Citroen Berlingo: reviews and description of model

In 1996 there was a debut of the Citroen Berlingo car , the reviews of which deserve attention at the present time. On the popularity of the machine can not speak, because already a year after the date of release, this Citroën model was recognized in Europe as the best wagon.

Citroen Berlingo is the result of the joint fruitful work of the Peugeot and Citroen concerns. This is a multifunctional combination car that is difficult to attribute to a certain class, since it is quite high for a compact ordinary limousine, for a standard van it is not enough, and for a small car it is great.

The model is presented in two bodies: with swing doors and with a rear wide hinged door. Moderate dimensions of the car positively affect its maneuverability, which is very important in the city.

Berlino is a universal car, which is equally suitable for work and leisure. Moreover, if you fold the seats behind, the useful volume of the luggage compartment will be three cubic meters. A good ride and comfort on the road are provided with the help of the rear and front suspension, equipped with two independent stabilizers of lateral stability.

Depending on the configuration and purpose of the Citroën Berlingo, owner feedback about which fully confirm the high quality of the car, is equipped with a choice of carburetor engines and diesel engines with a capacity of 75 and 60 horses, volume 2 and 1.8 liters.

The vehicle has simultaneously powerful but soft brakes, which, if the customer wants, can be supplemented with an ABS system.

The onboard heel computer receives all the necessary information and warns the driver in a timely manner about the exaggeration of the speed, the mileage remaining until the next maintenance, automatically switches on the rear wiper when the rear drive of the Citroen Berlingo is switched on.

The drivers' comments say that a high vehicle landing allows you to see everything perfectly. In the cabin there are different capacities, which can be found even on the ceiling. As a standard feature, there is heated mirrors, a headlight washer and corrector, height adjustment and power steering, immobilizer, heated front seats, driver's airbag, air conditioning and other options.

In 2004 the car was updated. Specialists of the concern decided to improve the car, although in the previous seven years it has not lost its relevance. Thus, the constructively updated machine remained the same. The model did not receive all-wheel drive and off-road new-fangled modifications, power units were also not updated.

In appearance, the main emphasis was made on a radical change in the front part of the restyling Citroen Berlingo. The reviews indicate that the wings, headlights, radiator and bumper trim have completely refreshed, have acquired a new shape. Also slightly raised the hood line. Now the driver feels the dimensions of the car better, seeing the edges of the hood. Like the previous modifications, the new Berlingo boasts a large luggage compartment. It is important that the reserve is located outside, and not in the trunk, under the floor, which eliminates the need to unload the trunk when replacing the wheel. Also appeared a lot of nice little things such as a net curtain, which you can separate the salon from the trunk.

Some changes have touched the salon. There was a more advanced instrument panel with built-in air duct deflectors and a new knob for the gearbox speed selector. The steering wheel became four-spoke, and on the top of the panel an electronic clock was installed. Everything else corresponds to the old modification.
