NEW CITROËN BERLINGO FOR PROFESSIONALS

Practical and functional, yet strong on styling and comfort

It will change the way you think about professional vehicles

The cabin comfort of a saloon The New Berlingo is an artful blend of LCV and passenger car, combining practicality with comfort and road manners never before seen in the small van segment.

All-round comfort 

  • Driving comfort
    For optimal comfort on all types of roads, the New Berlingo has been fitted with the running gear of the C4 Picasso. This system has clearly demonstrated its excellence in terms of both ride comfort and handling.
    The MacPherson-type front suspension features lower wishbones and an anti-roll bar. The New Berlingo thus combines pin-sharp steering with driving comfort.
    The rear suspension is based on a transverse beam and an anti-roll bar. Its originality lies in its inclined shock absorbers, positioned to optimise the volume of the wheel arches and free up more space widthways. Its size and stiffness, adapted to a range of driving situations, make for a high-quality driving experience. The rear suspension is also fitted with hydraulic mounts to maximize comfort. 
  • Acoustic comfort
    Travelling comfort is also about acoustics. The aerodynamic styling of the New Berlingo plays a big part in reducing cabin noise. At the same time, the engine is encapsulated in an acoustic cocoon, the floorpan has received gravel-chipping protection and the cabin features a wide range of absorbent materials (cowling, dashboard, roof). Noise has been reduced to a minimum so that New Berlingo passengers enjoy the time they spend on the road.

An ergonomic and stylish driving position

The New Berlingo has an SUV-style dashboard with a premium feel that remains robust and user-friendly. Comfortably seated, the driver has all the controls, including the dashboard-mounted gear lever, within easy reach. The steering wheel is adjustable for height and reach.
The seats offer saloon-like comfort and are made from easy-maintenance material. The driver’s seat is height-adjustable and features an armrest. Drivers can easily find an excellent driving position, essential for long journeys.

Innovative and plentiful equipment 

  • Efficient driving aids
    To make everyday life easier for professionals, a wide range of equipment is available in the New Berlingo range, including rear parking assist, a speed limiter, cruise control and automatic lights (included in the Visibility Pack).
    Hillstart assist is also fitted as standard on the New Berlingo. This new function is systematically coupled with ESP, if the vehicle is so equipped. Hillstart assist automatically maintains the vehicle in position for a short period (up to two seconds after the brake is released), so that the driver has the time to calmly move a foot from the brake to the accelerator, without the vehicle moving forwards or backwards.  This function is active from a gradient of 5% (forward uphill or backward downhill). 
  • Modern and practical onboard equipment
    The New Berlingo can be fitted with an onboard computer with a multifunction screen, together with an MP3-compatible audio system with steering-wheel controls, a 5-CD stacker and a Bluetooth hands-free kit.
    The New Berlingo also ships with a 12V socket and a hand-held torch in the boot, doubling as an additional boot light. The torch provides around 45 minutes of power. It recharges as soon as it is replaced in its housing and the engine starts running.
