MPVs will always be a better alternative than any SUV for anyone who want a really good car, and not a show-off-machine. Can't understand this infernal SUV-hype of the masses - get over it, will you!
The Berlingo is a very pleasant little van! Roomy, flexible, comfy, good lookin', fuel efficient, it checks so many boxes. it's just too bad this car isn't sold in The States... Great review Rebecca and congrats on the bump!
Err, should have gone to specsavers....or you mean for an mpv? This is the first MPV video I've watched, but I'll be looking at buying one, so better start getting used to the looks.
I have a 2007 berlingo and am single, still a great car for everything. Camping, biking, skip runs.people always want to borrow it. I want one of these but they are so expensive now
@@wingit4031 120000miles is needing new clutch. Nothing other than service parts. Cam belt x2 , oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, brake discs pads x2and shoes. Exhaust back box. A new battery. Also changed suspension drop links twice @£30 each time. Totally reliable other than scheduled maintenance on 15 yrs car
I have converted my second gen Berlingo to an occasional camper with all lift out fittings (Car and camper - best of both) - I just looked at this video because was considering getting a new one, having had 5 years of high milage, trouble free motoring (Starting to show her age after 22k miles a year for 5 years). The rear seats on this new version are no longer lift out units. The dropped floor space is very useful and I think filling that with folded seat is a backwards step. Think I shall keep my Blingy for many more years and spend some money on her (It's just been tyres, fuel and routine servicing only so far). Great car.
@@yannikoloff7659 I bought a second hand Bootjump for mine (little more expensive than making my own in just materials) makes an excellent occasional camper as well as retaining all five seats.
One retrograde step with the more modern Berlingos (I have a 2012 model) is that the front door window controls have been moved from the centre console onto the doors themselves, so that a driver cannot operate the passenger side window, which I have occasionally found useful. Other than that it is an absolutely brilliant car.
weird that people have an aversion to the van shape, I couldn't care less if looked like a brick-practicality is all that matters [to me]. Hope they've sorted the self disintegrating rear axle which cost me best part of 1k to replace in my 07 Peugeot partner combi.
It's annoying me that she mentions the Vauxhall Combo and Peugeot Rifter a few times but doesn't address the fact that they're all badge engineered version of the same vehicle... PSA Group dominating the sector that, arguably, they created.
If you are happy to observe speed limits and respect other people's right of way, and moreover not image conscious, a Citroen does exactly the same things as a Bugatti or Ferrari and will not get you there any slower.
Can you please do a review and comparison between these six small cargo vans. Citroen Berlingo, Volkswagen Caddy, Fiat Doblo, Ford Transit Connect, Renault Kangoo and Peugeot Partner. All vans in manual transmission, preferably in diesel. Thank you! 🙏
Fits three abroad, with comfort? Well if you are Rebecca’s size, perhaps.... but she didn’t do a convincing job of demonstrating that three full size adults will fit comfortably. (six foot plus 90kg blokes.... yes that is pretty average now). Why have this type of car unless it can fit seven with ample luggage? Almost none of them can and they are not bargains either. If you get any full size van of almost any make, (SWB 5m), with 7/8 seats, at two/three years old, 120bhp diesel, they are magic everywhere...
I am nine years old but I know that the citroen and other French cars like Peugeot citroen and more French cars have bad electronics but I do like this car
I've test driven the automatic version and it handles pretty well. Not too wallowy but acceleration is bad from a start. Almost got squashed on a roundabout even with foot on the floor; it's got a rev limiter which doesn't help.
PSA needs to offerthis 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).
Looks very safe when she operates the touch screen with her right hand. Imagine doing that at 70mph. And the phone in the other hand of course, texting. Never understood why these screens? You can’ t operate while driving . Or you Shouldn’t .
Oh thats right, she was the banana girl! Every hidden compartment had a banana, looks like she finally managed to get pregnant from one. Took her several chassis to get there...
Looks like your pregnant Rebecca. Congratulations! As regards to the Berlingo I would think you would need a fairly substantial family, dogs and so on to have a reason for buying it.
I drove the Vauxhall and it drove like a pregnant cow, steering wasn't precise at all and the bulky dashboard and front didn't help visibility. The gearbox was horrible, too. After my first impression the test drive was a disappointment. I'd rather get a van.
Wipe clean dash , in other words cheap hard plastic. In my opinion it lets the car down badly. If these cars had a decent dash I would have bought the rifter.
@@scotiajinker8392 try telling that to a 2 year old... Good luck. Why on earth would you want plush plastics. They're just going to get ruined. Wipe clean and hard wearing plastic are the best for this type of vehicle.
Matthew Douglas seriously you can’t control a 2yo? Why won’t I want a nice interior? I would be paying over £20k for God’s sake , that’s why I would want a nice interior. The plastic on this car the should be priced at £15k
I don't consider the touch of the interior important untill £30.k. I personally think the interior looks good. Certainly an improvement over the outgoing model.
As owner of the Dacia Dokker (with all extras available at the time) I still strongly consider the new Berlingo. Of course a full spec new Dacia costs half of a full spec Berlingo .. but thinking of my "other" driver now, the automatic parking, front and side sensors and other extras available will pay themselves off in no time ;)
@@andymccabe6712 its a berlingo van dressed up to be a family car, im sorry but its still a Van. What family man would seriously want that on their drive over an suv nobody. Its only appeal has been to the elderly and motabilty market true fact.
@@interceptor-ss8kb because its alot cheaper to buy this than a suv ? and u put the seats down its an actual van and u can carry a whole pallet of bricks ... i would buy my berlingo a second time without hesitation.
Keep on dreaming and what did you expect a bmw and a boy racer? These cars are well designed with strong engines and do what they supposed to do carry people and luggage.
citroen are scamers . my fuel pump is broke and now i find they installed the fuel pump under the fuel tank and i cant get there . now i have an unecessary problem . Citroen never again .
@@luzsol1609 But how does that make Citroën scammers? And what do you mean chop the metal? What metal? The rear floor? Drop the fuel tank down instead...
+Scotia this cars aren't made by ignorant people they are made and design by engineers. they did put the pump in a place with no acess and they no it will be necessary to replace at some time . they are not innocent they made it to difficult the continued use of the product they design. this is a scam if some poor people would do a scam like this would go to jail . but they are so rich and powerfull so is normal and we have to acept . until we put some yelow vest an go violent .
@@luzsol1609 There's a thousand and one things taken into consideration when designing a car. Cost effectiveness, ease of manufacture, safety, space constraints to name but a few. To suggest that the fuel pump was made deliberately difficult by some sort of illuminati is frankly, ridiculous.

And again, drop the fuel tank out of the car and you won't need to cut the floor.
They always get bought by people that don't know how to drive. Anyway... What Citroen has done is putting the uglyst girl of town in a designer outfit and call it sexy. It isn't, it never will be. This is a van loaded with a bit too much French way of thinkinng...
You can fit the longest scarves in there as well.
Clever! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👌
The scarve is to hide her bump. The lovely Rebecca is with child.
Shame the numb needs hiding. It should be celebrated.
Congrats Rebecca
MPVs will always be a better alternative than any SUV for anyone who want a really good car, and not a show-off-machine. Can't understand this infernal SUV-hype of the masses - get over it, will you!
The Belingo is hugely impressive, and if I was in the market for a car of that type it would be the one I would go for.
Citröen knows design. They made an MPV and embraced the design and added a touch of futuristic design.
I'm in love with the seats.
I've just ordered a Berlingo 😊 quite looking forward to getting it now. Congratulations on the baby Rebecca my wife is also expecting! xx
so,what is your experience so far?
How is your Berlingo after 4 years please? Thinking of buying one.
Regards.

India. Available.
An impressive vehicle, looks great with the new front end, tech options and we were also pleasantly surprised with how it drove too.

@@philipporter4433 Are you saying it’s not a vehicle?
@@PlanetautoUK No not at all. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. MPV's aren't the prettiest, but they certainly have utility.
@@philipporter4433 in which case we are completely perplexed by your first comment
I love the shape of the Berlingo and Rifter.
I have the Citroen Berlingo longversion from 2019. Benzin. And i just Love driving the Card. Very confortable. I Love it.
My parents got one, and it is just super impressive across the range. I am on now on the market for one as well as it is a car fit for all purposes
Congrats for your pregnancy, Becky 🙏🏽

That should make a good camper conversion.
Exactly what I was thinking
No it's not. Choose a original Berlingo van for that.You don't wanna pay for car conversion to convert it to camper after that

Well done review. Rebeacca maybe this particular car, soon will be the right one for you?
I'm starting to like the Berlingo..

They may not look cool... but it’s the most practical vehicle I have owned.will replace my mk 2 for this soon!

Great Video Review. Looking forward to the Video Reviews during 2019
Pour votre futur BÉBÉ, Ce véhicule semble parfait pour vous , Chère Rebecca !.
Sincères Compliments .
First viewer!! 😊, Merry Christmas WHAT CAR! 🎅
I love my Berlingo.
Three weeks as I am owner of this excellent car ! Even color is the same...
Shouldn't post clear view licence plate ... get a cover and protect that
3:13, "when you use it, it's quite tricky to use".
Welcome back Rebecca 👍
Tomorrow I will order exactly such one for me....
That's my car. I've bought exactly such one.
Can you please do a review and comparison between these six small cargo vans.
Citroen Berlingo, Volkswagen Caddy, Fiat Doblo, Ford Transit Connect, Renault Kangoo and Peugeot Partner.
All vans in manual transmission, preferably in diesel.
Thank you! 🙏
TOYOTA,take a look with the PROACE VERSO CITY.5 years warranty-berlingo and the others from PSA 3years.

Vans are more expensive. And the long version can fit more.
In Mexico this car is the Peugeot Parter Tepee
No one cares.
She called a wine bottle water💀
your are talking about a family car, you should show the space with 7 sets set.
Flippin hell I flippin love it man, - all over this I am m8
I am nine years old but I know that the citroen and other French cars like Peugeot citroen and more French cars have bad electronics but I do like this car
Not all. My berlingo is 17yrs old not a single problem
But there's a 100 & 130 Bhp Hdi engine as well.
I've test driven the automatic version and it handles pretty well. Not too wallowy but acceleration is bad from a start. Almost got squashed on a roundabout even with foot on the floor; it's got a rev limiter which doesn't help.
great car, but i prefer the Rifter :)
Why so?
I prefer the PROACE city verso
PSA needs to offerthis 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).
yes i was thinking the same
I love her so much, she so cool
You need to get out more lol
The new Pontiac Aztec! And, they said it was too ugly to last.
Scarves and gowns, guys, scarves and gowns
I prefer the Peugoet Rifter
Looks very safe when she operates the touch screen with her right hand. Imagine doing that at 70mph. And the phone in the other hand of course, texting. Never understood why these screens? You can’ t operate while driving . Or you Shouldn’t .
True mpg for the 1.5 diesel I reckon about 50mpg.Just be honest about the mileage figures correct me if i am wrong.
I’m getting 54mpg from my 10 year old 1.6 HDi
@@GadgetMart same here when i had mine
I get 49mpg from my 92bhp hdi
If you guys think that this is among the best suvs,,then check out Toyota alphard or velfire then you would know how beautiful can a mpv look like...
🤢 🤮🤢 🤮🤢 🤮 these Toyotas look nice? Really?
Yes. But less bootspace
Rebecca reviewed same car in 2012 when she wasn't up the duff.
Oh thats right, she was the banana girl! Every hidden compartment had a banana, looks like she finally managed to get pregnant from one. Took her several chassis to get there...
Plz change the back side design of this car..
I'd rather take the C4 Picasso / Spacetourer.
❤️❤️love it
How many seats is the Berlingo car?
There are five seats but if you want a longer wheelbase version, the Grand Berlingo you'll get seven seats
@@F1Kamel_1992 it’s not called a grand Berlingo 😂
invacar blue? nice
4:53 Rebecca pregnant?
Oracle_Max yeah she is
no too much food/cake for Xmas
stephen10 this is probably pre recorded so no food and cake
Oracle_Max that’s a food baby
Its twins!!
Is that Lenny Kravitz’s scarf ?
She's going to be great mum
The size of that scarf, it'll double as a papoose in a few months ...
Shame the seats won't fold all the way flat
Intéressant
Tie that scarf up inside and you'll have a hammock
Citroen
Quirky for a people carrier lol
Is that the world's biggest scarf?
Thank F*** for that, the lovely Rebecca has finally lost the "sing song" presentation style, and is now watchable
Who's been breading this one
വാവ നെ കാതിരിക് ആണലോ ..🙏🏻
Why use malayalam here🤣
Loads of space to fill up with rubbish You can even put Bananas in the side to go rotton! Lovely
Is it an actual dime? Is it dime the dog? Or is it a dime bag? Will never find out
I wish you’d started with a tour of the vehicle with less of the waffly intro...
agree
Why on earth isn’t there a power outlet at the back seats? Don’t French kids use iPads?
You don't need Ipads if you are a good parent
@@CosgroveNotts What nonsense. Has nothing to do with being a good parent.
Luckily the Rifter has a USB power outlet.
