The next-generation Mercedes Benz Citan has been tested on public roads a few times. The Daimler-owned brand confirmed that the model would be , which was developed in collaboration with Renault. The MPV is not the only new small van that the company has revealed. The T-Class.
The T-Class will not be just a passenger version, but it will also be more than a Citan. It will “be tailored to the needs of families while also being a suitable companion to active leisure enthusiasts.” In other words, the T-Class is expected to be a smaller, lifestyle-oriented van for private customers in the same vein of the Peugeot Rifter. It will go on sale in the first half 2022.

Mercedes confirmed that the T-Class will come in both ICE-powered versions and all-electric versions. The interior will be accessible via two sliding doors. One on each side.
