Affordable to buy and run	Seven-seat XL models are expensive

Quick Summary

The third-generation Citroen Berlingo, launched in 2018 and refreshed in 2023, is a highly practical van-based people carrier. It cleverly disguises its commercial origins with quirky styling cues from Citroen's passenger cars, offering a unique blend of family functionality and distinctive design. Available as a five or seven-seater, its enormous boot (775 litres to 3,500 litres with seats folded) and flexible seating arrangements, including sliding rear doors, make it exceptionally versatile for families or those needing significant cargo space.

Despite its boxy profile, the Berlingo offers a surprisingly comfortable and quiet ride, with soft suspension effectively absorbing road imperfections. While it exhibits body roll in corners, it prioritises comfort over sportiness, providing a pleasant driving experience at everyday speeds. A range of efficient petrol and diesel engines are available, with diesels offering excellent fuel economy. Inside, it boasts extensive storage solutions, a 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and robust safety features, all contributing to its appeal as an affordable and sensible family car with low running costs.

Best for: Families needing huge space and flexibility, budget-conscious buyers, those who value practicality over driving dynamics, and buyers seeking low running costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising sporty handling, those who prefer premium badge appeal, or buyers seeking a longer new-car warranty.
