The e-Berlingo, as the new Berlingo is being called, is the only electric vehicle that Citroen will sell in Europe. Customers will undoubtedly appreciate the updated model's many new features, which include a far more contemporary appearance than its predecessor.
The new Berlingo will be available with two PureTech 110 horsepower and 130 horsepower petrol engines and BlueHDi 90, 100, and 130 horsepower diesel engines in other markets, but it will only be sold as an electric vehicle in Europe.
A 50 kW LFP battery provides the power for a 136 hp electric motor. On the WLTP combined cycle, the French automaker anticipates it will have a maximum distance of 320 km, which is 20% farther than the previous model.
The car has an on-board 7.4 kW charger by default, but an 11 kW three-phase charger is an option. A 100 kW DC fast charger takes 30 minutes to charge from 0% to 80%, a 7.4 kW home charger takes 7.5 hours to fully recharge, and an 11 kW home charger takes 5 hours.
The new Berlingo's design differs from the previous iteration. The front end has changed significantly, with a new bumper, a redesigned grille, and updated headlights that feature a unique three-segment LED light signature, all while maintaining a recognizable overall shape. On the front fascia, the Citroen oval badge is prominently displayed, and the Advanced Comfort XTR Pack models have an aluminum-effect skid plate.
The Berlingo's rear fascia has been designed by Citroen in a somewhat more subdued manner, but the vertical LED taillights are still very noticeable. In addition, you can choose between 16- and 17-inch wheels and roof racks. There are five body colors for Berlingo: Sirkka Green, Steel Grey, Perla Nera Black, Kaolin White, and Kiana Blue.
The cabin has undergone extensive modifications. A plethora of technologies are also well-equipped in the new model. These include the most recent 10-inch infotainment screen for the Citroen Play, which has wireless support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In addition, there is a wireless smartphone charger, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, and no fewer than eighteen driving assistance technologies, such as Stop & Go and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Three separate seats can be found in the second row, while the Berlingo XL adds two more seats to the third row. A feature that is especially useful is the rear window's independent opening from the tailgate.
