The Citroen Relay and Citroen e-Relay is a Large Van available in six different length and height combinations – L2/H1, L2/H2, L3/H2, L3/H3, L4/H2, L4/H3.
The Citroen Relay comes in a wide range of body sizes, making it easy to choose the right van for your cargo needs. With multiple lengths and heights available, it provides excellent flexibility for different types of loads.
The smallest L2 model offers a 3120mm load length and 1662mm load height, giving 10m3 of capacity. At the other end of the scale, the largest L4/H3 version extends to 4070mm in length, 2172mm in height, and an impressive 17m3 of total load volume.
The Citroen Relay is also notable for having identical wheelbase lengths for the L3 and L4 models despite having different total external lengths and internal load lengths.
Load space is competitive for the class, offering 5.3 cubic metres in L1 and 6.1 cubic metres in L2. A load-through bulkhead hatch with a foldable front seat further improves practicality, extending the floor length into the passenger footwell.
The Citroen Relay is also offered in different body types, including Window Van, Chassis Cab, Chassis Crew Cab, Floor Cab, Dropside, Dropside Crew Van and Tipper.

The payload capacity of the Citroen Relay depends on which size is chosen
The largest model in the range - the L4 - can carry up to 2030kg using the more powerful 178bhp (180) designation of the 2.2-litre turbodiesel. The 140 turbodiesel - which is offered in L2, L3 and L4 lengths - has a payload capacity that ranges from 1235kg to 1500kg.
In electric trim, the Citroen e-Relay offers a payload capacity of between 710kg and 1460kg depending on which length you choose.

Using the electric powertrain, the Citroen e-Relay has a maximum braked towing capacity of 2400kg.
