Company Car & Van April 2018

The revised Citan shows that clearly
Mercedes has thought about its target market
and created a typically Mercedes product,
robust, attractive, practical and frugal, with a
lot of goodies for your money.
Perhaps the Citan’s ‘Ace in the Hole‘ is its
dealer network, which has an excellent
reputation for looking after its customers, just
like its passenger car counterparts. The trick
for dealers is to get potential customers to try
the Citan and experience the ‘Mercedes
Factor’ for themselves. If they can do this, I see
no reason why it won’t continue to grow in
popularity and one day be as successful as
the Vito and Sprinter.
CC&V VERDICT
Ticks all the boxes as far as those Mercedes-Benz staples of
quality, workmanship and reliability are concerned. Will make all
big van users look twice when searching for a smaller
load-lugger and open the door to the three-pointed star for a
host of other commercial operators. Versatile, driver-friendly and
delivers on efficiency. Residuals higher than rivals and will cut into
any difference on initial purchase.
