The second-generation Mercedes-Benz Citan has been unveiled as a new commercial offering from the Daimler group. The new model, which shares a platform with the Renault Kangoo, brings with it a number of modern features while retaining utilitarian principles.
The second-generation Mercedes-Benz Citan combines compact exterior dimensions with a generous amount of space. Thanks to a number of different versions and practical equipment details, it offers plenty of different usage possibilities and convenient loading. Cabin configurations consist of a panel van and passenger tourer for now but more variants such as a long wheelbase and Mixto version will become available at a later stage.
The second-generation Mercedes-Benz Citan is available with up to two sliding doors. These offer a wide opening on both sides of the vehicle measuring 615 mm with a load compartment opening height of 1 059 mm.
The Tourer configuration boasts a tailgate featuring a rear window but as an alternative, it is also available with rear doors. The rear bench seat can be folded down in the ratio of 1:3 to 2:3 and numerous stowage spaces and compartments facilitate everyday use of the second-generation Mercedes-Benz Citan.
A plethora of engine options are available for the Second-generation Mercedes-Benz Citan. The panel van range boasts firm’s turbodiesel 1,5-litre four-cylinder engine with three states of tune. Starting things off is the 108 CDI mill with 55 kW and 230 N.m of torque followed by the 110 CDI with 70 kW and 260 N.m and 112 CDI with 85 kW and 270 N.m. Two tunes for the turbopetrol 1,3-litre four-cylinder engine are available as well with the 110 delivering 75 kW and 200 N.m and the 113 offering 96 kW and 240 N.m.

The front wheels of the second-generation Mercedes-Benz Citan employ a MacPherson strut axle with wishbones at the bottom while the rear uses a space-saving torsion-beam axle. Trailing arms, ensure additional wheel guidance here, while the springs and shock absorbers are separate.
