ALL-NEW MERCEDES CITAN (2022) - THE CHEAPEST MERCEDES IS A SMALL WORKHORSE!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes Citan 2022 is presented as a practical and versatile workhorse, available in Panel Van and Tourer configurations, including an all-electric eCitan variant. The review highlights its updated exterior design with a prominent Mercedes star and optional LED lighting. Inside, the Citan offers a more refined cabin than its Renault counterpart, featuring optional MBUX infotainment, a digital instrument cluster, and comfortable, durable seats. The Panel Van focuses on cargo capacity with a spacious, rugged load area and flexible door options, while the Tourer prioritizes passenger comfort with sliding doors and flexible seating arrangements, including an optional third row in the long-wheelbase version. The eCitan aims for no compromise on payload or interior space compared to combustion engine models, offering an estimated 280 km (170 miles) of range. While the entry price is noted at €24,000 for the basic Panel Van, higher trims offer more amenities. The reviewer appreciates the functional interior design and the availability of modern features, though some basic versions have more rudimentary infotainment and controls. The ride comfort is noted as being tuned for a more Mercedes-like feel, especially in the Tourer variant, differentiating it from the Renault Kangoo.
