Citroen Berlingo Multispace Review

[vc_single_image image=”45989″ img_size=”article-image”]The Citroen Berlingo Multispace is essentially a van-based compact people carrier. One look at it, and you’ll be forgiven for thinking that it isn’t quite what you were expecting. That’s because the Citroen Berlingo Multispace happens to look very smart indeed, with the French brand doing wonders with the MK2 version to imbue it with more style, more hi-tech, more equipment, as well as more value and pizzazz. There is also now the option of a Citroen Berlingo Multispace 7 seater. Let’s take a closer look at what the Berlingo Multispace offers.

More Comfortable Ride

[vc_single_image image=”45990″ img_size=”article-image”]The Citroen Berlingo Multispace has been described as being very ‘car-like.’ It’s somewhat worrying to hear a car being described as car-like; your ears prick up and began to wonder if something is amiss. Why shouldn’t a car be very car-like? What else would it be? Well, it’s been described in this way because the MK1 Citroen Berlingo Multispace 2012 was very bumpy to say the least. Less car-like and more broken-down space hopper-esque.

This newfound car-like nature is a result mostly of stronger anti roll bars and a revised suspension set-up. Instead of literally going to war with Britain’s shocking roads, the Citroen Berlingo Multispace now absorbs them rather well, offering a much more comfortable ride. And a comfortable ride is often a main priority when it comes to choosing an MPV. This is not to say, though, that the Citroen Berlingo Multispace is a complete softy; it’s firm in roll at least.

Better Equipped

[vc_single_image image=”45991″ img_size=”article-image”]Designing a van-based compact family carrier can’t have been the easiest thing to do in the world. If you ask your mate to go ahead and draw one, there is a chance it would be an unholy cross between a Transit and a MINI. Citroen themselves didn’t quite get it right first time around in 2008, but the new Berlingo Multispace looks a lot more stylish. Soft-touch plastics are now the order of the day instead of crude black plastic, with the cabin giving a hi-tech makeover that brings it into touch with what the modern family demands of their MPV’s. This means that Berlingo Multispace accessories include satellite navigation, as well as Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

As you’d expect from a family carrier, there are storage holes everywhere in the Citroen Berlingo Multispace, with even more arriving as additional extras, such as a useful overhead storage shelf. The boot size is 675-litres, which can be increased to 3000-litres with rear seats removed. As mentioned earlier, there is also now the option of upgrading from a 5 seater to a Citroen Berlingo Multispace 7 seater.[vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”45993″ img_size=”article-image”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”45992″ img_size=”article-image”]

Final Thoughts

Citroen Berlingo Multispace offers start at around £13,000 and rise to about £17,000. Used Citroen Berlingo Multispace’s will invariably come a little cheaper. The prices will overall be welcomed by most families who would otherwise have to pay at least £5,000 more for a 5 seat MPV, such as the Ford C-Max or the Citroen Picasso. Even the £14,000 (at the very least) you’d have to pay for a Citroen Berlingo Multispace 7 seater is still a very attractive figure, whilst the top-of-the-range Citroen Berlingo Multispace XTR would see you fork out closer to £17,000. The Citroen Berlingo Multispace XTR comes with raised suspension, engine protection, as well as Grip Control.

The Citroen Berlingo Multispace represents a welcome improvement on the MK1 version. If the original model was a faithful dog who, though she never let you down, was just a tad under-skilled and couldn’t always do everything you needed her to do, the new Citroen Berlingo Multispace is an evolved breed, capable of much more. It stands taller and erect, ready to perform dutifully. One of the great things about this MPV is that you can add various Citroen Berlingo Multispace accessories and it will still be more affordable than the competition. Value for money has never been sweeter for the whole family.
