Mercedes-Benz is expanding its product portfolio in the Small Vans segment – for both private and commercial customers. The Mercedes-Benz EQT and eCitan Tourer are now available with a long wheelbase and thus optionally with up to seven seats.
The new Citan Mixto and its electrically powered twin, the eCitan Mixto, which are based on the long version of the Citan and eCitan Panel Van, respectively, offer even more flexibility for commercial use. Both models are also available to order now.
In addition, the entire Mercedes-Benz Small Vans portfolio is being upgraded: all vehicles are equipped with the latest generation of the intuitively operated MBUX multimedia system with an enlarged 24.13 centimetre (9.5 inch) screen. Moreover, all Mercedes-Benz Small Vans now also have a new steering wheel with touch control panels. The safety and assistance systems have also been expanded.
The new long-wheelbase versions of the Mercedes-‑Benz EQT and the eCitan Tourer combine electric mobility with even more generous space by extending the wheelbase by 38 centimetres compared to the standard length. This makes them the perfect introduction to the world of all-electric vehicles with the three-pointed star for families, people with active lifestyles and tradespeople.
The long versions of the EQT and the eCitan Tourer allow even more variable use of the interior compared to the standard length. A new feature of both models is the option of a third row of seats with two individual seats, allowing up to seven people to be accommodated. The second and third rows of seats are equipped with individually adjustable and folding individual seats and height-adjustable head restraints. Thanks to their light weight, the seats can be removed to allow flexible use of the interior.
To ensure the safety of the youngest passengers on board, child seat attachments in accordance with the i-Size standard with ISOFIX anchorages and Top Tether are installed on the outer seats of the second and third seat rows, as well as on the front passenger seat. This means that the seven-seaters have a total of six spaces for child seats, five of which are to i-Size standard.
In the long version of the EQT and eCitan Tourer, the maximum luggage capacity has increased compared to the standard length and is up to 3,660 litres with the rear seats removed. The sliding doors, widened to 83 centimetres on both sides, facilitate access to the second and third rows of seats and underline the practicality of the long-wheelbase versions for a wide range of applications.
The product portfolio in the commercial Small Vans segment is also expanded by the Mercedes-Benz Citan Mixto and eCitan Mixto. Both versions offer even more flexible interior design and a wide range of possible uses. The bench seat in the second row is equipped with the innovative FOLD & LOAD function. When the rear bench is in the sitting position, it offers space for up to three people, while the partition grille separates passengers from the load. In the upright position, the bench seat transforms into a flexible partition between the driver’s compartment and the load compartment. This increases the load capacity to 3,200 litres (3.2 cubic metres).
All all-electric Small Van models have an electric motor that delivers a peak output of 90 kW and a maximum torque of 245 newton metres. At work, at home or at public charging stations, they can be charged with alternating current (AC) via the onboard charger with 11 kW or optionally 22 kW (standard for EQT). Thanks to the fast-charging capability with an 80 kW DC charger, 10 to 80 percent SoC (State of Charge) is possible in just 38 minutes. The respective charging time for a full charge depends on the available infrastructure and the vehicle equipment. The Small Vans are equipped with a CCS charging socket and a CCS charging cable as standard. The charging socket is conveniently positioned under the Mercedes star in the radiator grille. The lithium-ion battery with a usable capacity of 45 kWh is installed in the underbody to save space.
With the new Mercedes-Benz EQT and the eCitan with long wheelbase, as well as the Citan Mixto and eCitan Mixto, the Mercedes-Benz Small Vans portfolio is now complete. Customers from the private or commercial sector will find the right Small Van for every application and requirement – both with conventional and electric drive. In conjunction with the upgraded standard equipment, customers now benefit from a wide range of products at attractive vehicle prices.
