Mercedes Citan with MacGyver

MacGyver is back with Mercedes Citan. MacGyver is the legendary TV series character from 1990s. He was capable of making a space shuttle only with duck and toilet paper. MacGyver is the icon of problem solution, targeting to goal, dealing with problems in such way that cannot be understood even by him.
On 18 September, Mercedes will released three web episodes. I am sure that Macgyver is going to carry a space shuttle with Mercedes Citan, then drive 1000 km with 1 litre of diesel, and I am expecting to see more. We all missed MacGyver.
Next time, please use Jack Bauer from 24 :)

Mercedes Citan

Mercedes finally introduced its new small van segment vehicle, Citan. Unlike other van vehicles, Mercedes treated the Citan like a passenger vehicle. PR materials, photos and event were like a new passenger vehicle is going to be introduced. The reason for this, Mercedes assumes that this segment is really fast growing and planning to capture %4 or %5 with Citan.
From the photos, I can say that it promises futures and offers the safety gadgets that can be found in their passenger vehicles. However, the critical point is the price! If Mercedes will offer a competitive price, I sure about its future. On the other hand, Mercedes always succeed in van segment with other vehicles, so I won’t be surprised when they achieve the same with this.
Engine options are two diesel (75 PS and 110 PS) and one petrol (114 PS). Adaptive ESP, Direct Steering, ECO Start/Stop, and more are available. These are all from the Mercedes press material, I will update as more information is revealed.
By the way, the front reminds me the upcoming new A-Class!
