Citroen Berlingo Multispace

Multi Space Mod Apk – Dual App & Multiple Account Download The original Citroen Berlingo was a bit of a pioneer — at least in the UK. Although van-based MPVs have been popular with Continental families on a budget for decades, the original Berlingo was a bit of a surprise hit for Citroën when it brought the genre to the UK back in 1998.

MPVs based on commercial vehicles do not hold the highest of ranks in the pantheon of people carriers, though. They must provide simple, rugged and practical family transport, but their no-frills nature means that anything more than a token nod to luxury or refinement is unnecessary, if not undesirable.

This Citroën Berlingo Multispace is still based on a light commercial vehicle – the Citroën Berlingo/Peugeot Partner van – but that car uses the same basic platform architecture and drivetrains as the Citroën Citroen C4 and Peugeot 308 hatchbacks. This should mean higher levels of comfort, refinement and dynamic than we’ve seen before in a van-based people carrier.

The question is, does this bigger, more sophisticated Berlingo Multispace live up to the promise of greater comfort, refinement and dynamic ability that its more sophisticated engineering background suggests? And can it still fulfil its core role as a good-value, practical, utilitarian family holdall, especially in a ever-growing segment, with the Ford Tourneo Connect and Volkswagen Caddy Life both making headway.

Entry-level Berlingo Multispaces come with a 93bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine or the perky 108bhp turbocharged 1.2-litre PureTech unit, although most buyers will rightly plump for a diesel. There’s a choice of two diesels, all 1.6-litre in capacity, but with outputs of 99 and 118bhp. Trim levels are limited to just Feel and Flair.

Citroen Berlingo review

Crucially, it’s much better to drive than before and while it’s not quite as fun as most rival family cars, it’s refined and reasonably comfortable.

Upon release in 1996, the Citroen Berlingo took a different approach to its MPV rivals. While most were developed from the ground up to be cars first and foremost, the Citroen used more humble van underpinnings. Adding windows and seats to a popular commercial vehicle made for a rugged, simple and affordable alternative to the mainstream.

This ‘van with windows’ formula is one that Citroen continues to employ, with rivals like the (closely related) Vauxhall Combo Life and Volkswagen Caddy Life also following a similar recipe. Citroen has sold 3.3 million units in the last two decades and the Berlingo remains Citroen’s second-biggest seller worldwide (behind the C3).

The third generation model is more car-like than ever, though: under the skin it’s a mix of the old Berlingo and PSA’s latest EMP2 platform – underpinnings used by the likes of the Peugeot 3008 and the Citroen C5 Aircross. The result is vastly improved refinement, infotainment and safety tech compared to its predecessor.

But it’s practicality where the Citroen Berlingo has always shone, and the good news is that it’s now more useful than ever. The boxy exterior shape translates into fantastic passenger and boot space, while deep cubbies, a huge glovebox and a host of other clever storage spaces shows that genuine thought has been invested in the cabin.

There are two body styles to choose from: the M model is the standard model, while the XL measures 35cm longer – enough space for a third row of seats, taking the total from five to seven. There are three trim levels to choose from: Feel, and the better-equipped Flair and the range-topping Flair XTR.

The Berlingo competes against the likes of the Fiat Doblo Passenger and Volkswagen Caddy Life, but its closest rivals come from within the PSA brand: the Berlingo, Peugeot Rifter and the Vauxhall Combo Life are – minor cosmetic differences aside – close to identical. In other words, choosing between the three should really come down to money: we recommend choosing whichever of the three is offered with the most competitive deal at the time.

More obvious rivals aside from the Partner include the Fiat Doblo MPV which is also van based and offers an interior that matches the Multispace internal dimensions. If you want something that’s more refined and car-like to drive, the Multispace budget limitation probably means you’ll be looking at something smaller – perhaps the Kia Venga or Hyundai ix20 mini MPVs.

There’s no doubting the attractiveness of the Multispace price, or its utility value as family transport. Choosing one is a relatively simple business too, as there are only two trim levels and three engines to pick from.

The entry-level Multispace Feel has a relatively basic spec and comes with five seats only, but you do get air conditioning, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. The Multispace Flair adds the extra row of seats, plus automatic climate control, remote locking, a 7-inch touchscreen, roof bars, alloy wheels, plus the options of an active safety pack including city brake and auto lights and wipers, and sat-nav.
