- Why this practical MPV wins the space race
The 2020 Citroen Berlingo is one of the most practical MPVs you can buy, particularly when it's specified in seven-seat XL form. In this CarGurus UK review, Rebecca Jackson looks in detail at what makes the Berlingo such an appealing option - and examines some of the drawbacks of van-based MPVs, too.

Someone’s been panic buying bananas. 😂
That's why there's no toilet paper at Tesco's.
Why do most of the people who test these seem to think everything has to handle like a sports car? They are a work vehicle and very good at it. I have the Peugeot partner and it is really good at what it was built for.
I want to start reviewing vehicles from the perspective of lawn care workers, parents and nearby pedestrians.
Потому что у этих людей хорошо развит язык и больше ничего. Они не практики. Единственное, и в их болтовне можно найти что-то стоящее
Your video is probably the one that finished convincing me of buying one.
I have exactly the same one as in the video (left hand driving, different color and differente boot-no oppening rear window).
And it performs exactly as said in the video.
I've had for one year now, have mad my own removable kit for camping-touring in it, and I am still as pleased as the first day.
Great and very truthful video, thank you so much for the inspiration one year ago.
I've got one. 1.2 in perfect 90% of the time. Very zippy with quite a quick low down punch for getting away from the lights. I've managed 1000+km in a day to Austria with a full roofbox and 4 bikes on the back. It does struggle fully loaded (diesels may be better) when going up steep hills that you get on the Autobahn around Munich and into Austria. But, it still manages it, you adapt your driving. I have the XL with 7 seats which are awesome. My kids 10 and 12 fit perfectly and are happy to do a distance in them, so we can take grandma and grandpa as well. Huge boot and best value for the size. Just had a service and is was 170euros for 25000km. I thought it was a bargain. Sliding doors absolutely awesome with kids. Looks nice with tinted rear windows which is good for the kids not getting blinded by the son. Was going to buy a Caddy, but this beats it on value and performance for the price I was prepared to pay. It is not a sports car, but then you're not buying it for that. Good honest, simple and effective transport. Facilitates life. I would recommend one. The only slight downside was ours was late because of the demand and the dealer and Citroen service is a bit crap. I won't tell you the carry on to get our car, its too long and boring. Hopefully Citroen are getting it better now. Like I say, last service was efficient and cheap.
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Nikolai Maximus thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Nikolai Maximus It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Morgan Fabian no problem =)
Hey @collinsinclair8606. Do you still own the Berlingo. If yes, how is it after a few years? Thanks
I’ve had all three types of Berlingo since 2003 I have never been disappointed.
good to hear that , thinking of buying one Derek
How has the reabiliy been. I want the auto but i fear complex tech might have more problems
@@metoo3773 I mean tech generally can be a problem on any car. But in terms of the important stuff like engine Citroen is very reliable.
Berlingo’s make great mini camper vans. You can get great conversions or even just removable boot jumps for them. There is a surprising amount of room inside.
This is the car I am saving for, odd I know. A car, a van and a camper all in one.
Not sure why people so negative it is what it is,just got one as I need extra space for fishing trips to france.I think they are good cars and good value,would recommend.A very good review and spot on.
Are you still liking yours? I'm thinking of getting one. We do a lot of camping/surfing/Biking and estate cars are just too small. Had a T5 van for several years but was just too big for day to day use as well (It'll be my day car). This looks like a great compromise!!
Yes still got it and very happy so much space and never have to cram it in to get the gear in.
@@johnycarper1 Great. Think I'm going to go for it!!!
I've missed seeing your car reviews,then you return,more stunning than ever.
If I was going for an MPV, I’d definitely go for the van based ones. Love their charm and versatility. Berlingo’s seem to be the market favourite.
I love van based MPVs and am currently on the third one I have owned as a second family car. . Loads more room than car based MPVs and my latest one is very quiet and refined to drive. The ability to remove all the seats and use it as a van is great.
I would go for the Ford Tourneo Connect instead, all the seats fold into the floor and it looks better
@@Pesmog currently looking at options. Out of curiosity, what was your latest one thats quiet?
@@bendromey1865 Citroën Spacetourer diesel. The same vehicle is also sold as a Toyota, Vauxhall and Peugeot. The leather seat versions seem slightly quieter than those without. Not tried the latest VW or Merc equivalents but if they are like the older versions they are probably quite good as well.
Wow it’s so good to see you again doing these videos. Your great 😍👍
Review was a pleasure to watch.
Excellent vehicle. My brother-in-law hired one of these when the family went on holiday. Really practical, comfortable and roomy.
Loving the added length and practically of a van...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great honest review 🤪👍
We have 3 young children and my wife is pregnant with our fourth baby. Purchasing a larger car has become a necessity for our family. Our first choice was the style and beauty of the Peugeot 5008, as it is a large car with 7 seats. But to our surprise, when we went to see him in a store, we tried to visualize all the children inside with their backpacks, bicycles and baby stroller. It simply wouldn't fit. So that's when we came across the Citroen Berlingo. Definitely the best choice for our large family. The fact that the last seats slide forward even with people sitting on them gives us more luggage space, which can accommodate the baby stroller and the children's small bicycles. Great car! Great video review!
I recently swapped from a Seat Alhambra 184 dsg lux to a Vauxhall combo life 130 auto elite petrol i expected to be very miffed about the drop in power but to my amazement i am not. I know there's a 50 bhp plus torq difference but i went for the smaller combo it suited my needs and with the lighter car the power difference was not so pronounced. I moved over from diesel not due to any PC reasons but because the amount of miles i now cover it just didn't warrant a diesel and i didn't have problems with the DPF filter on the seat but the amount of miles i will do now it might have become a problem. I am very happy with the engine in mine and the 8 speed auto. i have only just swapped and covered just over 300 miles and i don't miss the Seat at all. I looked at the sister cars to mine and liked what you got on the elite and what kits comes with it and because cars have moved on the combo comes with more safety kits and toys than the seat did when it was new. I don't regret my choice and i would recommend having a look at all three versions of the car/van what ever you want to call it.
What a great review, very watchable and excellent presenting.
That's a really good review...
Nice video about the 2020 Banana Citroen Berlingo. Too bad, we can not get it in the US. Perfect size for me to travel in the US. Thank you for showing the camper van and best wishes in 2021, love and peace.
Berlingo is the Perfect Car for families especially when there is a need for children seats and baby carriage. My number 1 car when it comes to practicallity. I love it.
Excellent review!
Still a very useful review. Thanks!
This category of van is the smallest and cheapest you can go for a 190cm tall adult who intends to sleep in the car comfortably. The total length from front seats to trunk door id over 200cm
A really great review 👏
Beware the low list price. A lot of the time heavy depreciation means these are no cheaper to own than other mpv's.
The only gain in space over something like an Alhambra is in head room and lets be honest even if you're 6'4'' you're not going to have a problem in an Alhambra.
The boot behind the seats is also larger in the Seat with the drop down available below floor height, the seats fold flat, all are sliding which allows better configuration for larger/smaller people and its a lot nicer inside. Obviously the driving experience is night and day and the performance may only be a bit better on paper but throw seven people and some luggage in each and see what happens to those numbers.
I can fully understand buying a van based mpv if you need something larger (Spacetourer for example) where you get a genuine bump up in space, much larger boot and the possibility of seating for eight but in this size its really hard to make a case for these things apart from low list price and soft ride.
If you're thinking about one of these take a long look at the Spacetourer first. Its much larger inside, still fits in all normal carparks and spaces, will likely hold its money better and isn't that much more in the first place.
I love them Ive had two just wish the automatic wasnt so jerky in very low revs when you need to go very slowly such as parking..
Had the first Peugeot Partner Combi version, got the Peugeot Partner Escapade version, need to replace for ULEZ and for grandchildren's car seats. This, or Vauxhall - Opel, or Peugeot look perfect. Take rear seats out most of the time and still seat 5 large adults or fill up at timber merchants and deliver kitchen islands and heavy-duty planters.
I like that it is hushed while driving and able to take the seats out for van like space. What is the top speed and fuel consumption please
Is there a One company managing all these Car Review Pages? I see the reviewers all over! BTW love all these MPVs!!!
It appears the back 3 seats don't fully fold neatly into the floor they produce an angle. Are the seats not removable like the back 2?
That was very informative review. :) Could you do a review of a 2019/2020 1.5 dacia dokker stepway, + compare it with Citroen Berlingo, and peugeot rifter ? Thank you. :)
Hey can someone compare the experience of having the standard version vs the XL long version? I am not sure which one to choose.
Hi can you compare this type of vehicle with different company and tell which vehicle is good. 😀👍
I have previously owned series 1 and series 2 Berlingos. Due to the newly introduced 'clean air zone' regulations in my city I bought in haste a, (7-seater), series 3 Peugeot Rifter Long, a very similar vehicle to the Berlingo XL. Unlike my previous Berlingos I now cannot get it into either of my two garages without removing the roof bars and backing the van hard against the back wall.
Please beware that these latest vehicles are considerably larger externally than their two predecessors.
When I change my Seat Alhambra in a couple of years time I shall certainly be considering one of these or its Peugeot cousin - but I require electric seat movement on the front seats and this stopped me a year ago when I looked at the short berlingo and a spacetourer.
Seat Alhambra is a great car, sad they discontinued it
I'm in love
Does it have the same suspention as the C5 Aircross please?
Good review thanks. Am looking from a mobility perspective as need to carry an electric wheelchair, & fishing equipment but being relatively young I think I'm going to go with the Rifter GT Line for it's nicer style and comfort for similar space, and also very importantly the lay flat seat capabilities of the Rifter compared to the cumbersome method of the Berlingo seat adjustment. There's a kind of clumsiness to the Berlingo in comparison with the Rifter I.m.o.
I were thinking to buy like this one
fantastic
This video is bananas, you need a vehicle this size to carry all the bananas
Nice passion Van
A car that benefitted from the Clarkson factor. If I was a travelling musician with a band, this'll be my first choice of vehicle. Also, I love the callback to Rebecca's addiction to bananas!
Love this ad (for a change). The Bananas made it. lol. Also, like the car. xx
I’ve a grand Picasso with 4 children. It’s not big enough for 4 children so now looking at this or a spacetour which is bigger still
I love it that you are keeping the banana theme going, but do miss you not saying 'and I'm only five foot four and a half'.
Europe has this, while here in the USA , we have pickup trucks. I find it hard to believe someone like Rebecca would buy or drive one.
Danke dir
The answer to whether you buy a Citroen Berlingo is YES because it is very practical and very useful. Why would we say that well we own 2 Berlingo s one is a2023 62 plated and the 0ther a 2020 70 plated . So you could say we like them
Berlingo for smart people who want to have for the money they put in a car.
The best ratio volume/price.
Waw its beauty
Very nice indeed! (Berlingo’s not bad either!).
Where the cup holder for front passenger
Yes
Nice video...how many price in car.. i like it car
Massively scoping out the pure electric version of this. 7 seats, rapid charging, 3 phase AC - lurverly!
You get a berlingo because you need one, not because you want one. They're fairly tough& parts are cheap. Paying bmw tax on parts& service gets old. Saves having to own a car and a van.
Exactly. We're looking at ordering one next week. There are far more desirable new cars out there, but I'm not forking out for something to impress the neighbours. Although, they'll all be wanting a lift back from IKEA or a tip-run doing....
This is definitely the best MPV on sale now
I want this thing So badd. I certainly dont need it as i drive alone. :D but the damn spacious feeling. Omg. It cures my claustrophobia.
Intéressant
That missing corner of window would do my head in 😂
2020 Citroen Berlingo XL Review
Number plate: KS68 BVX
Ladies and Gentelmen, we got 'em
The Ford Grand Tourneo Connect is similar, but it's seats all fold into the floor
I quess it's about the structure of the floor. Berlingo's floor may be on a lower level, so you can't fold seats into the floor. On the other hand you will get some extra space compared to Grand Tourneo.
White does nothing to hide it's van origins and doesn't help with making it look awkward or bulbous. We're looking at ordering one next week, a nice metallic hue ought to disguise it a tad. Will avoid red too, otherwise the neighbours will be asking if I've got any parcels for them!
It's blue
I don't think metallic paint will hide the hideous looks of it 😂...a large tarpaulin maybe😂
Someones in Denial, over their Bana Problem... Been there Bro!
PSA needs to offer this as an EV; there seems to be enough space under the floor for a battery pack. Perhaps they could use a similar motor and battery pack as in the eCorsa (100 kW, 50 kWh, 205 mile range).
Great value cars if underpowered at max 130bhp, The Toyota version is worth a look as it comes with a much better warranty even though it’s made in the same mainland Europe factory
I wish these awesome cars sold stateside :(
This can be 5 or 7 seater. Part of the review and any other mov reviews should be done laden
the bananas were a surprise!
In 6 years I've done 98,561 miles in my Berlingo II 1.6 HDI and it's never let me down - I'm thinking it may be time for a change as the clutch is high and she's coming up to time for a cam belt soon... Decision I'm struggling to make - keep going and brace for major maintenance - Replace with identical low mileage one or go for a Berlingo III... And if I take the last option and buy new is it time to go electric? What ever I decide, it's going to be a Berlingo.
I don't care how it looks. I don't buy a car to look at or for other people to look at. I want space for my mountain bikes, wood, lawn mowers etc. I would like economy and comfort. Love the high seating position. Had a mk1 diesel and currently a mk2 diesel. The electric version would be great but with a (max?) range of 170 miles its not yet a good option for me.
It´s def the best minivan at the whole ww market. Pricewise in comparsion to the delievered goodies. In quality - my berlingp is now 9 yrs old, has run 160.000 without any problems. 1st battery, 1 exhaust. The next belingo is coming next year due to the fact of regulatories in the worst european country - germany. Foregt all the VW, Ford and other stuff!!!
What kind of regulations in Germany next year? Can you explain me in more detail please?
@@frankyduschek3366 This tweet is now 1 yr old and the exhaust regulations (Euro6d temp) is present. But no Berlingo has any problems with it
You could even store bananas under the hood
Race driver behind the wheel of a van !?! How improbable is that ? Much to our surprise - not at all ! And with quite accomplished review at that !
You should see Kimi Raikkonen's daily
I would like to make in depth review of this girl
Need an electric variant.
Funny how presenters still push diesels when you pay say a 5 year lease and by then most european countrys will have banned them, so rest value will be close to zero...
@@MartinLV. BS. Diesels will always be more efficient than petrol engines. Otherwise you would have petrol powered ships, locomotives etc. In fact, diesel is also cleaner in practice, especially when using paraffinic fuel.
How kin much, I will ave to save for this one.
Do you have to be bananas to buy a Berlingo ??
What's the mpg like on the XL version ?
I’ve got one of these with manual gearbox and 130 HP I get between mid 20s to low 60s mpg depending on how I drive it. Hope this helps
@@d13cab that's a pretty big gap lol, do you have an idea of your city/highway/combined figures?
@@romainj9520 I'm only going from the app on my phone, I get about 45-50mpg
@@d13cab thanks!
Too bad 130 KM EAT8 diesel is no longer available in the EU.
Emissions...
Whats the deal with the bananas...
BANANAS!!!
No auto with petrol engine yet?
It does have petrol engines.
Very spacious 👍 for Westerners. For Indians ?
The ultimate Sprog and bananna carrier..... :(
Is the bananas comes with the offer
I nearly bought one of these, I thought the peugeot was a better car.
The Peugeot definitely looks less wanky
Romain J my thoughts completely, but the wife couldn’t live with funny wee steering wheel.
Citroen badge very scary some really strange things never sorted
goddamit i want this. unfortunately i live in the U.S
This car and your voice reminds me of fake taxi
Your reviews are very nice and polish pleasure to watch it’s the opposite to you colleague Matt.
@The Stig's English cousin Yes, but maybe because of the childish audience. Just look at the comments
Here is the fault. 3rd row almost grounded on same level as 2nd row seat height. This means very very less 3rd row seat height its for kids.
Wel come to india
Nice voice
Do the Bananas come with the car? 🤔
Damn you, VW!...and your never-produced camper concepts!
Where can I buy one
इन्डियन प्राईज
great car for bananas!
Somebody likes their bananas...
Oooo... A Citroen Berlingo XL review... Mmmmm... I think I'm going to go out and buy one right now...
Oh! Hang on! Stop. I don't want to buy one. I still have pulse and a life to lead :-))...
I have got a Vauxhall combo because i needed the space. I have also got a 2011 mx5 and a Can Am spyder rt to keep the pulse beating and on the plus side if i drop dead my son can take me on my last journey in the combo because me pine box will fit in and save money on an funeral car win win.
We're seriously considering one. I'm buying a car for us and our all our gear, not to impress the neighbours or to convince myself that I could pull a bird half my age.
@@6ettinold - Good luck with pulling that 35 year old "bird". I'd say go for it :-))...
Only joshing. I know that "vans" like this are good gear shifters. I used to have a Delica some years ago. Used it daily. But it's main use was for carting my fishing gear to inaccessible places that you'd never get to with 2wd. But the Delica was a tad different as it had Mitsubishis stunning 4wd running gear which made off roading a real doddle. Sadly, not so much with these vans though. Which is a shame.
6ettinold I am very impressed with the car I am not sure what extras you would get between the three models. Looking at the Peugeot top of the range it’s very well equipped but the Vauxhall’s elite model got all the bits I need. All three models the underpinnings are the same it’s just what dress you need the car to come in to make it suit your needs.
