2020 Citroen, diesel, 130HP, aut. here. The amount of car, comfort and practicality you get for your money is absolutely astounding! Being able to just fold the handle, lock the brakes on full sized child carriage and just drop it in the back and still have a full back seat available to you, is amazing.

Great review thanks. I have just bought the Berlingo XL 130bhp Auto Diesel and I love it. A few cars ago I had a Berlingo. Loved it but the boot was not quite big enough so bought a Spacetourer and have just traded it in as I don't need such a big vehicle anymore. I got almost the price I paid for Spacetourer 3 years ago as part exchange as they are so sought after now. The Berlingo XL is the 7 seater but I've taken out the 2 back seats to give me a very large boot. Never had a problem with any of my Citroens.

The world needs more boxes on wheels, they just make so much sense. Not a berlingo but around where i live is a hotted up early model kangoo, lowered, set of fog lights, alloys and recaro buckets, not sure what mechanical upgrades but definitely catches my eye when I see it, brilliant

Many thanks for this video Tim. I sat in the 2023 model at a local Citroen dealer yesterday afternoon. Whilst the acceleration figures of 11 hours (give or take) for 0-62mph are underwhelming it's potentially a life-saver as I can mount a hoist for my mobility scooter in the boot. This means I will be able to go out on my own without the wife having to remove, assemble, disassemble. & pack away my scooter on each occasion. I love its fun, funky, quirky looks and I look forward to taking one for a test drive. It could well be my first motability car. Strangely, having worked so hard to distance the Berlingo from its van roots, the 2024 revamp is so dull, bland and boring that it looks 100% like a van. If I'm happy with how it drives I hope I can secure a 2023 model eventhough the interior of the new model has an improved spec. One step forward...

I'm a great fan of the Berlingo. It offers superb luxury - no, not wood, leather and soft touch plastics but SPACE. I have traveled far and wide in a friend's one and always appreciate the high seating position with built-in arm rests in the front chairs and fantastic visibility. This one is an elderly diesel but it is refined and rides far better than many modern cars. It has also been very reliable. Another friend has the van version for work with the automatic gearbox and he raves about it.

My first car was a pre facelift first gen berlingo with a 1.9 non turbo diesel. They don't make cars like these anymore since it only weighted 1266kg and with its independent front suspension it turned in beautifully with the help of bilstein suspension and pirelli cinturado tires. Too bad it was rotting through on the salted estonian roads.

The review in the telegraph paints a different picture. That it is the van which has been cobbled together as they messed up stopping ICE.

The series two underpinnings were based on the Picasso and so a car-like ride and suspension, unlike the series one which was van based. I was under the impression that the chassis on this series was the same as the series two. Also, there are many metal grills which can be bought so as to contain dogs, for instance, in the boot. So if this is classed as a commercial vehicle, does that mean that those vehicles would be similarly classed once a grill had been fitted. There is almost no difference in substance between series 2 and series 3 interior space and the series two was sold as and classified as, an MPV. I don't understand the logic of the change. Isn't the grill removable?

Lovely metal bulkhead? 😂 This cuts down the space on the back of the van by a third & makes the back row of seats ridiculously cramped. Did you mention that this is classed as a lgv by DVLA & has a speed restriction on it? Sorry I switched off before. I have a lovely 2013 Berlingo MPV. This 2023 version is a rushed back to market botched adaptation of the van.

@volt8684 the dealer called me and they confirmed the bulkhead, told him they just lost a 30k sale and he said I wasn't the first to say that!

They missed a trick, an old diesel Berlingo is popular Car to have a boot jump in and go camping in, the electric version is being bought to do the same with but limited on range, the new disel cant be used with a boot jump be cause of the bulk head, had they left the bulkhead out and same spec as the EV but diesel it would fly out, especially motability customers who may be retired etc looking for a car to convert to camper.

@Olaf_TheBerlingoCamper am not sure what you mean by a boot jump? I have one on order and have asked for the bulkhead to be removed and will have a mobility scooter hoist fitted in the boot,are you saying that the rear seats are totally fixed,don't fold forwards? Looks like I may have not looked into this properly!

@Olaf_TheBerlingoCamper 9 ай бұрын

@@julianhyams8710 it may be ok for you to fit a hoist in but you can’t fit a boot jump in it with the bulkhead, which was what my original comment referred too, also if its a motability car you cant just ripped out the bulkhead and leave the car in a mess, there are several versions so best to check with your dealer.

We have one and it's great. Can't be doing with bloated SUVs that weigh 2 Tonnes and return 25mpg. The "Designers" of these "desirable" cars (sorry lorries) should be ashamed of themselves. I'm not anti prestige cars as I have a 911 in the garage, but hey, if I could only have one car, it would be a Berlingo.

@davewright9312 11 ай бұрын

What mpg does your 911 give you? Bet it's not much different than the 2 tonnes SUV..if not worse..I had two Peugeot partners CDV for ten years and in that ten years I had a land rover and now a pick up truck.the latter two were my preferred drive so the pug was generally left for my wife's use...much to her dismay..wasn't really impressed with the last pug..or the main dealer so that's now gone..

Diesel eco stuff among others EGR valve, catalyst SCR, AdBlue and DPF filter. And tons of sensors (temp, pressure, NOx, flow) means huge issue if you don't make long journeys weekly. Diesel was killed by EU regulations.

One thing I HATE about the new generation Berlingos, is the smaller engines they now make with ever larger turbos, which is evident, these vans, are not as reliable as the older generation, as for the ale trick ones,in a word RUBBISH.

Like your charismatic delivery of a too uncharismatic car. One sees the appeal of a small bread van style family car. It's a shame about the unforgivably incoherent /fussy styling from the A pillar onwards; the facelifted mk1 Berlingo was so much better visually. (The overhead central spine locker and little skylights or canvas roof also gave it appeal and reasons to choose it over the VW Caddy or Renault Kangoo). This one lacks USPs and character and for £25k new as base model?... hmm a Dacia Jogger for £18k is too tempting, or a second-hand VW Caddy or T5/T6 do so much more, as appealing versatile capacious family transport for the money.
