New Mercedes-Benz T-Class announced, small, family-focused MPV

Mercedes-Benz’s small van market may not be familiar to us as they are in Europe. Take for example the Citan, a small commercial van that is essentially a rebadged Renault Kangoo. 

That could change though as the carmaker has announced the all-new 2022 T-Class, a lifestyle variants of the Citan workhorse.

Think of the T-Class as a Citan that’s more attuned to private customers. As such, it will offer a large amount of space through wide-opening sliding doors on both sides - this time with windows!

The press release also states that this upcoming MPV is created with ‘Sensual Purity, design, value, safety and connectivity’ in mind, so expect family-friendly features such as active safety and MBUX to be present.

The T-Class is bound to hit markets in 2022 and will be sold alongside the Citan. Both models will be jointly developed in the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, and both will also feature fully-electric powertrains.
