Jointly developed with Fiat and Peugeot, the Citroen Relay is a very good large van, which explains why it is one of the few serious threats to the Ford Transit’s superiority in this corner of the market.

As with its other van models, Citroen offers the Relay with SmartNav satellite navigation from Trafficmaster as standard in all models. This helps separate the Relay from its Fiat and Peugeot cousins and is a good selling point. Citroen also offers an Enterprise model with parking sensors, air conditioning and Bluetooth hands-free phone connection.

The Relay comes with a choice of four body lengths, three roof heights and a spread of 110PS, 130PS and 150PS 2.2-litre turbodiesel engines and a 3.0-litre turbodiesel with 180PS. All of these engines meet Euro 5 emissions standards and are among the cleanest in their class.

Relay drivers enjoy one of the best vans in the class to be behind the wheel of, both for comfort and the driving experience. This is underscored by the Relay’s fine ride and handling in all conditions.
