Mercedes-Benz Citan — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Mercedes-Benz / List of Mercedes Citan Models without Timing Belt

The Mercedes-Benz Citan is a van or light commercial vehicle manufactured by the German marque Mercedes-Benz. It replaces the Mercedes Vaneo and is produced on the Renault Kangoo platform, thanks to agreements between Daimler and the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. It is produced in Maubeuge, France, at the facilities of MCA, a Renault subsidiary that produces the Kangoo. This case is similar to that of PSA and its subsidiary Sevel, which is responsible for their van manufacturing.

The Citan, like the Kangoo, is a versatile vehicle, designed to be both a light commercial vehicle (Panel Van and Dualiner) and a passenger vehicle (Traveliner). It has been in production since 2012, and although Mercedes-Benz had lost interest in small commercial vehicles, the rise of the van sector in Europe encouraged Daimler to regain market share with the help of the Renault group.

The Mercedes Citan commercial van is available in 4 sizes, just like the Renault Kangoo. The shortest single cab version is equivalent to the Kangoo II Express. The same version is also available in double cab. On the other hand, there is the long single cab version and finally, the very long or extended version, which is double cab.

So far there is only one generation of this MPV, but the second generation of the Citan is expected to arrive in 2022, coinciding with the launch of the third-generation Renault Kangoo. In this generation, there will be versions with an electric motor, as well as a variant of the van called the Mercedes-Benz T-Class, which would have family use.

The Mercedes-Benz Citan’s competitors would be other small vans such as the Citröen Berlingo, Peugeot Rifter and the Volkswagen Caddy.
