NVS Verdict:  

Built for volume with the bonus of being able to load from all angles with a fork lift truck so loading heavy goods is now a breeze.

Citroen Relay LWB 2.0 Blue HDi 130 Diesel

Curtainside

What is it?

Citroens biggest curtainside in the 3.5 tonne sector and a very good one too. Based on the LWB chassis the body is constructed from GRP (glass reinforced plastic) which proves to be very light and very strong and heavy duty curtains. They come with  either a rear roller door or solid rear barn doors. Ideal for bulky loads.

What’s hot

• 4 meter load length
• Very competent 2.0 diesel engine producing 130 ps with 6 speed gearbox for added economy
• Remote control central locking
• Electric windows and mirrors
• Cab design is well thought out
• Comfortable to drive even for a large van
• 24 000 mile 2 year servicing plan
• 3 year 100 000 mile warranty OR 24 months UNLIMITED MILEAGE
• Drivers airbag
• ABS
• Huge wing mirrors to ease reversing and parking.

What’s not

• Handbrake positioned on the right of the drivers seat can take some getting used to.
• The dash mounted gear stick can sometimes be a bit notchy
• The indicators are mounted on the wing mirrors which is good to be seen by others, however it means they are the first thing that gets hit by careless drivers.
