
