Mercedes-Benz Citan Levels Up Its Game Thanks to Vansports

Giancarlo Perlas July 4, 2022

There was a time when vans were very popular for non-commercial vehicle buyers because of their high level of utility. However, the arrival of the more appealing, more reliable, and more powerful SUVs gradually eclipsed their fame. Thus, they don’t actually get as much love as cars and SUVs from casual fans and tuners alike. Vansports is not yet giving up on the Mercedes-Benz Citan though. Recently, the German tuner unveiled its new project for the van to give it a bit of a sporty and adventurous appeal. The mods are only focused on the exterior but Vansports truly did a great job in making the Citan stand out. The… Continue Reading »

Mercedes-Benz Citan Tourer Has New Engine Generation And Sporty Design

Giancarlo Perlas February 10, 2019

Mercedes-Benz has been offering the Citan Tourer since 2012 as a rival to the passenger vans that populate the market. With its compact dimensions, this small people carrier has a large load compartment that’s perfect for a wide range of uses—from everyday riding to a leisurely out-of-town trip. Its functionality and economy have been the foundation of its success so it’s no wonder that the German automaker wants to make the Citan Tourer even more compatible for today’s demanding lifestyles. The van with a high-ride comfort can now be ordered with a high-torque four-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters, new six-speed manual transmission, and SCR technology. This… Continue Reading »

Vath Tunes Mercedes-Benz Citan

The Mercedes-Benz Citan is not typically considered by tuning specialists for a project they aim to work on, but this did not stop Vath from modifying one, as shown on a report from carscoops.com. The Citan is the product of the partnership between the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler. It is designed to be a passenger and light commercial vehicle. The van has three different body styles, the Panel Van, the Traveliner and the Dualiner. The Traveliner is mainly for non-commercial use and was the body style selected by Vath to tune. While the exterior modifications were not quite radial, they did change the character of the vehicle making it somewhat… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas April 4, 2016

Mercedes-Benz Vans is currently testing a new concept for a new sales channel.

Mercedes-Benz Citan Range Updated

The German luxury vehicle manufacturer announced recently that the Mercedes-Benz Citan is received a new set of updates, as shown on a report from worldcarfans.com. Citans listed as passenger vehicles since June are already Euro -6 emissions compliant. Customers can also request Euro 6 compliant Citans registered as commercial vehicles as of the same date. Internal engine measures as well as the use of a storage-type Nix catalytic converter facilitated the upgrade of diesel units to Euro 6. Due to this, it will not be necessary to utilize the complex SCR tech. Three output versions are being offered for the 1.5-liter turbo-charged diesel engine: 74 HP, 89 HP and 108… Continue Reading »

Mercedes Citan Kombi Gets 3-Star Rating

Emmanuel P April 25, 2013

In what must have caused no small amount of embarrassment all around, Mercedes-Benz’s Citan Kombi was recently tested by Euro NCAP and found wanting. This was because it was found to have less than satisfactory performance in some areas, such as the restraint systems, a marginal side airbag and gaps in the latching system for the sliding door. Added Euro NCAP’s secretary general, Michiel van Ratingen, “We’re disappointed that a company with such a strong tradition of safety as Daimler would take an old model and basically do nothing to make sure that its safety is up to date. With a little bit more invention, they could have improved the… Continue Reading »
