Mercedes released details and photos on a new version of the current Citan small van, the extra-long wheelbase to be more precise.
Thanks to the extra length (4,705 mm in total), the German model is able to transport up to seven people and provide a luggage space of 300 – 400 liters. Fold the second row of seats and you will get a total of 3500 liters.

Under the hood sits a 1.5-liter unit producing 90 horses and 200 Nm of torque. A more potent version of the same unit, developing 110 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque, is on the list as well.
