Mercedes-Benz Citan (2012)

A mí me gusta teniendo en cuenta que es un vehículo comercial.
Por un lado han conseguido hacer un vehículo comercial bonito.
Por otro han conseguido transferirle una genética Mercedes pero sin parecerse demasiado a los otros productos de gamas más elitístas, lo cual les hubiese quitado «glamour».

Eso es ahora… pero van a empezar a aplicarle esta estética al resto de la gama.

¿Te refieres a aplicarle la estética del nuevo Citan a los futuros modelos no comerciales/industriales de la marca?
Si lo hacen será un craso error por su parte.
De hecho no creo que lo hagan, lo más lógico es que a los nuevos vehículos comerciales/industriales le apliquen una estética parecida a los modelos ya existentes para que el público los asocie a la marca, y que los/las nuevos coupes, berlinas, tts, etc… lleven un diseño a la vanguardia, para impactar más visualmente.

Ya citó esto mismo gusanllum en la respuesta 24.. El nuevo Clase S va a tener esa misma estética aplicada a la gran berlina.

A lo mejor el forero que has mencionado es una voz autorizada, pero yo de momento esperaría a ver el nuevo Clase-S.
De todas formas supongo que en MB saben lo hacen con sus productos.

He mencionado a gusanllum por lo que ha citado, pero no porque sepa más que los demás (que podría ser). A lo que me refiero es a que todos hemos visto el nuevo Clase S en el tema de espías y todos hemos visto como será su nuevo frontal.

THE NEW CITAN FROM MERCEDES-BENZ: A TRULY PROFESSIONAL URBAN DELIVERY VAN

– Robust and reliable: the Citan completes the Mercedes-Benz family of vans
– Versatile choice of three lengths and three model variants
– Comprehensive safety equipment
– Characteristic Mercedes-Benz appearance
– Equipped to a high standard for ergonomics and comfort
– Safe, smooth handling as expected of the brand
– A range of economical BlueEFFICIENCY engines: with low fuel consumption

Stuttgart/Amsterdam. Powerful yet with compact dimensions making it especially suitable for city use – for the first time, the Mercedes-Benz portfolio of vans features a vehicle specifically for the urban environment. With its impressive quality and driving dynamics, exemplary safety and economy and a high level of versatility and robustness, the new Mercedes-Benz Citan is a truly professional urban van.

The Mercedes-Benz Citan will be unveiled to the public for the first time at the IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hanover in September 2012.

Choice of three lengths and three model variants

Due to its versatility and adaptability, the new Mercedes-Benz Citan fulfils a broad range of commercial applications. Based on a panel van, this urban van is available in three different lengths: Compact, Long, Extra-long.

Comprehensive safety equipment

As is the case with every Mercedes-Benz vehicle, safety plays a big role in the new Citan. The urban van comes with the Electronic Stability Program ADAPTIVE ESP® as standard, which takes the vehicle load into consideration. This innovative dynamic handling control system in the new Citan combines the functions of the anti-locking braking system ABS®, VDC® (Vehicle Dynamic Control) which counters over- and understeer, and TCS® (Traction Control System). It also includes ASR® (Acceleration Skid Control) and drive and braking torque control.

Characteristic Mercedes-Benz Appearance

The Mercedes-Benz Citan is instantly recognisable as a Mercedes-Benz thanks to the vehicle’s characteristic brand look. The Citan is the first model in the Mercedes-Benz van range to feature our new family appearance. Providing the brand signature, the chromed star is self-assuredly set against the prominent, robust radiator grille with three sporty perforated louvres. The Mercedes-Benz Citan’s bold headlamps and the pronounced V-shape to the bonnet with its clearly defined edges are equally striking.

The trapezoidal shape of the air intake in the bumper emphasises width and the powerful impression made by the Citan. Again, this feature is one of the brand’s typical style elements at the present time, from the latest Mercedes-Benz cars in the compact class through to the new Actros.

Equipped to a high standard for ergonomics and comfort

Just as distinctive, the interior of the new Mercedes-Benz Citan is equipped to a high standard. Both the driver and front passenger benefit from equally firm, comfortably padded seats. The form-fitting shape of the backrests in particular provides lateral support, thereby ensuring comfort and safety. Drawing on the brand’s typical design, the fabric cover is breathable, durable and easy to care for.

As powerful and striking as the exterior of the new Citan, the instrument panel is designed around the driver. The surface has a leather-like grain for an attractive look and feel.

Drivers of any other Mercedes-Benz will immediately feel at home in the cockpit of the new Citan and not just due to the familiar star on the steering wheel: the combination switches, gearknob, and switches on the instrument panel all meet Mercedes-Benz’s usual standards for the driver’s area in terms of layout, look and function. Trim over the glove compartment enhances the interior further.

Engines covering all requirements

The choice of engines is broad. Three high-torque, turbodiesel direct-injection engines with outputs from 75hp (55kW) to 110hp (81kW) and a nippy, supercharged petrol engine generating 115 hp (84kW) cover all standard requirements. All the diesel engines have a particulate filter as standard. Five and six-speed transmissions with a joystick gearshift positioned within easy reach on the centre console transmit power to the front wheels.

Handling as expected of the brand: safe and smooth

The developers of the Mercedes-Benz Citan have paid particular attention to ensuring that the handling is as expected of the brand, delivering a combination of driving dynamics, agility and ride comfort. The Direct-Steer system is accurate and sensitive, while the suspension, damping and stabiliser bars have been carefully attuned to each other.

Whether empty or loaded, the new Citan is a true Mercedes-Benz, offering precision, driving safety and the smooth handling that drivers are accustomed to from the Vito and Sprinter.

BlueEFFICIENCY package reduces consumption further

The petrol-engined Citan comes with a BlueEFFICIENCY package as standard, which is optional for the diesel versions. Amongst other features this includes the ECO start/stop function, battery and generator management, plus optimised low rolling resistance tyres depending on the variant which again reduce fuel consumption.

En vivo no me gusta nada de nada, al menos en ese vídeo.

a mí no me desagrada, contando que es un coche industrial, claro. pero se nota demasiado que morro y coche van cada uno por su lado, no casan para nada.

el otro día estuve en una feria de pueblo, y en el stand de mercedes había una furgoneta totalmente tapada (con pegatinas de colores enganchadas por toda la carrocería, ruedas y cristales incluidos) y un rótulo con el texto «Nueva Mercedes Citan».

Obviamente era una Kangoo 😀

4 obtuvo el Kangoo en 2008 (antigua varemación).

Nueva versión: Crewbus
Se ahce sobre la base alargada, añadiendose detrás 2 plazas mas llegando hasta las 7 totales.

Powerful models – new engine variants and numerous conversions for the Mercedes-Benz Citan

– New Citan 111 CDI: powerful, smooth, economical
– New Citan 112: lively, comfortable, cost-effective
– New extra-long Citan crewbus with up to seven seats
– Bodybuilder Centre and VanPartner – the Citan made to measure

Powerful models from Mercedes-Benz round off the range of Citan urban delivery vans. The new top-of-the-line diesel model is the Citan 111 CDI developing 81 kW (110 hp). With its petrol engine, the Citan 112 (84 kW/112 hp) is likewise new. The extra-long Citan crewbus with up to seven seats will follow in spring 2014. In cooperation with well-known bodybuilders, the Citan model range is extended further: thanks to the certification scheme VanPartner by Mercedes-Benz, tested industry-specific solutions are available.

Mercedes-Benz Citan: successfully established
One year after its launch, the urban delivery van bearing the Mercedes star has established itself well. It has now been introduced in all EU countries, Switzerland, Norway and Turkey. Russia is currently set to follow as another market. Work is underway to launch in Chile, for example, while other regions in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are also being examined. Further variants broaden the offering.

New Citan 111 CDI: powerful, smooth, economical
The new top-of-the-line diesel model is the Citan 111 CDI. The engine here develops 81 kW (110 hp) from a displacement of 1.5 litres. Maximum torque is 240 Nm, making the Citan 111 CDI equally strong on pulling power.
The Citan 111 CDI is a lively performer, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds. Its top speed of 170 km/h also makes it suitable for long distances. At the same time, it is among the most economical and environmentally friendly vehicles in its class: equipped with the optional BlueEfficiency package including the Eco start/stop function, the Citan achieves an outstanding combined fuel consumption of just 4.4 litres per 100 km. The list price for the long Citan 111 CDI panel van is €17,130 (excl. VAT).

New Citan 112: lively, comfortable, cost-effective
The new Citan 112 is particularly agile and comfortable at work. At 84 kW (112 hp), it obtains the highest output from the smallest displacement (1.2 l) in the model series. It is also one of the most cost-effective and low-emission urban delivery vans. BlueEfficiency technology and an Eco start/stop function are standard features. Combined fuel consumption is low at 6.1 litres/100 km.

With a top speed of 173 km/h and acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in just 11.7 seconds, the Citan 112 offers impressive performance. The long panel van is priced at €15,810 (excl. VAT).

Both the Citan 111 CDI and the Citan 112 are equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard. With its wide ratio spread, the transmission ensures both powerful start-off characteristics and low engine speeds at higher road speeds. This is accompanied by low driving noise and favourable fuel consumption.

New extra-long Citan crewbus with up to seven seats
As another new addition, the Citan is available as a crewbus with up to seven seats. It is based on the extra-long variant (length: 4705 mm). This crewbus is intended for commercial passenger transport, commercial transport of personnel and/or cargo, as well as mixed private and commercial use.

The new third seat row in the Citan consists of two individual seats. These are independently adjustable fore-and-aft, and can be individually folded down or removed as required.

Bodybuilder Centre and VanPartner – the Citan made to measure

Individual solutions for special requirements – conversions and custom bodies have always been important at Mercedes-Benz Vans. What is not available ex factory can be taken care of by bodybuilders. For the Citan, the conversion rate is already 16 percent.

The Bodybuilder Centre at Mercedes-Benz Vans is a partner to body and conversion specialists. It provides advice to these companies and accompanies new developments by Mercedes-Benz Vans. End-users also benefit: the publicly available information portal http://www.vanpartner.info provides an overview of more than 300 product solutions from around 90 partners – already including numerous versions for the Citan.

The companies featured on the website qualify as a VanPartner by Mercedes-Benz because they have achieved a special status: Mercedes-Benz Vans has not only approved the relevant solution, but even recommends it to end-users. Both quality and the level of sales and service are scrutinised extensively. By the end of the year, there will be VanPartners in all major European markets.

Meanwhile, there are now numerous, sometimes highly specialised conversions available for the Citan. Whether as a wheelchair taxi, mobile workshop or fresh food service, as a police vehicle or airport follow-me vehicle – with interior fittings and conversions the Citan fulfils tasks that go well beyond merely transporting passengers and goods.

Habría que ver también lo que cuesta el mantenimiento de ambos en concesionario oficial.

Mercedes-Benz Citan: even cleaner, more attractive

– The Citan is now low-emission in compliance with Euro 6
– BlueEFFICIENCY package and more torque for diesel with Euro 6
– Even more individual: practical new optional equipment
– New name: the Citan crewbus is now the Citan Tourer

Stuttgart – Thanks to a number of advancements, the Mercedes-Benz Citan urban delivery van is now even more attractive. The modifications have been made with a focus on progressing to the Euro 6 emissions standard. With new optional extras ranging from a double passenger seat and a factory-fitted navigation system to a skylight or reversing camera, the Citan is now even more practical and individual than before. All new products and features are available to order now with deliveries gradually being made from June onwards.

The Citan is now low-emission in compliance with Euro 6 without SCR technology
As from June all Mercedes-Benz Citan vehicles registered as passenger cars will comply with the Euro 6 emissions regulation as standard. Anyone buying a Citan registered as a commercial vehicle from this time will also be able to specify Euro 6 compliance as an option, more than a year before this becomes a legal obligation.

The new emissions standard has certainly made the Citan clean for the future: all variants of the Citan with diesel engine achieve Euro 6 simply through internal engine measures and a storage-type NOx catalytic converter. No complex SCR technology is necessary. This means that drivers will no longer have to worry about using AdBlue as an extra service fluid.

BlueEFFICIENCY package and more torque for diesel with Euro 6
All Citan vehicles complying with the Euro 6 emissions standard come with the BlueEFFICIENCY package as standard. Among other features, this includes an ECO start/stop function and lowers fuel consumption for the diesel models to just 4.3 litres/100 km according to NEDC. The Citan achieves this outstanding consumption figure without compromising performance.

Progressing to Euro 6 actually increases maximum torque by 20 Nm for each diesel engine, to figures ranging between 200 Nm and 260 Nm. This translates into a noticeable rise in pulling power of around ten percent. Output remains unchanged at between 55 kW (75 hp) and 81 kW (110 hp).

Even more individual: practical new optional equipment
Thanks to new optional equipment, the Citan is now even more individual. ‘Long’ models registered as passenger cars are available with a split tilting skylight above the front seats if desired. The glass is tinted and each half can be opened manually and separately in the direction of travel. Over the rear, the new integral panorama skylight ensures that the interior is flooded with light.

The Citan is made even more flexible with the new double passenger seat. Both seats have height-adjustable head restraints and three-point seat belts. If no-one is using these seats, the backrests can be folded forwards with the centre backrest then acting as a writing surface if needed. There is a stowage compartment underneath the double seat.
A new navigation system developed specially for the Citan points the way to the destination. The device has a 1-DIN form factor and is operated via a touch-sensitive 87 mm (3.5-inch) screen. As well as GPS navigation with map material for Western Europe, the equipment includes a USB port, a micro SD card slot, AUX interfaces and Bluetooth. The DAB + digital transmission standard ensures excellent radio reception.

The new optional reversing camera makes manoeuvres at low speed easier, thereby boosting safety. The camera is hidden behind the licence plate holder on the tailgate or rear door. It is activated when reverse gear is engaged. The camera image is shown on the interior mirror and automatically dimmed if the light intensity is strong. Guide lines help with judging distances. Also new is the optional anti-theft alarm system for the Citan as a panel van, Mixto vehicle or Tourer registered as a commercial vehicle. The radio remote control on the vehicle key is used to activate it.

New name: the Citan crewbus is now the Citan Tourer
As well as new technical features, the Citan crewbus has a new name: the Citan Tourer. This brings the nomenclature for the Citan in line with the new Vito.
