• Lots of space for not much cash
• Petrol and diesel versions cheaper than EV
• Two well-equipped trim levels

In our road testing experiences, the Puretech 110 returns an average of 38mpg over a mixture of roads, with the old 130 not much less efficient. We’ve seen more in rival petrol MPVs such as the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer which can get well into the forties if you’re careful.

Of the diesels, it’s the Berlingo BlueHDi 100 that’s the most efficient with official claims of high 40s to low 50s economy with the Blue HDI 130 only slightly less efficient. We’d expect mid-forties MPG in the real world regardless of which you’ve picked.

Servicing and warranty

You’ll find petrol and diesel Berlingos are pricier to service than the e-Berlingo as there are more moving parts to worry about. Service plans are available from Citroen to spread out the cost, with intervals set at every year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The Berlingo’s warranty is a standard three years or 60,000 miles but can be extended for a fee
