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.
