What is the Berlingo?

The Citroën Berlingo is a type of vehicle often called a "leisure activity vehicle" (LAV) or a "panel van". This means it's designed to be useful for many different things.

Berlingo as a Van

As a van, the Berlingo is great for businesses or people who need to carry tools, packages, or other items. It has a large cargo area in the back instead of passenger seats. This makes it a popular choice for deliveries, tradespeople, and small businesses.

Berlingo as a Car (Multispace)

The car version of the Berlingo is called the Berlingo Multispace. This model is designed for families and people who need a lot of space for passengers and their luggage. It has comfortable seats for people, often with sliding doors on the sides, which makes it easy to get in and out, especially in tight parking spots. The Multispace is perfect for road trips, sports teams, or anyone who needs extra room for friends and gear.

Generations of the Berlingo

The Citroën Berlingo has gone through different versions, called "generations," since it was first made.

First Generation (1996–2012)

The first Berlingo was launched in 1996. It was a new idea at the time, combining the best parts of a car and a van. It quickly became popular because it was affordable and very useful. This generation had a few updates over the years to keep it looking fresh and to add new features.

Second Generation (2008–2018)

The second generation of the Berlingo arrived in 2008. It was bigger and more modern than the first one. It offered more comfort and better technology, making it even more appealing to families and businesses.

Third Generation (2018–Present)

The newest generation of the Berlingo came out in 2018. This version has a more stylish look and even more advanced features, including new safety systems and more efficient engines. There are also electric versions available, which are good for the environment.
