Citroën Berlingo (98-09) - Review

Review by Parkers
Last Updated:
We think that the Berlingo shares more DNA with the old 2CV than the C3 and C3 Pluriel. Like the classic Citroën, Berlingo has loads of space, a high roofline and is thoroughly practical. It's based on a van, which brings its advantages, such as low purchase prices and running costs. The optional full-length sunroof makes it feel like a convertible.

Performance

Like most others in the van-based MPV class, we'd go for the diesel. Although the 1.4 and 1.6 are lively and willing, the 2.0 TD performs better with a full load and is remarkably refined. It's economical, too.

Handling

There's considerable bodyroll, but handling is surprisingly agile. All the controls are light, there's a good gearchange and the steering is precise. Even around town it feels quite nimble.
