The light commercial vehicle segment in Europe has been expanding rapidly in the last few years. Many mainstream brands, including Renault, Ford, Volkswagen, Peugeot, and Citroen, now have interesting compact vehicles that can be used by both the business and families with active lifestyles, depending on the trim level. This segment is now joined by a premium model coming from Stuttgart.
The new Mercedes-Benz T-Class debuts based on the bones of the all-new Renault Kangoo, which made its debut in November 2020. The French company unveiled two families of LCVs at the time – the new Kangoo, based on a new platform, and the new Express, basically a refreshed and modernized version of the Dacia Dokker, which is no longer available in Europe. The T-Class, in turn, follows the debut of the new Citan from last summer.
