Citroën announces C3 Panel Van during executive visit to SA

Thierry Koskas, the global head of Citroën, is in South Africa to meet local stakeholders.
His visit coincides with the announcement that the French brand will introduce a new panel van model based on the C3 crossover for the local market.
With the B-segment competition such as the Renault Kiger, Chery Tiggo 4 Pro and Nissan Magnite adding panel van models to their catalogues after the demise of half-tonne bakkies, including the Nissan NP200 and Chevrolet Utility, the French brand confirms it will introduce a C3-based panel van derivative in 2025. The vehicle, aimed at small-to-medium enterprises, is converted locally by RMAA SA in Silverton, Pretoria.
