Mercedes campaigns in the compact part of the EV van market with this eCitan. Jonathan Crouch drives it.

Ten Second Review
The eCitan is the most class-competitive Mercedes EV van yet, thanks to borrowed Renault mechanicals, which it clothes with slightly smarter packaging. We've waited a long time for a small battery-powered Mercedes LCV. Can this one live up to expectations?

Background
One of the unexplained mysteries in the van industry is why Mercedes never offered a full-electric version of its first generation small LCV, the Citan, sold between 2013 and 2022. That Citan was, after all, based almost entirely on the Renault Kangoo, the first small van in the industry to adapt adopt full-electric power back in 2011. Fast forward to 2023 and the very different market landscape means that there is absolutely no chance of Mercedes ignoring full-battery tech for its second generation Citan. Indeed, this MK2 model, which still sells mainly as a diesel, will be the last new Mercedes van to offer a combustion engine.

This second generation design also shares Kangoo mechanicals in both its forms, making it also basically the same proposition as a Nissan Townstar. Which means in the case of the eCitan EV model we look at here a 44kWh battery with very competitive range and charging stats. Let's take a closer look.
