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 Movano if...
The Movano mirrors the Renault Master's engineering and payload spread, and its Heavy derivatives at 4.25t GVW give UK fleets a way to boost payload past 2 tonnes without a driver needing a C1 licence upgrade beyond the standard 3.5t threshold on the base models.
Figures span L2-L4 lengths, H1-H3 roof heights and 3.5t/4.25t GVW derivatives in both diesel and electric; drivers of the 4.25t derivatives need a category C1 licence as these exceed the standard 3,500 kg car-licence limit.
