The potent engine line up

The engines got a major upgrade when they were downsized from 2.2-litre to 2.0-liter BlueHDi engines. The basic reason was to make the emissions according to the Euro6 standards. But for 2019 these were again revised to make it compliant to revised Euro 6.2 standard; which is a wise decision from the company. These engines are 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engines with three variants. The least powerful is a 118 bhp form but still, it has a 300 Nm of torque to compensate for the lesser figure. The next one is a 138 bhp unit with 340 Nm torque. The range-topper is a 163 bhp having 370 Nm torque. All these three engines have paired with them a six-speed manual gearbox. Apart from these three, the brand announced an all-electric version also whose figures are yet to come out as it is expected by the end of 2019. For engine replacement the dealers who sell proper and reliable products there is Citroen supply and fitting service so the customer time does not get wasted. You can get the engine as well as get it fitted at one place.

Features available

Most important for a work vehicle are its doors and brakes. Citroen Relay has been improved in these necessary areas. This also enhances the durability of the van which means no more work can be extracted from it. The cabin has also been updated adding more technology to make it user-friendly. Features like satellite navigation, a reversing camera, automatic wipers, lane departure warning and tire pressure sensors are all available now. The reversing camera has two blue lines which indicate a safe zone to reverse the van. If you can pay a little more than the trim next to the base level has some more features added. These include air conditioning, cruise control with speed limiter, touch screen audio pack, a multipurpose steering wheel and rear parking sensors. If the little touch screen is added a little car-like feel can be attained.

Reliability and safety

The Citroen Relay Van is built with more durable parts that will certainly add points to its reliability side. But even before this upgrade, the van did not have any issues regarding this area as people who own it have really good reactions towards having it. Then there is the safety side which is aided by a very helpful driver’s assistance tools list. Stability control, hill-start assist, ABS and emergency brakes all come as standard in Relay. The upper trims also have lane departure warning as standard. There is also a driver’s airbag which is standard throughout the range. The brakes have also improved which means to avoid accidents this feature will play an important role and increase safety. The new parts installed have been vigorously checked and rechecked so that only the best reach the market.
