Choose the Relay if...
The Relay covers the same broad range of lengths, heights and GVWs as its Boxer sibling, and is chosen by UK fleets on similar terms: load volume and conversion flexibility over brand cachet.
Ranges are as published on Citroen's UK model page and are not broken down there by individual L/H/GVW combination; treat the figures as the spread across the range rather than a single variant.
Full specifications →Choose the TGE if...
The TGE offers the same body shell and volume options as the Crafter it shares a factory with, but adds a 5.5t rear-wheel-drive derivative not available on the VW, aimed at fleets wanting a heavier payload without a 7.5t truck.
Figures cover front-wheel-drive 3.5t derivatives across Standard, Long and Extra Long wheelbases and roof heights, plus all-wheel-drive 3.5t and rear-wheel-drive 5.0-5.5t derivatives; the 5.0t+ derivatives require a category C1 licence.
