Citroen Relay Luton Review

Citroen Relay Luton At A Glance

With Luton vans seen by many as a tradesperson’s best friend, there are plenty of manufacturers clamouring to design the perfect vehicle. Though not without flaws, the Citroen Relay Luton is a box van certainly worth shouting about. Benefitting from Citroen’s trademark comfort, yet retaining the workmanlike convenience of a Luton design, a generously sized storage compartment ideal for palletised loads is perhaps the defining feature of this desirable model.

Technically impressive and road-ready for longer distance journeys, the 2.2 litre diesel engine ensures plenty of uphill power, with a smooth manual transmission. This larger van is even available in electric variants and tail lift-equipped designs, with numerous options for a personalised drive. Though not as cheap as some competitors, the Citroen Relay Luton is one of the most complete box vans available today.

We very much recommend this model for professionals who transport goods and specialise in deliveries, though it may not be as suitable as some smaller vans for navigating busy cities and roads. Read ahead to discover some more details on the technical specifications, performance information and additional features provided by this 21st Century Luton option.

Engines and Spec

The aforementioned 2.2 litre diesel engine is fantastic for a van of this size, providing the desired power to transport a maximum payload spanning 979kg to 1147kg. With the nifty extended overhead storage area you would expect from a Luton, additional room for items are provided within a rear cab boasting an internal width of 2057mm and height of 2390mm as standard. The longer L4 model provides a high-volume body, offering up to 20m³ of additional load space. Long gone are the days of cramming items into the back of a van, with this adaptable vehicle simplifying the transport of goods. With internal load locks and tie rails along the side panels of the load space, you can secure valuables with ease.

Though the Citroen Relay Luton is reasonably priced considering an array of features and desirable additions, Van Sales UK offer used vans and lease options for varied financial needs, so be sure to check for updated finance deals and don’t miss out on the Citroen Relay Luton! Acquiring this van as a mobile office or to complete local client jobs couldn’t be easier, with access to the load area through a lightweight alloy roller shutter door, complete with locking handle at the rear. Technically, this van rivals some of the very best.

Interior

Citroen’s recognisable designs are famed for their quirky nature, although the interior of this tradesperson van favours practicality and a relaxing driver experience. Pragmatic in detail, there are plenty of features to toggle and creature comforts to utilise, with  air conditioning capabilities and front electric windows just the tip of the iceberg.  Twin lens door mirrors contain an electrically adjustable and heated upper mirror, while a reach adjustable steering wheel and driver’s seat with height, rake and reach adjustment ensure maximum comfort for those long and laborious drives.

On the tech side of things, a 12v socket in the cabin ensures your gadgets can be charged on-the-go, with corresponding mobile phone storage in the centre of the lower dashboard for easy placement. Steering wheel mounted controls can even be used to programme the DAB radio and connected device. Of course, Nissan’s fantastic features aren’t all for driver and passenger leisure, with plenty of safety functions included.  ABS braking and cruise control with a programmable speed limiter make handling a breeze, and remote central locking, driver airbags and a perimetric alarm system all contribute to making this vehicle a brilliant all-rounder.

Storage & Payload

A choice of body lengths and heights allow the prospective driver to decide, and optional chassis cab lengths with varied payload capacities ensure a highly personalised selection. When you acquire this innovative Citroen Relay van from Van Sales UK, take advantage of free nationwide delivery.
