The Citroën Synergie, sold in Europe as the Citroën Evasion, was a minivan automobile produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot from 1994 to 2002.

The Evasion design was developed in the joint-venture Sevel Nord project set up by the PSA Group and Fiat; the Peugeot 806, Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Zeta are badge-engineered versions of the same car. All four were assembled at the Sevel Nord factory in Valenciennes, France. The Evasion was badged Synergie in the right hand drive markets of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, presumably due to the existence of the English word "evasion" which is pronounced differently from the French and has somewhat negative connotations. However, the car retained the Evasion name in Australia and New Zealand.

The Peugeot and Citroën units shared the diesel engine range, initially using the well-known 1.9 turbodiesel 90 hp XUD engine, which was replaced by a 2·2 offering 110 hp, which was subsequently replaced by the 2·0 HDi in 2000. The Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Zeta were equipped with Fiat's JTD diesel engines. All brands used a common 2·0 litre petrol engine producing 137 hp.

In 2002, the Evasion/Synergie was discontinued and replaced by the Citroën C8.
