Besides introducing the Mercedes-Benz Citan, the German automaker is also planning to unveil a new small van named, the T-Class. It has just been confirmed by the company through a teaser image.
The new Mercedes T-Class is “tailored to the needs of families whilst also being a suitable companion for active leisure enthusiasts.” In other words, it is a lifestyle-focused small van in a similar breed as the Peugeot Rifter. The company has plans to introduce it in the mid of 2022.
Talking about the theory behind the introduction of the TClass, Marcus Breitschwerdt, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans said, “With the new Mercedes-Benz T-Class, we will offer a vehicle which makes it possible for families and those with active pastimes to step into the Mercedes-Benz world. These customers seek attractive and practical compact vehicles – and it is precisely these demands which the new T-Class fulfills.”
The first iteration of the Citan didn’t do well in the market because most people believed it is a rebranded Renault model. Mercedes looks to change this perception by offering a van that is “clearly discernible at first glance as a member of the Mercedes-Benz family.” In other words, they want to make it luxurious and advanced using high-quality and state-of-the-art systems.
The automaker has also verified the accessibility of the T-Class in both ICE-powered and all-electric models.
