Pros	Cons
Enormous boot and flexible seating	Some rivals have longer new-car warranties
Affordable to buy and run	Seven-seat XL models are expensive
Sliding rear doors	- Leans a lot when cornering

Quick Summary

The third-generation Citroen Berlingo, launched in 2018 and refreshed in 2023, is a highly practical passenger car that ingeniously disguises its commercial-vehicle origins with quirky styling cues. Available as a five-seater or a seven-seat XL, it prioritises function over form, offering immense boot space (775 to 3,500 litres depending on configuration) and flexible seating, including convenient sliding rear doors. Its cabin is packed with numerous storage solutions, making it an ideal family vehicle.

While not built for sporty driving, the Berlingo’s soft suspension provides a comfortable and surprisingly quiet ride, soaking up bumps effectively despite noticeable body roll in corners. Post-facelift, it offers a range of efficient petrol (1.2-litre turbo) and diesel (1.5-litre BlueHDi) engines, with the diesels particularly praised for smoothness, performance, and excellent fuel economy. Running costs are generally low, with insurance group ratings starting from 10, making it an affordable and versatile choice for families and those needing ample cargo space.

Best for: Drivers seeking ultimate practicality, families needing extensive space and flexible seating, and those looking for an affordable and versatile vehicle with low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising sporty handling, dynamic driving characteristics, or a premium badge over sheer practicality and space.
