Mercedes-Benz has flagged mid-May for the arrival here of its new, second-generation, entry-level van, Citan.
With first deliveries expected next month, the arrival of Citan will mark the entry by Mercedes-Benz in Ireland into the highly-competitive small van market segment.
Stylish in design with a comfortable interior, Citan is expected to attract strong interest from SMEs, urban delivery users, small trades, and services markets.
Alongside its large-capacity Sprinter and medium-size Vito series, the Citan will create for Mercedes-Benz "a strong premium product offering at all points in the panel van market", according to its commercial vehicles sales manager Fergus Conheady.
He says: “With its compact exterior and impressively-spacious interior, Citan is expected to achieve sales in significant numbers supported by a dedicated and ambitious dealer network."
