Citroen Berlingo XL
Citroen Berlingo XL Van Spec
First and foremost, you don’t actually need us to tell you, the Berlingo XL is big. Clue is in the name. It can easily accommodate 7 people and still have room for cargo, tools or perhaps luggage. This is due to the sheer length of its load bay. The van’s middle row of seats and front passenger are folding, so if you have longer items to haul around, it it becomes incredibly easy to expand the cargo space to fit your needs. Whether it’s equipment for a job, sports gear, or larger furniture, the versatile seating configuration allows you to adapt the space to whatever your day demands, making the Citroen Berlingo XL perfect for both work and family use.
Size is a large factor in the Berlingo XL spec, pardon the pun. It’s designed with size in mind, offering more space than the standard Berlingo model. With its extended length of 4.75 metres, the XL version can comfortably seat up to 7 people, making it perfect for families or work crews.
Engine Options and Performance
The Citroen Berlingo XL van offers a range of engine options, catering to both power and fuel efficiency. You can choose from the 1.2 PureTech petrol engine or the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel engine, both of which comply with Euro 6 emission standards. The petrol engine delivers around 110hp, while the diesel version offers options from 100hp to 130hp, providing strong performance for urban and motorway driving. The 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic transmission options ensure a smooth and responsive driving experience, while the diesel engines provide excellent fuel economy for longer trips.
Interior Features and Comfort
Inside the Berlingo XL, comfort and practicality are important in equal measure. Features like the height-adjustable driver’s seat, climate control, and multiple USB charging ports make long journeys more comfortable. The 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to stay connected on the go. The modular seating arrangement allows you to adapt the cabin to your needs, whether you’re transporting passengers or cargo.
Technology and Safety
The Citroen Berlingo van is packed with technology designed to make driving easier and safer. It comes with an array of driver assistance features, including: lane departure warning, cruise control, traffic sign recognition, automatic emergency braking and rear parking sensors. If your business uses inner cities, or more rural scapes, these features will ensure you’re safe on the job.
Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Impact
The Berlingo XL’s BlueHDi diesel engines are known for their fuel efficiency, offering up to 60 mpg on long trips. These engines also have low CO2 emissions, making the van more environmentally friendly and cost-effective to run. The stop-start system further reduces fuel consumption by automatically switching off the engine when the van is stationary, helping to cut down on unnecessary emissions during stop-and-go traffic.
