A true Mercedes-Benz at first glance: the look of the new Mercedes-Benz Citan is unmistakably typical of the brand because of the chrome-plated star in the prominent and sturdy radiator grille with its three sporty, perforated fins. The Citan’s striking headlamps and the arrow-shaped bonnet with its clearly defined edges complete the look. The trapezoidal cooling air intake in the bumper emphasises the width of the Citan. This feature is also a typical styling element for Mercedes-Benz and can be found throughout the different models: from the current compact-class passenger-car range right up to the new Actros.
The rear window also emphasises the width. Its angled lower edge takes up the line of the vertically arranged rear lights. On versions with rear doors, the panel for the licence plate is located on the left-hand door which is the wider of the two asymmetrical doors. If the customer purchases the Mercedes-Benz with a tailgate, the licence plate is centrally positioned.
The Citan’s interior is also typical for Mercedes-Benz.The driver and the co-driver have seats with taut and comfortable upholstering. The shape of the backrests follows the line of the body, providing lateral support and thus comfort and safety. The fabric cover of the seats is both skin-friendly and breathable as well as being easy-to-clean and resilient, another feature that is typical of the brand.
The new Citan’s cockpit is also a characteristic for Mercedes-Benz. And not merely because of the star in the steering wheel boss: combination switch, gear-lever knob, light switch or dashboard buttons – the arrangement, appearance and function of the driver’s workplace all correspond to the Mercedes-Benz standard.
Functionality for the everyday use is the Citan’s key emphasis: a large glove box, a stowage compartment between the front seats as well as a practical overhead stowage compartment across the entire width of the windscreen offer abundant space for the large and small objects of a driver’s day-to-day life. The new Citan’s standard equipment is oriented towards the practical use and includes a height-adjustable steering wheel, remote central locking and exterior mirrors that can be adjusted from the interior.
