New Citroen Relay Vans for Sale

Find Your New Citroen Relay Van

All models of the new Citroen Relay have been designed and manufactured to enhance durability, reliability, and running costs. Prior to its market release, the Citroen Relay underwent an extensive testing program, covering over 4 million kilometres of test driving and enduring 500,000 door slams, simulating a decade of usage. In line with Euro 6 legislation, Citroen has updated and refined the engine range, focusing on more efficient driving. A notable design feature is the front bumper, crafted in three separate sections to minimise repair costs in case of minor damage. This thoughtful engineering underscores Citroen’s commitment to creating vans that are not only robust but also cost-effective in maintenance.

Citroen Relay Van Dimensions

The Relay is the largest van available in the Citroen LCV range. Being on the UK market for over 20 years, Citroen Relay’s dimensions and key measurements have been designed to cater to a wide range of commercial needs. The van comes in multiple body lengths and heights, offering maximum flexibility.

The Citroen Relay van really stands out against other models for its interior dimensions. The generous space allows an 8×4 sheet to be laid flat even in the smallest configuration. With 1.42m between wheel arches and 1.87m between partitions, it’s ideal for a variety of professional needs. A notable feature of the Relay is its nearside sliding door. This standard feature opens to at least 1,075mm in width and 1,485mm in height, comfortably accommodating a Euro pallet. 

Citroen offers a wide range of Relay van dimensions, boasting four lengths and three heights, catering to diverse requirements. Its lengths vary from 4.96m (L1) to an impressive 6.36m (L4), offering load lengths from 2.67m in the L1 to 4m in the L4. This versatility positions it as a prime choice for new van deals, especially for professionals requiring substantial space. In height, the new Citroen Relay starts at 2.25m (H1) and can extend up to 2.76m (H3), with load heights ranging from 1.66m to a class-leading 2.16m, surpassing the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit.

Cargo capacity is another of the Citroen Relay’s strengths. It starts at 8m³ in the L1 H1 model and extends up to 17m³ in the L4 H3 variant, with a payload capacity ranging from 1,115kg to nearly two tonnes at 1,900kg.. Loading is made easier with a 530mm entry height, which can be further reduced by up to 70mm with an adjustable pneumatic rear suspension, adding to its appeal as one of the best vans the UK has to offer for practical, heavy-duty use.

Citroen Relay Van Interior

As soon as you climb into the cabin of the new Citroen Relay, you’ll be met with a spacious and practical interior, very easily accessible with the aid of a built-in handy side step. The van offers an array of 13 storage spaces, including an overhead compartment, two lidded gloveboxes, cup holders, and a dedicated phone slot. The ergonomic design places the gear lever comfortably on the dashboard, to the left of the steering wheel, ensuring ease of use without the need to stretch. These features are particularly popular with those conducting long haul drives. Adjustability in the driver’s seat, with height and lumbar support, makes finding a comfortable driving position effortless, a key consideration for those looking to buy a Citroen Relay for sale.

Citroen Relay Trim Levels and Specifications 

The Citroen Relay van for sale is available in two trim levels – Standard and Enterprise. Each is specifically designed to meet different professional needs, with the Standard model offering essential functionality for everyday tasks, while the Enterprise model adds more advanced features such as air conditioning, rear parking sensors, and enhanced technology options. This ensures that there’s a Relay to suit a variety of business requirements, whether focused on practicality or seeking additional comfort and convenience for drivers.

Citroen Relay Standard 

The Citroen Relay understands the modern business needs for connectivity. Firstly, Citroen has included a Connecting Box as a standard feature. This system offers Bluetooth connectivity, allowing drivers to wirelessly connect phones to the van, facilitating safe handling of calls, a key consideration in the Citroen Relay. 

The Citroen Relay van for sale comes with the inclusion of a USB port in addition to its connectivity capabilities, although it does require a connecting wire for use. The Teletrac Navman satellite navigation system, available with the standard option is somewhat of a game changer. The system includes three years of live traffic updates, routes, and access to the Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking system, enhancing the van’s value proposition.

Safety is paramount in every Citroen Relay model, featuring Stability Control, Hill Start Assist, ABS, and Emergency Braking. The inclusion of a full steel bulkhead, extending the full height of the van even in H3 variants, offers ample fixing points in the load area. Larger new Citroen Relay models are further equipped with lane departure warning, a crucial safety feature that detects deviations from the driving line, potentially caused by driver fatigue or distractions.

Citroen Relay Enterprise 

The Citroen Relay Enterprise is the premium model of Relay vans. It comes fully equipped with a 5″ touchscreen integrated into the dashboard. This advanced feature not only displays directions from the Teletrac Navman sat nav system but also controls the DAB Radio and Bluetooth connectivity. In the cabin, comfort is paramount, especially during summer, with air conditioning allowing for a perfectly tailored temperature. This feature enhances the large van’s appeal for those looking to buy a new van that combines comfort with functionality.

For long motorway journeys, the cruise control system in the Citroen Relay van is a boon, helping to reduce driver fatigue by maintaining a constant speed, allowing the driver to focus solely on steering. This is a key consideration for business owners and employees frequently on the road, who prioritise comfort and safety. Additionally, rear parking sensors are a critical addition to this large van, assisting in judging distances to other objects while reversing. This safety feature is particularly valuable, sensors engage automatically in reverse, alerting the driver to any obstacles, further cementing the Citroen Relay’s position as a practical and safe option among new vans for sale.

New Citroen Relay Van Engines 

In 2016, the Citroen Relay van underwent a significant upgrade in its engine range, transitioning from the previous 2.2-litre powertrain to a more efficient line of 2.0-litre BlueHDi diesel engines, compliant with Euro 6 standards. This update is particularly appealing for those looking to buy a new van that offers both performance and environmental consideration. The Relay’s engine lineup includes three power outputs: 110PS, 130PS, and 160PS, each powering the front wheels and coupled with a 6-speed manual gearbox. This range of options ensures that there’s a large van suitable for various needs and preferences.

The 130PS version stands out as it is the only one equipped with Start/Stop technology, further enhancing its appeal for fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Choosing the right power output depends largely on the typical load requirements. For those regularly carrying loads near the van’s payload capacity, the 160PS version is recommended for its robust power. Conversely, for lighter loads, the 110PS and 130PS options are more than sufficient, offering a balance of efficiency and performance. This flexibility in engine choices underscores the Citroen Relay’s suitability for a wide range of professional needs.

New Citroen Relay Van Models

The new Citroen Relay is a very versatile large van, positioned as the biggest option in Citroen’s commercial vehicle lineup, above the smaller Berlingo and Dispatch models. Known for its practicality and durability, the Relay offers a range of features designed to support various business operations. Citroen is committed to making their vans accessible to all UK businesses, and at Citroen Van Sales, we share that vision too. That’s why we offer the latest Citroen Relay models, available for purchase outright or through flexible leasing options, ensuring businesses can find the perfect solution to meet their operational needs.

Citroen Relay Conversions

If a panel van isn’t right for your business, the Citroen Relay is also available as a Chassis Cab and Chassis Crew Cab designed to be adaptable to a range of specialist conversions. There are also three standard conversions available as part of the Ready To Run range including a Dropside, Tipper and Luton van.

Citroen Relay Dropside 

The Citroen Relay Dropside conversion provides a versatile and open load bed. This makes it a suitable choice for outdoor trades such as landscaping and light construction, where a mix of loads like machinery, solid boxes, or loose materials are common. The design features side and tailboards, each 400mm high, hinged along their lower edges to pivot down below deck level, facilitating easy loading. The load bed itself is crafted from a single sheet of heavy-duty birch plywood, complete with a non-slip coating for added safety and durability. This practical design is further complemented by a front bulkhead that extends to the full height of the cab, and the inclusion of load retaining rings on the aluminium perimeter rail, adding to its functionality.

There are three Citroen Relay Dropside models to choose from, based on the L2 and L3 versions of the panel van, with both single and double cab options available. The single cab variants offer load bed lengths of 3,059mm (L2) or 3,644mm (L3). In contrast, the L3 double cab option reduces the bed length to 2,805mm but accommodates three additional passengers. Payload capacities for these models range from 1,253kg to 1,441kg, providing ample carrying capability for various professional requirements. This range of options underscores the Citroen Relay Dropside’s versatility and practicality.

Citroen Relay Tipper

The Citroen Relay Tipper offers a similar load bed to the Dropside but with the significant advantage of a rear tipping mechanism. This feature makes it an indispensable tool in sectors like light construction and horticulture, where bulk load discharging is frequently required. Operated by a cab-mounted cable remote control, the tipping mechanism adds efficiency and ease to the unloading process. The load bed is equipped with a full-width steel tailboard at the rear, featuring dual sets of locks (top and bottom) that allow it to swing open, facilitating the effortless unloading of materials.

In terms of options, the Citroen Relay Tipper conversion is available in two versions: the L2 single cab and the L3 crew cab. The single cab model features a 2,870mm long load bed and supports a payload of up to 1,222kg, making it a practical choice for those considering a new Citroen Relay van for sale. The crew cab version, while offering a smaller load bed due to the L3 configuration, still provides ample space at 2,670mm in length and a payload capacity of 1,033kg. Every Relay Tipper is outfitted with a full-height bulkhead, serving three key functions. It includes three load lashing rails with high-capacity securing eyes for transporting equipment or solid loads. An embossed steel panel protects the cab from shifting loads, ensuring safety. Additionally, it offers rear visibility for the driver, an important safety feature.

Citroen Relay Luton Van

The Citroen Relay Luton van conversion has a significant upgrade in storage compared to the standard panel van. Utilising space above the cab, the Luton conversion offers an enclosed load area, unlike the open designs of the Dropside and Tipper conversions. This conversion features a rectangular birch plywood load floor, known for its durability and lightweight properties. The absence of intruding wheel arches allows for higher volume capacities, making it ideal for palletised loads or transporting bulky freight. Luton vans are particularly favoured by removal companies and delivery services that handle large and heavy items, such as household appliances.

Access to the load area in this new Citroen Relay van is provided through a lightweight alloy roller shutter door, equipped with a locking handle for security, instead of traditional doors. Internally, the van is fitted with load locking strips and tie rails, the latter positioned higher up the body sides to offer a range of flexible loading options. 

Customers have two Relay Luton van conversion models to choose from: the L3 and L4. The L3 model offers a load area measuring 3,480mm in length and 2,235mm in height, yielding a total volume of 16m³ and a payload capacity of 1,147kg. For those needing even more space, the L4 model boasts a payload capacity of 979kg and accommodates items up to 4,150mm in length and 2,390mm in height, with an impressive load volume of 20m³.
