NEW CITROËN BERLINGO FOR PROFESSIONALS

Practical and functional, yet strong on styling and comfort

It will change the way you think about professional vehicles

Eminently practical

Professional customers’ key requirements are load volume, versatility and roominess. The New Berlingo fulfils these needs with originality and efficiency. 

More spacious
The New Berlingo has grown in size. Citroën has made it 24 cm longer (4.38 m) and 8 cm wider (1.81 m), and lengthened the wheelbase by 3.5 cm (2.73 m). 
The new model is available in short and long versions to satisfy a wider range of needs. The long version has a rear overhang 25 cm longer than the short version and measures 4.63 m in length.
With its new dimensions, the New Berlingo offers more load volume, enough to take two Europallets, one in front of the other width-wise. Load volume is 3.3m3 (3.7m3 for the long version) compared with 3m3 for the Berlingo First, while payload totals 625 kg or 850 kg (750 kg for the long version). The New Berlingo’s increased dimensions make it a standard-setter on load volume in the compact van segment. 

More versatile For more versatility in use and to respond to a wider range of professional needs, the New Berlingo ships with different cabins. 

  • The Extenso® cabin
    The New Berlingo features Citroën’s innovative Extenso® cabin that offers a number of advantages.
    The cabin can seat three passengers in the front thanks to an occasional middle seat. Drivers can configure the vehicle quickly and effortlessly to suit their needs.
    The side passenger seat folds away to create a flat floor for transporting loads up to three metres long. The ratio between interior load length and exterior vehicle length (4.38 m) is an impressive achievement for this segment. The folding passenger seat has a canvas back to support loads of up to 50 kg.
    The passenger seat can also be folded like a cinema seat, with the base raised up against the seat back, for transporting high loads in the cab.
    The Extenso® cabin brings 0.4 m3 more volume, taking the total to 3.7 m3 for the short version and 4.1m3 for the long version. 

  • The two-seater cabin
    For the conventional cab – with two seats in the front row - the passenger seat back folds away to optimise loading.

 Optimised access Loading is made easier by: 

  • A low load sill
    The load sill is 58.4 cm high for the 625-kg short version, 60.9 cm for the 850-kg short version, and 61.2 cm for the long version. 

  • Loading area with wide rectangular opening
    The loading area is fitted with 60-40 swing doors and, in some countries, ships with a tailgate with or without an opening window.
    60-40 swing doors make it easier to transport long loads because the vehicle can be driven with the smaller door open (the registration plate is fitted on the larger door). The smaller door is on the same side of the vehicle as the foldaway or folding passenger seat (depending on trim level), thus optimising loads. In addition, the rear swing doors open out to 177°, which means that the New Berlingo can back right up to platforms for loading.
    The opening window on the tailgate provides easy access to the load area without having to open the tailgate. Even better, it can be used to transport long objects, since the registration plate on the tailgate remains visible.

  • One or two sliding side doors.
    Customers can choose between one or two sliding side doors to make loading even easier.

With all these configurations, Citroën can provide all professionals with the Berlingo that best meets their needs.
