Vansports is coming to the Essen Motor Show this year with two modified Mercedes-Benz Citan vans. They’re called the UrbanSportster and the Georide, and the two are separate creations even though they share a few common accessories and upgrades.
The aftermarket specialist designed the UrbanSportster for the city, installing lowering springs that reduced the van’s ground clearance by about 1.18 inches (30 millimeters). Black 19-inch twin-spoke wheels sit on all four corners, with body upgrades such as a new front spoiler and side sills.

Inside the UrbanSportster, Vansports installed a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Napa leather and Alcantara. It even has a yellow band at the 12 o’clock position. Both rows of seats get an upgrade with yellow and black Alcantara that matches the Limonite yellow metallic paint of the exterior. The Citan also gets a matt silver aluminum load sill trim, while a set of four-part door sill panels protect each door.
The Georide is the off-road van of the two, getting a 1.18-inch increase in ground clearance thanks to new springs. Vansports designed it for “simple off-road excursions”. General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tires that wrap around its 18-inch Krona 1 rims contribute to its off-road capability. The tuner finished them with matte black paint and shiny silver screws.
The rugged Mercedes van also gets an exterior visual upgrade with a new front spoiler lip, side sill panels and fender flares. The Georide further differentiates itself from the UrbanSportster with a black powder coated roof rack fitted with LED strips. Vansports protects the rugged construction with new load sill trim and black powder coated door sill panels. Inside, the pickup gets a sporty steering wheel finished in Napa leather and Alcantara.
Vansports is making all upgrades available for the Citan Tourer and Citan Van. If you’re in Germany, you can see the vans at the Essen Motor Show until December 11. drive the diesel version.
