Design and functionality of the Citaro perfectly matched

The hallmark features of the Citaro model family give them an unmistakable appearance. From the front end with its characteristic A-zero pillars to the three-dimensional styling of the back end with its V-shaped rear window, the Citaro has a highly distinctive design. It is also remarkable for its excellent functionality, with smooth, rounded exterior surfaces that are easy to clean and sidewalls made from lightweight aluminium, divided into segments to keep repair costs low and minimise downtimes. Apart from the front-end flap, the corner sections including the headlamp housings fold open too – making the entire front end easily accessible for maintenance work. All other maintenance points on the Citaro are easily accessible too.

The passenger compartment has revolutionised regular-service bus interiors

When passengers step aboard the low-floor bus, they are greeted by the lettering of the Mercedes-Benz brand. With its side-mounted cantilever seating and curving grab rails, the passenger compartment of the Citaro has revolutionised the interior of all urban buses, providing a role model for the entire vehicle segment. Form and function are in perfect harmony.
