The Citroen Berlingo is continuing to be a popular choice for fleet operators. The Berlingo has recently been awarded the Fleet Vans best in class trophy and the car maker, Citroen, reports that the Berlingo accounts for 49.7% of the carmakers sales and Citroen lease contracts.
The Citroen Berlingo has recently undergone extensive modification with many new features that will certainly ensure that this van continues to be a firm favourite with fleet managers and recreational van users alike.
There are actually two distinct versions of the Berlingo van available in the United Kingdom. These are the L1 and L2. The L1 version of the Berlingo has been extended in length by a full 240mm and widened by 80mm. A key new modification is the increased load area and carrying capacity. You can now fold down the passenger seat to extend the load area even further making it ideal for those longer items.
The recent modifications are not limited to the vans carrying capacity. The revised Berlingo design is more modern, stylish and aerodynamic which results in far less noise when on the road. Both the headlights and the rear lights have been moved to lessen the risk of minor damage and the windscreen has been enlarged providing improved visibility. Internally there is even more storage space including a passenger side glove compartment and larger door pockets.
But its the Berlingo LX that presents one of the most outstanding new features for a van of this size. The new feature is called Extenso Seating and it provides a useful third seat in between the front two. The Berlingo is the only van in its class to offer this outstanding three seat feature.
The standard Citroen Berlingo is full of features that you would not normally find as standard in vans in its class or price range. These include heated wing mirrors, electric windows and of course a good radio and CD player.
You may expect a van packed with these excellent features to be expensive. But this van is very competitively priced. You can get a Citroen van lease deal from as little as £170 per month with various options including van lease purchase.
