The Essen Motor Show is currently hosting van specialist Vansports and its two Mercedes-Benz Citan vans outfitted for urban and cross-country driving.
The first customization option is called UrbanSportster and includes a 30mm (1.2-inch) lowering spring kit, 19-inch dual-five-spoke wheels finished in black with polished spoke faces, a front spoiler and rocker panels. Inside, a squared-off steering wheel clad in leather and artificial suede is the main highlight, but there are also protective applications on the door sills and the trunk floor.
Since the Citan cannot be considered a full-blown off-roader, the Georide should be regarded as a package for occasional mild off-roading, according to the manufacturer. It includes a 30mm lift kit, Krona 1 wheels sized 18 inches across, General Grabber AT3 tires and a rugged boy kit. The interior is more or less the same as above.
Customers in Germany can pre-order the parts now. Vansports says all Citan modifications are supported, including the panel van and the Tourer.
