Citroen Berlingo - A perfect family MPV in the UK

The Berlingo Is A Good Value And Cheap To Run Mpv But It Still Lacks Refinement And Luxurious Features

The Berlingo is a tour-de-force MPV with extreme practicality and performance. It is bigger, bolder, squared but immensely practical family vehicle for those who are looking for budgeted options, great work done by Citroen. One of the unique selling points of the French automaker is the practicality of their vehicles and Berlingo is just awesome. The Berlingo Multispace MPV although lacks luxury but its target audiences are also those who are not after luxury, they are after practicality which is elevated in the model lineup. For families, it is a good value for their money and cheap to run as well. Few frills and it is more than expected from a budgeted vehicle.

What does it offer?

There is a choice of punchy Citroen engines to opt from where a pair of diesel engines with ultra-modern BlueHDi technology offers utmost fuel economy while being an eco-friendly chap. For the petrol lovers, there is a petrol option available as well to appeal to those who just want some active oomph out of the accelerator push. On the transmission side, both manual and automatic gearboxes are offered on the van. The Berlingo Multispace is not a thrill to drive at all, but it still drives reasonably well with utmost practicality. 

It is the best vehicle offered by Citroen ever for the longer journeys with exclusively good space for passengers and their luggage which makes the longer journeys quiet comfortable.

Which trim is the best?

Out of the several trims offered in the lineup, the BlueHDi 100 Flair is the one was tested by our experts and they found it cheap to run, practical and comfortable seven-seater. It has exclusive space efficiency, cost-effectiveness, fuel economy and performance and this is why a Berlingo called Multispace according to me.

The Berlingo is one of the rare van based passenger MPVs and it is more appealing due to its practicality and performance in the go rather than features and luxury. The Berlingo MPV is based on the previous generation of the C4 and Peugeot partner and gets inspiration from 308 to transport a full family at once. More than 3000 litres of luggage space at the rear when the last row has been removed. Being a different kind of people carrier, major brands do not compete the Berlingo in the market, but the same class Fiat Dublo is there to give Berlingo some tough time in the European markets. The UK market is free to move to the MPV.

The Citroen Berlingo isn’t a great car when it comes to utmost comfort, its noisy diesel engines rattle all the way while driving. But these engines are an excellent blend of lowdown torque and decent fuel economy. The entry-level petrol is something that you would steer clear. If you already have one it blows on you, no need to worry about it because there are hundreds of Citroen Berlingo reconditioned engine sellers and they have best prices than the main dealers for new engines. It, not a wise decision at all to use a new engine on a secondhand vehicle when its total value is even less than the engine price. Recon units offer the same performance as the new engines do.

A Budgeted Mpv For Your Family

When it comes to the price and running costs, the Berlingo undercuts almost all of its rivals in the market by a sizeable margin. It has a highly admired fuel economy of just under 70 miles per gallon which is almost equal to a tiny hatchback.
