Detailed analysis of the Mercedes-Benz Citan Tourer Pure 109 CDI · 95 CV (2020)
General description
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz Citan Tourer Pure 109 CDI is an interesting proposition for those seeking a versatile and functional vehicle. With its 95 hp diesel engine, it offers a balance between efficiency and load capacity, ideal for daily use or small businesses. Its design, though practical, does not forgo the brand's essence, seeking a touch of distinction in the light commercial vehicle segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Citan, the feeling is one of solidity and control. The electric, speed-sensitive power steering facilitates maneuvers in the city, while the suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, absorbs road irregularities well, providing a comfortable ride. The diesel engine, with its 95 hp and 230 Nm of torque, responds sufficiently, especially at low revolutions, which is appreciated in urban traffic and on the road. The combined consumption of 5.5 l/100km is a plus for economy.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Citan Tourer Pure is eminently functional, but Mercedes-Benz has managed to give it its own character. The lines are clean and robust, with a front grille that evokes the brand's identity. Its compact dimensions (4321 mm long, 1829 mm wide, and 1809 mm high) make it agile in urban environments, while its four doors and five seats, along with a 685-liter trunk, make it a very practical vehicle. The 195/65 R15 tires and 6 x 15-inch wheels complement its aesthetics.
Technology and features
Although the 2013 Citan does not incorporate the latest technological innovations of current models, it features elements that improve the driving experience. The common rail direct injection diesel engine, turbo and intercooler, along with the Stop/Start system, optimizes consumption and reduces emissions. The 6-speed manual transmission allows precise control of power. In terms of safety, it has ventilated disc brakes at the front and disc brakes at the rear, as well as stabilizers on both axles for greater stability.
Competition
In the light commercial vehicle and compact minivan segment, the Mercedes-Benz Citan Tourer Pure 109 CDI competes with models such as the Renault Kangoo (with which it shares a platform), the Citroën Berlingo, the Peugeot Partner, the Volkswagen Caddy, and the Fiat Doblò. Each of them offers its own advantages in terms of space, equipment, and price, but the Citan stands out for the prestige of the Mercedes-Benz brand and a focus on material quality and ride comfort.
Conclusion
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz Citan Tourer Pure 109 CDI is a highly recommended option for those looking for a practical, spacious, and efficient vehicle, backed by a premium brand. Its balance between functionality, comfort, and economy of use makes it an ideal companion for both work and family leisure. It is a car that, without great fanfare, more than fulfills its purpose and offers a pleasant and safe driving experience.
