Et voila, the facelifted Citroen Berlingo has been unveiled. The popular van-based people carrier has received a fairly extensive refresh inspired by the recently revealed Citroen e-C3 electric supermini.<\/p>\n
The front end of the Citroen Berlingo and all-electric e-Berlingo variant have been completely redesigned to adopt the brand\u2019s new design language that debuted on the e-C3. The assertive look includes a grille and bumper formed by a single panel, bold LED lighting design and the new, retro-inspired Citroen badge that\u2019s flanked by a black strip echoing the brand\u2019s trademark double chevron logo.<\/p>\n
The rest of the Berlingo and e-Berlingo look much the same as before, although Citroen\u2019s signature \u2018airbumps\u2019 on either flank have been given a smooth new look that doesn\u2019t appear to hinder their ability to protect against dings and scrapes in supermarket car parks.<\/p>\n

Inside, the French MPV has received a new dashboard design topped with a 10-inch touchscreen, plus a new configurable 10-inch digital instrument panel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity also feature, along with a new flat-bottomed steering wheel design that incorporates the controls for the audio system and cruise control, rather than using separate stalks like its predecessor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Citroen has also added its famously soft Advanced Comfort seats to the Berlingo and e-Berlingo for the first time, with special fabric and funky three-colour upholstery \u2013 although they\u2019re only available on higher-spec models.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Berlingo and e-Berlingo will still be available in two body lengths \u2013 M (4.40 metres long) and XL (4.75 metres long), with the latter getting an extra row of seats to make it a seven-seater, or up to 4,000 litres of cargo space with all but the driver\u2019s seat folded down.<\/p>\n
Citroen\u2019s focus with the facelifted people carrier is on the fully electric e-Berlingo, which now boasts a 198-mile range from a single charge \u2013 20 per cent up on before. The range boost comes courtesy of a new 50kWh LFP (lithium ferro phosphate) battery \u2013 the same battery chemistry the e-C3 uses. It\u2019s not quite as efficient in low temperatures as more expensive power packs, but Citroen will be offering a heat pump as an optional extra, which warms the cabin and helps improve the car's battery efficiency in winter.<\/p>\n
Even without it, Citroen says the increased range is \u201cperfectly suited to the average daily mileage\u201d of e-Berlingo customers. It won\u2019t fall apart at the prospect of a road trip either, as the updated e-Berlingo features a new e-Routes application that helps organise journeys and can adapt in real time to traffic conditions, as well as how many charging points are available along your chosen route and the remaining charge in the car\u2019s battery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When the battery starts running low on juice, the e-Berlingo's 100kW maximum charging speed allows for a 0 to 80 per cent top-up in 30 minutes, while fully recharging the 50kWh battery from a typical 7.4kW home wallbox takes seven-and-a-half hours. Citroen has also added a new regenerative braking system to the e-Berlingo, with paddles behind the steering wheel for toggling between three strengths.<\/p>\n

If electricity isn\u2019t your thing, the Citroen Berlingo will be available with a selection of two PureTech petrol engines and a trio of BlueHDi diesel engines.<\/p>\n
When the facelifted Berlingo and e-Berlingo land in the UK in Spring 2024 they will be available in two trim levels \u2013 Plus and Max \u2013 along with the two body lengths. Pricing for the line-up has yet to be announced, however we don\u2019t expect much of an increase compared to the out-going models. The regular Berlingo currently starts from \u00a325,405, and entry-level e-Berlingo priced at \u00a331,225.<\/p>\n
