The Mercedes-Benz Citan

Innovative, award-winning and more affordable than you might think. The Citan may be the smallest van in the Mercedes-Benz range, but it really is big on the things that matter. Available in three different lengths with impressive loading capacity and fuel consumption of up to 62.8 mpg,* the Citan is the perfect business partner for city streets.

Safety Features

Driver safety is of paramount importance to Mercedes-Benz. ADAPTIVE ESP® is an innovative handling dynamics control system that supports drivers in critical driving conditions by improving the vehicle's directional stability, taking its load into account. It actively intervenes in certain dangerous driving situations - such as impending risk of skidding - by applying a specific braking force to individual wheels, adjusts the engine power output to suit the situation and even dries the brake pads in wet conditions.

Light and rain sensor: for a clear view on things.

Stay safer in a van that’s actively looking out for you. The optional light and rain sensor automatically modifies the lights and wiper frequency to the light and the weather conditions. As dusk is falling, or when entering a tunnel, the vehicle lights switch on automatically, while the first drops of rain activate the wipers, with speed intelligently adjusting to the intensity of the downpour.

Parking sensor: for ultimate City manoeuvrability

Bumps and dings increase the cost of motoring – and if left unattended, negatively affect perceptions of your business. The optional acoustic reversing aid with distance sensor makes very precise manoeuvring possible, facilitating parking in tight spots and helping to avoid potentially costly vehicle damage. The system, which operates on the echo sounding principle, alerts the driver when it recognises that space is becoming tight behind the vehicle, with a sound that becomes progressively louder as the obstacle gets closer.

Hill start assistance

The Citan is fitted with Hill Start assist as standard – take your foot off the brake pedal on an uphill slope and braking pressure is maintained for a short time, so the vehicle doesn’t roll back before you have chance to accelerate and pull away.

This is an integral part of the van’s ESP® system, only engaged on gradients of around 4 % and upwards (note it’s not activated when pulling away on the flat or on a downhill slope) and designed to make everyday stop/start city driving a little bit easier.
