It's about staying in the black! We're at the point where the people who can't easily charge a car will never buy a BEV. So they need an ICE car and will for years to come.
Sales revenue is king.

Can knowledgeable car buffs explain the performance difference between the 98bhp 1.5 four cylinder and 108bhp 1.2 three cylinder petrol versions?

Looks like the 130 hp Puretech is gone.
130 hp is the minimum allowed for either petrol or diesel.

I dunno - I've had a 90, 100 and now the 130 EAT8 and that extra 30 ponies makes it a much nicer driving experience!

Was just having a conversation about that yesterday, that when I eventually get rid of mine I'll have to try and find something else. Not so then. I'd have an electric Berlingo if only the mileage I do was commuter distances but I regularly do very long journeys.
Now a 2019 K9 1.2 petrol.
Before a 2010 B9 1.6 HDi diesel.

I tow a lot. You can barely get by with the 130 hp diesel. My similar petrol van does a lot better.

Has anyone managed to order one yet?
Neither Orpington nor Wimbledon dealers know anything about it. I contacted Citroen via their website and they've responded that they can't help me and it's the dealers I should enquire from.
