A LIKEABLE AND
DISTINCTIVE PERSONALITY
In step with Citroën's latest creations, New Berlingo
disrupts in terms of style and brings a breath of fresh
air to the leisure activity vehicle segment. Citroën has
made in-depth upgrades to its new model, which stands
apart through its original body styling and singular
attitude as well as its robust design and flowing,
non-aggressive design. New Citroën Berlingo was
developed by the Citroën Style team headed by Alexandre
Malval. The team has designed a new-generation model
with expressive design while adding the bold touch
characteristic of the Brand. The entirely renewed New
Berlingo successfully and stylishly blends personality,
practicality and comfort.
At the front, New Citroën Berlingo stands out with
strong styling features, made possible notably by the
integration at the front of the EMP2 platform and
shorter overhang. New Berlingo has a higher and shorter
bonnet giving drivers a commanding view of the road, a
broader and unmistakeably Citroën front end with the
Brand's inimitable two-tiered light signature, and a
forward-set windscreen providing more space and light.
To reinforce its character and underline its modern and
dynamic profile, marked by consummately worked sides,
New Citroën Berlingo sports a higher waistline and large
glazed surfaces on the sides with bevelled contours. New
Berlingo is also equipped with lengthwise roof bars
(depending on the version) redolent of leisure
activities. The styling is enhanced by Airbump® on doors
bottoms, emphasising its robust look while signalling
constant body protection. The design of New Berlingo is
also marked by a vanishing point behind the roof that
lends vitality to its silhouette.
At the rear, the smooth and vertically positioned lights
of New Berlingo frame the tailgate, which is equipped
with a dark-tinted opening rear window tailgate set
above the logo and the chevrons. These components boost
the stature of New Citroën Berlingo and balance out the
design lines of the model, which has a minimum height of
1.81 m (without the roof bars, depending on the
version).
Like C3, New C3 Aircross Compact SUV and New Citroën C4
Cactus Hatchback, New Citroën Berlingo is enhanced by a
personalisation programme dear to the Brand and highly
appreciated by customers. Outside, it comes with a broad
range of eight body colours: Sand, Aqua Green, Steel
Grey, Platinum Grey, Onyx Black, Deep Blue, Passion Red
and Polar White. The colour signature is reinforced by
touches of colour surrounding the round-shaped front fog
lights and on the Airbump®: White Color Pack (depending
on the version) or Orange Color Pack (specific to the
XTR pack). In pure go-anywhere spirit, the emblematic
"XTR" version stands out with the Orange Color Pack as
well as 17-inch 17 inch alloy wheels SPIN and
body-coloured fairing front and rear, along with a
special Wild Green interior ambiance.
In classic Citroën style, the New Berlingo cabin is also
consummately designed. The comprehensively upgraded
interior marks a generational leap in terms of finish
quality and inspires a sense of serenity. An invitation
to travel, New Citroën Berlingo stands apart through its
airy and purely designed dashboard and high-set driving
position. The meticulously designed dashboard with its
horizontal styling has been made even more
user-friendly, with direct access to the
air-conditioning controls, leaving space for a number of
storage spaces.
Taking their inspiration from the world of furniture and
travel, the designers developed the interior of New
Berlingo to be functional and high quality. They used
soft-touch and warm materials to make occupants feel
good. The interior is available with new trim and a
varied set of colours corresponding to several interior
ambiances:
-
The “Standard” ambience with a pure look and
touches of Grey and Laurel (green water) colours,
-
The "Metropolitan Grey" ambience with Grey Slash
Cloth enhanced by a strip of bold Summertime Green.
A turquoise shade harmonising with a China Grey
dashboard, providing a sensation of well-being and
modernity,
-
The "Wild Green" ambience specific to the XTR pack
and synonymous with adventure, distinguished by its
Green Line Cloth and featuring an orange strip
contrasting with a Kaki Green striped pattern, which
refers to jeans cuffs. A strap Lama (light grey) to
the right of the dashboard with Orange
over-stitching, a nod to C4 Cactus, underscores the
new model's Citroën kinship and contrasts with the
Resada Green dashboard trim.

TWO BODY STYLES: SIZES
M AND XL
For the first time in its history, the New Citroën
Berlingo leisure activity vehicle is available in two
bodies while at the same time keeping its broadly
appealing robust and premium styling. The modern and
playful New Berlingo comes in two sizes with balanced
proportions and design. The standard M Size model keeps
its compact design and agility, measuring 2 cm longer
than the previous generation at 4.40 m, for a 2.78 m
wheelbase. The lengthened XL version adds an extra 35 cm
for a total length of 4.75 m and a 2.97 m wheelbase.
More versatile than ever, with the possibility of
transporting five or seven passengers (whether M or XL),
New Citroën Berlingo brings a new response to the needs
of families and friends, giving them a choice between
roominess and boot volume depending on their activities.

NEW CITROËN BERLINGO: MORE
INTELLIGENCE FOR MORE ONBOARD EASE AND WELL-BEING
New Citroën Berlingo builds on the strengths behind its
past success and raises the bar even higher to become
the most easiest-living vehicle in the segment. The new
model is part of the Citroën Advanced Comfort®
programme. On opening the doors, passengers discover a
roomy interior bathed in light and home to generous
storage spaces.

OUTSTANDING MODULARITY
Because spaciousness and modularity are key purchasing
criteria with leisure activity vehicles, New Citroën
Berlingo was ingeniously designed to deliver on segment
fundamentals and bring customers yet more cheerfulness
and well-being. Drawing on all of Citroën's expertise
and boasting class-leading versatility in the leisure
activity vehicle segment,
New Citroën Berlingo adapts to all the needs and uses of
motorists with active lifestyles.
Practical inside and out, New Citroën Berlingo features
top-class accessibility for passengers thanks to its two
wide and highly functional sliding side doors, which are
now fitted with descending electric windows. For
luggages, New Berlingo has a broad tailgate that opens
on to a capacious boot. Load volume is 775 l for the M
model (100 l more than the current generation in
five-seater mode) and 1,050 l for the XL version
(five-seater). Access is simplified by the dark-tinted
opening rear window tailgate and an all-new two heigth
positions luggage cover that is extremely useful when
loading and unloading. The design makes for optimal
loading in tight spaces where the tailgate cannot be
opened.
New Citroën Berlingo offers best-in-class spaciousness
and modularity reflected in true freedom in use on a
day-to-day basis thanks to the following:
-
Three same-size individual seats in row 2 offering
remarkable knee room for back-seat passengers (156
mm). The seats fold down in complete simplicity to
provide a Flat floor thanks to a retracting control
for each of the rear seats, accessible in the boot
through a simple movement of the Magic Flat®
controls*,
-
Combined with a folding front passenger seat, they
provide a perfectly flat floor and a floor load
length of up to 2.70 m for the M version and 3.05 m
for the XL model, ideal for transporting long
objects,
-
Two removable seats in row 3. Non-adjustable
lengthwise on M models, the seats are fitted on a
rail on XL models, moving through 130 mm. This
allows motorists to opt for roominess for passengers
or extra volume for the boot.
*Removable individual seats available from launch,
Magic Flat® controls available from spring 2019.

UP TO 186 LITRES OF
STORAGE SPACES
From the very first design drawings and technical
choices, user-friendly storage compartments and useful
spaces were central to the concerns of the designers,
the aim being to provide New Citroën Berlingo occupants
with true freedom of movement and an emphatic sense of
well-being. New Citroën Berlingo has 28 storage spaces
designed for everyday life, for a total of 186 litres.
Each one is more capacious and ingenious than the last
and all hold immense appeal to customers.
An emblematic component of the leisure activity vehicle,
the new multifunction roof on Berlingo carries over the
best features of previous generations while adding extra
space. The new-generation Modutop® alone offers 92
litres of storage spaces thanks to an ingenious layout
including a ceiling box accessible from the rear seats
(row 2) or boot (opening rear window tailgate)
containing 60 litres and 10 kg; a compartmentalised
translucent arch running the entire length of the cabin,
making objects clearly visible and making use of what is
generally considered as wasted space; and overhead
storage racks in row 1. The simple and modern design of
this piece of equipment, together with its finish,
underscore New Berlingo's move up market.
New Berlingo is also home to two glove boxes: a lower
glove box (open or closed depending on the version) with
room for a 0.75 l bottle and a unique upper glove box or
Top Box, made possible by moving the passenger airbag to
the ceiling (Airbag in Roof). This design frees up space
for a large closed storage space on the passenger side
of the upper part of the dashboard. This compartment is
available cooled (depending on the version), contains a
USB socket and jack audio socket, and can easily swallow
up a 15-inch laptop.
New Berlingo was designed for the storage of all sizes
of objects and personal affairs such as coins, pens,
cloths and vehicle documents. It features several
storage areas (including a Wireless charging area for
smartphone), an open storage compartment in front of the
radio screen, a closed compartment above the instrument
cluster, a drawer under the driver's seat, cup holders,
and door bins divided into two parts, one of which can
hold a 1.5 l bottle. Children will appreciate the
aircraft-style trays on the backs of the driver and
front passenger seats.

BATHED IN LIGHT
The New Citroën Berlingo cabin is bathed in light thanks
to its extensive glazed surfaces (6.4 m2), comprising a
wide windscreen, side windows (which now descend on the
sliding doors) and rear quarterlights. Combined with
Modutop® (depending on the version), the large panoramic
glass roof floods the cabin with light. The glass roof
can be covered with an electric sun blind. For even more
onboard well-being and more comfort at night, New
Citroën Berlingo is also equipped with individual
reading lights in the rear seats and now boasts ambient
lighting that enhances the translucent part of the
storage arch.

TYPICALLY CITROËN
SETTINGS
Produced at PSA's Vigo site in Spain, New Citroën
Berlingo is built on a new platform for more agility,
spaciousness and practicality, while offering classic
Citroën settings.
Adapted to all uses, New Citroën Berlingo benefits from
an efficient architecture offering even greater
functionality. The new model's modular platform is based
on the EMP2 platform at the front and the current
Berlingo platform at the rear. The front part of the
platform improves manoeuvrability (electric power
steering, turning circle), optimises mass and provides
for the latest driver-assistance systems. The rear part
of the platform is an upgrade of the current platform
that provides extra payload and preserves body width
between the wheel arches. The choice fosters a broader
range of features and customer satisfaction.
Faithful to the Brand's DNA and the Citroën Advanced
Comfort® programme, New Citroën Berlingo draws on all of
Citroën's expertise. Making each journey a moment of
shared pleasure, the new model filters out all road
disturbances in all conditions. Driver and passengers
enjoy optimal ride comfort through a comfortable driving
position (including for tall people), the comfort of
wider seats, suspension comfort and soundproofing
comfort, thanks to top-level acoustic treatment.

A HIGH-TECH LEISURE
ACTIVITY VEHICLE WITH 19 DRIVER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Citroën's new leisure activity vehicle is a reassuring
car equipped with a set of highly useful modern
technologies. New Citroën Berlingo is fitted with the
finest features, including 19 driver-assistance systems
and manoeuvring aids. It provides high-level safety by
fighting against simple moments of inattention and
preventing the risk of accidents.
-
Colour head-up
display: a system that provides the driver
with useful driving information in their field of
view. Projected in colour on a retractable surface,
this information (speed, guidelines of the cruise
control and speed limiter, etc.) is constantly
available to the driver without them having to look
away from the road.
-
Activ Lane
Departure Warning System: a system that
uses a camera recognising continuous and dotted
lines to detect involuntary departures from
longitudinal road markings. When the system detects
an involuntary lane departure, the steering
gradually steers the car back into its initial lane.
An indicator light flashes throughout the corrective
process. If the driver wishes to control the vehicle
trajectory, he or she can block the corrective
procedure by firmly holding the wheel (for example,
when dodging another vehicle). The corrective
procedure is interrupted when an indicator is
activated. The system functions at speeds between 65
km/h and 180 km/h.
-
Driver Attention
Alert: alerts drivers in the event of
decreased vigilance. The system assesses the
driver’s alertness by identifying trajectory
anomalies in relation to road markings using a
multi-function camera at the top of the windscreen.
The feature is especially suited to fast lanes, at
over 65 km/h.
-
Coffee Break
Alert: tells drivers when it is time to
take a break after they have driven for two hours at
speeds above 65 km/h.
-
Extended trafic
sign recognition and recommandation:
automatically detects and reads certain road signs,
including speed limit signs and end of speed limit
signs using a multifunction camera located in the
upper part of the windscreen. The image on the
detected sign and the authorised maximum speed
detected by the camera are displayed in the 3.5-inch
colour matrix on the instrument cluster and on the
head-up display surface. The information is updated
when a driver passes a speed limit sign and the
system also takes account of the speed limit
information in the mapping of the navigation system.
-
Adaptive Cruise
Control with STOP function (on EAT8): this
system provides two functions using the
multifunction camera on the upper part of the
windscreen, automatically maintaining vehicle speed
consistent with the driver's setting and
automatically adjusting the distance between the
vehicle in front of the driver. The system detects a
vehicle driving in front of the car in the same
direction. It automatically adjusts vehicle speed to
that of the vehicle in front, using the engine brake
and the braking system (in which case the stop
lights activate) to maintain a constant distance:
-
-If the vehicle in front is moving more slowly,
the system slows down (up to 30 km/h with a manual
gearbox) or brings the vehicle to a complete halt
(with the EAT8 automatic gearbox)
-
-If the vehicle in front speeds up or changes
lane, the cruise control system gradually
accelerates to return to the set speed
-
-If the driver activates the indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the system authorises
them to temporarily move closer to the vehicle in
front to help them overtake it, without exceeding
the set speed
-
Blind Spot
Monitoring System: a system using a light
in the wing mirrors to warn the driver if a vehicle
is present in their blind spot.
-
Active Safety
Brake: an emergency brake system that
reduces the risk of collision from ahead via a sound
and visual alert and braking automatically in the
place of the driver if this last fails to react in a
timely manner. The multi-purpose camera at the top
of the windscreen detects obstacles, for example a
vehicle moving in the same direction or at a
standstill. When travelling at speeds between 5 km/h
and 85 km/h, the system automatically works on the
brakes when a risk of collision with another moving
vehicle is detected. The vehicle‘s speed must not
exceed 80km/h when a vehicle at a standstill is
detected and must not exceed 60 km/h when the
obstacle detected is a pedestrian.
-
Post Collision
Safety Brake: a system that works on the
brakes after an accident and serves to limit damage
-
Intelligent beam
headlights: a system that automatically
activates high- and low-beam headlights at night
depending on the lighting conditions and surrounding
traffic.
-
Cornering Light
Function: a system that functions dependent
on the steering wheel angle and above 40 km/h. The
left or right front fog lights activates in addition
to the main headlamp to illuminate up to 75° the
angle to the right or left of the vehicle.
-
Keyless entry and
start: for locking, unlocking and starting
the vehicle without using the key. The car
recognises drivers as they approach the front door
handles or boot with their hands.
-
Hill Start Assist:
to make hill starts easier, this system prevents any
undesired vehicle movement on inclines when the
brake pedal is released. The function activates on
inclines of over 3% by stabilising the vehicle for
two seconds.
-
Flankguard:
informs the driver of the proximity of objects to
the side of the manoeuvring vehicle by memorising
the data recorded by sensors located in the front
and rear bumpers combined with the vehicle
trajectory.
-
Reversing camera
with Top Rear Vision: a system displaying
the immediate environment of the vehicle using a
180° panoramic camera. It is supplemented by a park
assist system, which provides drives with a visual
and sound alert to avoid obstacles in the close
vicinity of the vehicle. The screen splits into two,
with on the left a view of the immediate environment
of the vehicle, and on the right a view of the top
of the vehicle. Different views of the vehicle's
environment can be displayed on the driver's
request: a standard view, a 180° view and a zoom
view (this last is automatically displayed when the
car nears an obstacle).
-
Trailer Stability
Control: on models equipped with a tow hook
(factory option), New Citroën Berlingo is equipped
with a towed-object stabiliser. Supplementing the
ESP system, this function detects any oscillation on
the part of the towed object. It stabilises this
last by working on the brakes and, where necessary,
reducing engine power to slow down the vehicle. It
detects the towed object when its electric
connection is hooked up to the vehicle.
-
Electric parking
brake: a system that automatically clamps
when the engine is stopped, automatically unclamps
when the vehicle moves forward (activated by
default) or manually by a pull on the control
paddle.
-
Grip Control with
Hill Assist Descent: providing grip in all
conditions, Grip Control adapts the traction of the
front wheels to the type of road surface. Drivers
select one of five modes, Standard, Snow, Mud, Sand,
ESP OFF, using the thumbwheel on the central
console. Combined with Grip Control, Hill Assist
Descent maintains the car at a reduced speed even on
steep inclines. The technology keeps the vehicle on
the right trajectory while limiting the risk of
slippage or acceleration as the car descends slopes,
in forward or reverse gear.
-
Park Assist:
makes manoeuvring calmer, easier and safer when
parking. This system provides active assistance for
parallel and perpendicular parking. On the driver’s
request, it automatically detects a parking space
then safely steers the car into it.
