"The Citroen Berlingo Multispace can not be great to look at, or by car, but it is much cheaper and at least as practical as most MPVs. "
The Citroen Berlingo Multispace is a van-based MPV offer more capacity than almost all of your money carries other car. The formula - also used by the Peugeot Partner Tepee and Fiat Doblo - is simple: take a small commercial van, then add additional windows and seats before the general public as a people carrier offers
The advantages. this approach relate to price and space of van underpinnings with, not associated with a completely new car or offer the quality and luxury with a normal MPV Citroen to develop, helps to keep costs down. Secondly, because the Berlingo van is inherently large and spacious, the Berlingo Multispace up to seven people -. Or five plus a heavy amount of luggage
There is, as always, a catch, though: because it really is a van, the Berlingo Multispace is not as smooth, quiet or fast as a normal car. Further, to be based on a commercial vehicle, means that, while it feels pretty good assembled inside, the dashboard plastics are decided scratchy, hard and low rents. Many car buyers have to expect a certain level of perceived quality and sophistication in recent years; if you fall into this broad category, can not address the Berlingo Multispace. In this budget but your alternatives are used to people carrier or small MPV like the Kia Venga, the Nissan Note or Hyundai ix20.

Citroen offers the Berlingo Multispace with two gasoline engines and a 1.6-liter diesel, with three power levels. The entry 94bhp 1.6-liter petrol is in terms of economy and performance in order - but not more than okay. It delivers 44.1mpg, costs £ 145 per year in road tax and takes 12.8 seconds from 0-62mph to go.
The spending an extra £ 2,000 or so to get a higher trim level and the 108bhp turbocharged 1.2-liter petrol engine. As a result, the 0-62mph time reduced by half a second or so, while economy improves to 55mpg and road tax is lowered to £ 30 per year with this engine.
The diesel range kicks of the BlueHDi 75 1.6-liter engine. While these 65.7mpg returns and costs just £ 30 in annual road tax, it's ponderously slow to go under 15.1 seconds from 0-62mph. The mid-range diesel BlueHDi 100 is the one to go, because it gets the Berlingo Multispace from 0-62mph in a more reasonable 12.4 seconds and returns almost 70mpg when with Citroen start-stop system (so-called S & S ) paired. It is worth mentioning, however, that if you choose this engine you nearly £ 4,000 must add to the Berlingo basic price tag. The strongest BlueHDi 0 diesel engine nor the fuel consumption in the mid-60s achieved, but at a cost of nearly £ 20,000, it undermines the Berlingo raison d'etre something.

Depending on your expectations, can you pleasantly surprised by the way be surprised at the Berlingo Multispace behaves on the road. There is no hot hatchback, of course, but bumps and lumps are absorbed quite competently while body lean - although present - well is reasonably controlled in curves. Things are a little less enticing on the highway, though, where the high roofline of the Berlingo generated a fair bit of wind noise; This is exacerbated by the deep interior
Inside again, it is a matter of perspective. Think of the Berlingo Multispace MPV as normal and you can chose on the inner plastic Citroen, be surprised. Enter the price tag in mind, though, and overall interior quality is more than reasonable. One area where the Berlingo Multispace has unimpeachable credentials, is place: access peerless thanks to the sliding rear doors, footwell is huge, as it is so large that smaller adults almost able to get up there. The boot is similarly huge (to avoid the optional third seat row as long as you), while a number of additional memory solutions such as a series of ceiling cubbies practicality even increase further.
With respect to the trimming the entry-level Berlingo Multispace touch is best avoided if you are looking for the ultimate thriftiness. This model is available only with the base 1.6-liter petrol engine and comes with electric windows, but little else. Feel trim gets you air conditioning and cruise control, while feeling Edition comes with alloy wheels and a split-opening tailgate. XTR trim the top of the range, but as the most powerful engine, this undermines the price-conscious values of Berlingo something
If you already mentioned the victims are satisfied, the Berlingo Multispace requires more. It only scored three out of five stars in the Euro NCAP crash safety tests. This is not a catastrophic result, but it is not very large impressive, either, and is further evidence of the benefits of modern car design conveys, but as a modern van design. Reliability is a similar mixed bag: while repairs cheaply, thanks to the support of the unpretentious Berlingo should not inspire a 127th place result in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey a huge amount of confidence.
