The Citroen e-Relay is a large electric van that's practical, efficient, and ready to work for you.
It could be the perfect solution to your business needs. Check out our review to find out why.
The Citroen e-Relay offers two battery options: 37kWh or 75kWh. The smaller 37kWh battery provides a range of up to 73 miles (WLTP), making it ideal for businesses primarily taking shorter trips. The larger 75kWh battery extends the range up to 154 miles (WLTP). This may be a more practical option for most; however, it depends on your specific needs.
No matter which option you choose, load space practicality remains the same. This is due to the clever positioning of the battery under the floor. This ensures businesses can enjoy an efficient electric drive without sacrificing cargo space.
The cabin of the e-Relay is clean and functional. Comfort has been prioritised through an ergonomic layout. Everything is conveniently within reach, and ample legroom enhances the feeling of spaciousness.
Utilising hardwearing and durable materials, the e-Relay proves ideal for daily use. Additionally, numerous storage options facilitate the secure stowage of personal items.
The Citroen e-Relay panel van comes in three lengths and one height. It offers generous amounts of space for tools, materials, and equipment. The dimensions are listed below.
| Citroen e-Relay | L2 H2 | L3 H2 | L4 H2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum load length | 3,210mm | 3,705mm | 4,070mm |
| Maximum load height | 1,932mm | 1,932mm | 1,932mm |
| Maximum load width | 1,870mm | 1,870mm | 1,870mm |

The cost varies based on the finance option you choose. At Vansdirect, we’re committed to helping you discover a great deal on your next van.
For your convenience, the e-Relay features a 7-inch colour touchscreen infotainment display. This includes satellite navigation, smartphone mirroring, DAB radio, and Bluetooth connectivity. A smart display screen on the rear-view mirror shows your battery level and remaining range at a glance. The steering wheel has numerous buttons, allowing you to control functions without diverting your eyes from the road.
You can add a ‘Drive Assist Pack’ to your e-Relay if you would like advanced driver assistance features included. These incorporate Speed-Limit Recognition, Collision Alert, and a Lane-Departure Warning system.
The Citroen e-Relay has the potential to save you on your daily operational costs compared to a petrol or diesel van.
Charging the e-Relay through a 7kW home wall box is likely to be more cost-effective than refuelling.
Servicing costs are expected to be lower too. Due to its electric nature, the e-Relay has fewer moving parts than a conventionally powered van, resulting in less wear and tear on systems. Reduced maintenance also translates to fewer periods of downtime. If you wish to include a service and maintenance package with your van lease, we offer a variety of options.
You will also be exempt from Low and Zero Emission Zone charges in the e-Relay, which is another handy cost saving feature.
The van comes with a three-year/100,000-mile warranty. However, the battery gets an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty too.
Fully charging the e-Relay at home or at work with a 7kW wall box will take around six hours for the 37kWh battery and 12 hours for the 75kWh version. Simply plug it in overnight and wake up to a fully charged van that’s ready to get to work.
If you need to top up your charge during the workday, the van is compatible with 50kW DC rapid charging. This will boost the battery from 0 to 80% in an hour, making it ideal for your breaks or when catching up on any admin work.
Check the main advantages and disadvantages of the Citroen e-Relay listed below, against your business needs.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| The 154-mile range (WLTP) is great for a large van. | Acceleration isn’t as speedy as some other electric alternatives. |

| There are a variety of body styles and sizes available for ultimate versatility. | The cabin may feel quite basic compared to alternatives. |
| Choice of two battery options to suit individual requirements. | May be difficult to park in some public charging bays due to the vehicle’s size. |
