The most modified version of Citroen Berlingo was launched in the UK van market in the year 2008. However, 2015 was the year when the entire series got a facelift with advanced Euro 6 compatible diesel engines and superior looks. On the equipment side, there has been a step up as part of a plan to help Citroen Berlingo lease vans compete with its competitors, including Ford Transit lease vans and Volkswagen Caddy.
Being available in two variants of L1 and L2, Berlingo became one of the high versatility multi-space car-like vehicles adorning the streets of the UK. Clients who are thinking of leasing this vehicle will get a 94bhp 1.6 litre VTi petrol engine. In fact, they also get to experience an all-electric version but these high specifications are restricted to only L1 body style. Many of you will stick to the diesel models, which mean you will get a 74bhp from 1.6 litre HDi common rail injection. However the best part of all these models is that they are all equipped with the latest Euro6 blueHDi engine that ensures better conservation of fuels and lower emission levels.
The specialty of Euro6 engine is the use of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to reduce the levels of emissions to its minimum. Irrespective of bhp specifications, engines come with advanced 6 speed manual gearbox instead of 5-speed gearboxes. In the high-end models, you can easily sense better ground clearance and innovative electronic traction control system, though all Berlingos are well-equipped and are installed with Teletrac Smartnav navigation and Trackstar vehicle tracking system. Top spec models also get to enjoy 7 inch touch-screen sat-nav.
The interiors of this most sought after van is the roomiest and most spacious as compared to its competitors. A driver of six feet height can sit comfortably and drive smoothly, without worrying about space crunch. However, limited seat travel and narrow legroom reflects problems faced by very tall individuals. This problem can be mainly felt during long hauls but for shorter travels, Berlingo is just perfect. The entire seating set-up with extra seating flexibility is ideal for short journeys.
In terms of safety and reliability, Citroen Berlingo lease vans are equipped with Electronic Stability Control along with Hill Start Assist, driver’s airbag and ABS. Although it is not the highest quality security specifications yet it is quite fulfilling and standardized. The vans are also equipped with central locking with remote controls and deadlocks in all LX models. Alarm system is optional in the all the models, so if you are really eager to install it you can do it.
Hence, from the above discussion it is clear that Berlingo seems to have fair reliability record due to durable mechanical parts and better services. The owners or leasing clients who are driving these van model never complaint about any serious problems, so it is proved to be one of the most efficient leasing vans in the market of the UK.
