Citroën Berlingo

The Citroën Berlingo is a panel van and leisure activity vehicle produced by the French manufacturer Citroën since 1996.

The Berlingo uses the same chassis, and indeed looks very similar, to its PSA Group stablemate the Partner. It was launched in 1996, and a revised version featuring a redesigned interior and front end was released in 2003. The passenger car version is named Multispace, and sells well in several European countries due to its practicality and comparatively low pricing.

A battery-powered version of the van was available. It has a 162 V Saft NiCd battery, a 28 kW Leroy Somer motor and has a maximum speed of 95 km/h (59 mph), with a maximum range of 95 km (59 mi) in typical driving. Production of this version stopped in September 2005.

[edit] Berlingo concept cars

When the Berlingo was first shown at the Mondial de l'Automobile in 1996, a set of three concept cars was also presented:

Berlingo Coupé de Plage
Berlingo Berline Bulle
Berlingo Grand Large

The Berline Bulle was an interesting concept of a very roomy small car which could be considered as a precursor for the C3. Only one of these concepts was actually developed, the Grand Large version, which gave birth to the present Multispace.

[edit] Future of the Berlingo

This article contains information about a scheduled or anticipated future automobile.
It may contain preliminary or speculative information, and may not reflect the final version of the vehicle.

Spyshots show that Citroën is developing a replacement for the Berlingo. [1] It is yet unknown whether the Berlingo name will be kept or not; the engine range is expected to be similar to other current models of the PSA group.
