While we prepare the picnic, the children ride their mountain bikes along the muddy tracks nearby. Fortunately, our New Berlingo is equal to anything with its washable hard-wearing fabrics and coatings.
We sit back and enjoy the scenery as we eat our picnic.
Then we decide to move on for our hike through the forest. We load the vehicle up again and get back on the road.  With its raised suspension and 16" wheels, our new Berlingo XTR easily deals with the rough earth tracks. Above all, it is fitted with the new HDi 110 DPFS engine, designed to deliver performance and fuel economy, while also respecting the environment. The New Berlingo is the ideal partner for staying close to nature.

High-performance engines… 

From launch, the New Berlingo will be available with a range of engines – three diesel and two petrol – mated to a manual 5-speed gearbox. Customers will be able to find the engine that best corresponds to their requirements in terms of economy, performance and the environment. 

• Petrol engines
  The new 90 bhp 1.6i 16V engine is the entry-level option for petrol versions. This engine places the emphasis on torque at low speeds (132 Nm at 2,500 rpm) in order to maintain efficiency (66 kW EEC at 5,500 rpm). It thus establishes a compromise between satisfactory performance and limited cost-in-use.
  The 110 bhp 1.6i 16V engine is the top-of-the-range option for petrol models, delivering power, response and a smooth drive. It features a 16-valve aluminium cylinder head and a double overhead camshaft. This engine develops 80 kW EEC at 5,800 rpm (110 bhp DIN) with maximum torque of 147 Nm at 4,000 rpm. 

• Diesel engines
  The indispensable HDi 75. This diesel entry-level engine delivers sufficient torque at low and average engine speeds – up to 185 Nm at 1,750 rpm – to ensure comfort in use while keeping running costs on a tight rein. It develops 55kW EEC (75 bhp DIN) at 4,000 rpm.
  The 92 HDi engine, delivering more torque (215 Nm at 1,750 rpm) and more power (66 kW EEC at 4,000 rpm).
  The new HDi 110 DPFS engine. This upmarket diesel engine, equipped with the particulate filter, sets high standards of performance while respecting the environment. It features a second-generation injection system and a variable-geometry turbocharger. It develops 80 kW at 4,000 rpm (110 bhp DIN) for torque of 240 Nm at 2,000 rpm. Seventy percent of torque is available from 1,250 rpm. Torque can be bumped up to 254 Nm with the “overboost” function that increases turbo pressure for short periods. 

… that respect the environment  

Citroën has long sought to develop and market vehicles equipped with ecologically sound technologies. From launch, the New Berlingo is available with the HDi 110 diesel engine fitted with the diesel particulate filter system (DPFS). The DPFS will also be available in the longer term on the HDi 92 engine. Berlingo models fitted with the HDi engine and DPFS satisfy the environmental criteria required for the Airdream eco-label given to the cleanest vehicles in the Citroën range.
At the same time, the HDi engines available with the New Berlingo, can run on a fuel blend containing up to 30% biodiesel, with no modifications necessary. This technology reduces CO₂ emissions and promotes the use of renewable energy.
Along with generous load volumes and class-beating space, the New Berlingo ranks among the best in the segment for its aerodynamics, thus contributing directly to fuel economy.

Limited cost-in-use 

With the New Berlingo, cost-in-use is low for several reasons: 

• Economical engines
  The New Berlingo's engines are designed for fuel economy. 

• Appropriate servicing intervals
  The servicing frequency is 20,000 km or two years on diesel versions, and 30,000 km or two years on petrol versions in normal use. 

• A longer service life for wear parts
  The New Berlingo has opted for wear parts with an extended service life. For example, the timing belt is replaced after 240,000 km or every ten years on the diesel engine in normal use. 

• Servicing operations accessible to users
  The under-bonnet layout is designed to provide easy access to tanks, so that users can conduct certain operations themselves. 

• Robust, washable materials 

• Running and servicing costs are reduced by using robust, washable materials for the seats, carpeting and synthetic mats. The New Berlingo is designed to stand up to intensive use.
