Mercedes-Benz have introduced a number of updates to the Citan. Modifications have been made with a focus on achieving the Euro 6 emissions standard. Mercedes-Benz say the Citan is now “even more practical and individual than before”.

New optional extras have been introduced, which range from a factory-fitted navigation system to a panoramic roof or reversing camera. The new touch-screen navigation system has been developed specially for the Citan, and as well as GPS navigation with maps for Western Europe. The equipment includes a USB port, a micro SD card slot, auxiliary interface and Bluetooth.

The optional reversing camera is located by the number plate holder on the rear. It is activated when reverse gear is engaged, with the camera image being shown on the interior mirror.

The new options will be available to order from June.

The Citan Traveliner will also become the Citan Tourer. All Tourer models come with the BlueEfficiency package as standard. Among other features, this includes an Eco start/stop function and improved fuel consumption for the diesel models up to a claimed 65.7 mpg on the NEDC combined cycle. Mercedes-Benz said this consumption figure, improved over the outgoing model, does not sacrifice performance.

As from June all Mercedes-Benz Citan Tourer models will comply with the Euro 6 emissions regulations as standard.

The new Euro 6 compliant engines will see an increase of maximum torque by twenty Nm for each diesel engine, to figures ranging between 200 Nm and 260 Nm. Power output remains unchanged at between 75 hp and 110 hp. All variants of the Citan equipped with diesel engines will achieve Euro 6 through internal engine measures and a storage-type NOx catalytic converter.

For other Citan variants, Euro 6 compliance will become available later in 2015 as an option, ahead of it becoming a legal obligation.
