FactThis Citan is really a rebadged third-generation Renault Kangoo on the shared CMF-CD platform — the same underpinnings Mercedes also stretched into its own T-Class MPV.
The second-generation Citan was introduced in August 2021 in Panel Van and Tourer variants. Based on the third-generation Renault Kangoo, the Citan (W420) rides on the CMF-CD platform, which was also developed into the T-Class MPV, replacing the existing Citan Traveliner and Citan Tourer, and it is also sold as the Nissan Townstar. It is assembled in Maubeuge, France, and in April 2025 Mercedes-Benz executives announced the discontinuation of the Citan, T-Class, eCitan and EQT in 2026.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

To launch its smallest van ever, Mercedes didn't hire a model — it hired MacGyver. Richard Dean Anderson reprised the role for a 2012 ad campaign shot in Johannesburg.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
