The Citan is available in three different lengths: compact (3.94m), long (4.32m) and extra-long (4.71m). The vehicle comes in three bodystyles:Panel Van,Dualiner andTraveliner, with the Panel Van seating up to two people and both the Dualiner and Traveliner seating up to five.
The Citan Traveliner received four passenger stars in theEuro NCAP safety tests.[2] The Mercedes-Benz CITAN Kombi was first tested by Euro NCAP in April 2013, and was given a three star rating. Mercedes-Benz indicated at that time that they would improve the safety performance of the vehicle, especially the deployment of the side airbag and the installation of child restraints; and that they would provide a seatbelt reminder for the front passenger seat and make the speed limitation device comply with Euro NCAP's requirements. These changes are now in production andEuro NCAP has reassessed the vehicle. Several tests have been redone to assess the changes that Mercedes-Benz have made. Where the performance is not influenced by the changes, test results have been carried over from the original assessment.[3]
In March 2024, the Citan van was awarded a Platinum rating from Euro NCAP due to its high level of active safety systems.[4]

The series of short films, titledMacGyver and the New Citan, is available on the official Citan website, from 18 September.[5][6] The episodes were shot inJohannesburg, South Africa, in July 2012.

The Mercedes-BenzeCitan is a battery-electric variant of the Citan LCV, announced in October 2021 alongside the regular Citan, with availability beginning the second half of 2022. The eCitan has an electric traction motor driving the front wheels, developing 90 kW (120 hp) and 245 N⋅m (181 lbf⋅ft), drawing from an eight-module lithium-ion battery carried under the floor forward of the rear axle with 44 kW-hr of usable capacity. The estimated range is 285 km (177 mi) under theWLTP combined driving cycle. The standard on-board charger has a capacity of 11 kW (AC), but as an option, a 22 kW (AC) / 75 kW (DC) charger can be ordered, which gives the vehicle aCCS Combo 2 port.[19]
The Mercedes-BenzEQT is a battery-electric variant of the T-Class MPV, first shown as a concept atIAA 2021.[20]
The production EQT was unveiled in December 2022, equipped with a drivetrain identical to that of the contemporaryKangoo E-Tech.[21] This includes a 45 kW h battery that feeds an electric traction motor which develops 90 kW (122 PS; 121 hp) and 245 N⋅m (181 lbf⋅ft) of torque, giving it an estimated range of 282 km (175 mi). It was introduced initially in the short-wheelbase version.[22]
