Available to order with the new products and features from June, the Citan also gains a new name for the Traveliner, which is now called the Citan Tourer to bring it in line with the new Vito.
The main changes have been made with a focus on achieving the Euro 6 emissions standard. From next month, all Mercedes-Benz Citan Tourer models will comply with the Euro 6 emissions regulations as standard. For Citan van variants, Euro 6 compliance will become available later in 2015 as an option.
All variants of Citan with diesel engine achieve Euro 6 through internal engine measures and a storage-type NOx catalytic converter. In addition, all Citan Tourer models come with the BlueEFFICIENCY package as standard, which includes an ECO start/stop function and improved fuel consumption for the diesel models up to 65.7 mpg on the NEDC combined cycle.
The Euro 6-compliant Citan Tourer also gains extra performance, with maximum torque up by 20Nm for each diesel engine, to figures ranging between 200Nm and 260Nm. Output remains unchanged at between 75hp and 110hp.
Citan also gains new optional equipment. 'Long' Tourer models registered are available with a panoramic roof featuring split tilting skylights above the front seats. The glass is tinted and each half can be opened manually and separately in the direction of travel.
A new navigation device is also available and is sized to the 1-DIN format and operated via a touch-sensitive 3.5-inch screen. As well as GPS navigation with maps for Western Europe, the equipment includes a USB port, a micro SD card slot, AUX interface and Bluetooth. DAB+ radio is expected to be available from Q4 2015.
Other equipment includes a new optional reversing camera plus an optional anti-theft alarm system that’s offered on panel van or crew van models and activated by the remote control on the vehicle key.
