Berlingo Forum

I’m copying a post from piston heads French bred forum I have read 

Oh no 

Citroen have ballsed up again

Was in Citroen dealer today, they have taken delivery this week of the new Berlingo MPV they where putting it into showroom when I was dropping some parts off.

But they have decided that the petrol and diesel versions will be classed as commercials! 
That’s right, the change they said was short term due to CO2 targets by building petrol and diesel Berlingos is now permanent!

To make it more confusing the electric versions will be classed as passenger cars. 

What a mess

I didn’t take any photos but presumed other dealers will have Berlingos arriving as well, a quick auto trader check confirms - mesh cage in the back of a top of the range XTR version!

And another post…


Van insurance (more expensive)
Van road speeds (lower)
Van retention values (lower)
Van road tax (higher)
Van road tolls (some charge more for commercials)

There’s no benefit to the consumer

If you read the latest brochure, they mention it near the bottom of page 4

Needless to say no more Berlingos for me, I want a petrol or diesel but will not accept it being a commercial which makes it a headache to live with.
