Citroën Relay payload, weight & towing

4.5 out of 5 4.5

The Citroen Relay comes in four gross vehicle weights (GVW):

  • 3.0 tonnes / 3,000kg - labelled 30
  • 3.3 tonnes / 3,300kg - labelled 33
  • 3.5 tonnes / 3,500kg - labelled 35 or 35 Heavy, depending on spec
  • 4.0 tonnes / 4,000kg - labelled 40 Heavy

Since GVW is the total allowed weight of the van and everything inside, these figures have a direct impact on payload.

Citroen Relay maximum payload:

 Citroen Relay  GVW  Max payload 
 L1H1  30  1,125kg
 L1H1  33  1,425kg
 L2H1  35  1,570kg
 L2H2  35  1,545kg
 L3H2  35  1,495kg
 L3H2  35 Heavy   1,455kg
 L3H3  35  1,470kg
 L4H2  35 Heavy  1,410kg
 L4H2  40 Heavy  1,870kg
 L4H3  35 Heavy  1,380kg
 L3H2 Crew Van   35  1,315kg

All figures correct at time of writing in November 2021. Maximum payload varies engine specification, fitted equipment and age of van. Check the weight plate for the specifics of your vehicle.

Heavy models have specially reinforced suspension designed to withstand the rigours of repeatedly high payloads. The 40 Heavy models also have twin rear wheels.

Citroen Relay towing capacity

All versions of the Citroen Relay will tow a 750kg unbraked trailer.

Braked towing capacity varies with engine and van size, with the standard range currently offering between 2,500kg at the lower end and 3,000kg on tougher versions.
