Mercedes-Benz: T-Class will also come later as an electric version - as EQT

Mercedes-Benz has introduced the passenger car variant of the commercially oriented small van Citan and Citan Tourer, which aims to fill the gap in the portfolio for a more comfortably equipped family multi-purpose vehicle. It will also be available at a later date as a fully electric variant under the EQT label. At launch, the small van, developed in collaboration with Renault and based on the Kangoo, offers two turbo petrol engines with 1.3-liter displacement (102/131 hp) and two 1.5-liter turbo diesel engines (95/116 hp), identical to the engine range of the French counterpart. The fuel consumption of the up to seven-seater vans is around 6.6 l/100 km for the gasoline engines, which meet Euro6D standards thanks to particulate filters, while the SCR and DPF-cleaned Euro6D diesel consumes 5.5 l/100 km. By the end of the year, the brand plans to introduce an electric variant modeled after the already presented EQT concept, which is based on the eCitan and Kangoo E-Tech package. It will feature a 90 kW synchronous electric motor, a 75 kW DC charger or 11 kW AC charger, and a 44 kWh (usable) battery, offering up to 285 kilometers of range.

Unlike the commercially focused Citan, the T-Class comes standard with the higher-quality MBUX infotainment system with a 7" touchscreen. Additionally, the T-Class includes smartphone integration, a multifunction steering wheel with Touch Control Buttons, air conditioning, keyless start, a combined instrument cluster with a 5.5-inch color display, height-adjustable driver's seat, a closed glove compartment, a luggage compartment cover, and pockets on the backs of the front seats. Interior lighting in LED technology is also included, and depending on the equipment, ambient lighting with up to eight colors (Lines Style and Progressive).
