Capacity & size

4 out of 5 4.0

All Citroen Berlingo models come with one sliding side door and two side-hinged rear doors. You can add an extra sliding door at extra cost to the long-wheelbase Berlingo XL models if you want added practicality.

There aren’t any differences in body heights, but with two different lengths available – M and XL – the overall capacities vary between models.

The extra length for the XL model comes from a slightly longer wheelbase and longer rear overhang, freeing up extra length for carrying longer items in the load area.

For the Berlingo M, there’s a maximum load length of 1,810mm, while the XL offers 2,160mm. If you opt for the Extenso Cab for the interior, spaces is freed up beneath the passenger seats for carrying longer items.

For full exterior dimensions, see the table below:


Citroen Berlingo exterior dimensions

Citroen Berlingo size Berlingo M Berlingo XL
Exterior length (mm) 4,403 4,753
Exterior height (mm) (Worker version in brackets) 1,840 (1,860) 1,849 (1,860)
Exterior width with mirrors (mm) 2,107 2,107
Exterior width mirrors folded (mm) 1,848 1,848

With two body lengths available, the only differences in exterior dimensions for the Berlingo come in its length.


Citroen Berlingo load area dimensions and volume

Citroen Berlingo size Berlingo M Berlingo XL
Maximum load length (mm) 1,817 2,167
Maximum load height (mm) 1,236 1,243
Maximum load width (mm) 1,550 1,550
Width between wheelarches (mm) 1,230 1,230
Maximum load volume (cu m) 3.3 3.8
Maximum load volume (Extenso Cab) 3.9 4.4

Going for the Extenso Cab in the front opens up some extra load length for fitting in longer items, while an optional flap in the roof will allow you to also carry longer items without the need to leave the rear doors open and lash them together.

Payload, weight & towing

4 out of 5 4.0

Citroen sells the Berlingo with several payloads available, depending on the particular model you go for, and with bold claims for being able to carry more than all its rivals.

Citroen Berlingo payload

The maximum payload of each model is indicated in the car’s full name, with 650, 950, and 1000 models, and these all vary depending on the trim level and the engine fitted, so make sure you study the brochure carefully when picking what you need, as some engines and trims come in with certain maximum payloads, while other do not.

It’s also variable depending on the body length, too, as all Berlingo XL models come with 950kg maximum payload. The Berlingo M varies between 650-, 950- and 1000kg, so check the specs.
