A distinctive tail end styled in detail

Also emphasising width, the angular lower edge of the rear window mirrors the line of the vertically mounted tail lights the detail of the new Citan reflecting the expert hand of Mercedes-Benz designers On variants with rear end doors the numberplate is affixed on the wider left-hand side of the asymmetric doors When buyers order their Mercedes-Benz Citan with a tailgate the numberplate is positioned centrally
