Citroen Belingo
The Berlingo is an affordable alternative to a full blown MPV. The car’s fuel economy is not the greatest, but the car’s low purchase price is very appealing and the car should deliver decent insurance rates as well.
The Citroen Berlingo cabin provides good space. Legroom is somewhat limited for larger feet, but elbow and headroom is good. Space is more limited around the clutch, but average size passengers should find that cabin room is adequate.
The Belingo controls and dials are straightforward and easy to use. The controls and displays are large and function well. Everything is logically located and easy to find, some displays are difficult to read in bright light.
The cabin provides decent levels of comfort with adjustable and supportive seats. Cabin space is good and should be adequate for most passengers. The front footwells can be a little crowded for passengers with larger feet. The Berlingo provides excellent levels of comfort.
The Berlingo provides good access. The doors provide easy access and egress to the car’s cabin. The car’s boot is a good size and the large boot aperture provides good access for easy loading and unloading.
Parking the Citroen Berlingo is not complicated. The car’s high drive position and all-round good visibility makes it a lot easier to park. The car’s large side mirrors help with rear visibility and the car’s steering is light at low speeds

Citroen Belingo
The Citroen Berlingo delivers a comfortable ride, and wasn’t designed for performance. Care must be taken when selecting an engine. The petrol versions performed similar to the diesel option. This more powerful diesel’s extra weight makes the best of the revised suspension, giving an added measure of grip in both cornering and braking, with little firming up over the bumps and good steering. The diesel is disappointing as far as acceleration and fuel consumption are concerned.
This is an excellent family vehicle. The car offers enough cabin space and seating to accommodate a family comfortably. The versatility on hand is ideal for family life and the car’s boot will adequately accommodate most family related items.
The Berlingo is an unlikely first car. It is too large and is not likely to appeal to most first time car buyers. There are more stylish and appealing first cars available.
Although the French have never had the greatest reputation for craftsmanship things are changing. The Berlingo is reliable, and is well constructed. The quality of the materials used in the car’s cabin is decent and the selling price is excellent. The Berlingo provides good value for money.
