Citroen Relay Panel Van Commercial...
The latest generation Citroen Relay first appeared in UK showrooms late in 2006 and as before it's the result of a long-standing joint development deal between PSA Peugeot Citroen and Fiat.
Citroen Relay - and its close cousin the Peugeot Expert - is available with a choice of three Euro 4-compliant common rail HDi four-cylinder diesel engines.
Citroen Relay buyers can opt for a 2.2-litre at either 100 bhp or 120 bhp, or there's a 3-litre rated at a very handy 160 bhp. Peak torque figures for the trio are 184 Ib/ft, 236 Ib/ft and 295 Ib/ft respectively. It's interesting to note that all three are capable of running on 30 per cent biodiesel without any ill effects; if you can find any.
The Citroen Relay 2.2s provide ample performance and will undoubtedly be the big sellers, but the superb 3-litre might be the option for heavy duty operators or the blue light services.
All the engines are refined and smooth-running and all models come with disc brakes all-round and ABS, although adaptive ESP is resigned to the options list.
Available at gross vehicle weights of 3.0, 3.3, 3.5 and 4.0 tonne, the Citroen Relay can offer load capacities from 8.0m³ all the way up to 17.0m³; the old model peaked at 14.0m³. This is thanks to a choice of three wheelbases and roof heights and four body lengths. Gross payloads range from 1,100kg to just under 2,000kg.
The all-new Citroen Relay cab is a giant leap forwards compared to that of the previous models. There's an amazing amount of storage space, including two large glove boxes, one of which is lockable. We would heartily recommend fitting a full bulkhead, however, as there's a great deal of in-cab noise without one.
A first in the UK van market, Citroen has decided to fit Trafficmaster's Smartnav sat nav system as standard, if you want it or not.
The new Citroen Relay is a significant step forwards and will undoubtedly do well.
