Citroën is renewing its iconic ë-Berlingo model and taking it to a whole new level. With its modern, expressive styling coming from its new front end, ë-Berlingo offers an on-board experience worthy of a saloon in terms of driving pleasure, comfort and technology. More than ever, it meets the expectations of all customers with active lifestyles, with further optimised comfort thanks to Citroën Advanced Comfort ® seats and the latest-generation infotainment system and connectivity. New ë-Berlingo retains its practicality and modularity, as well as its ability to carry up to 7 people.

As the inventor of the leisure activity vehicle, Citroën has always offered its customers a robust model that suits them and adapts to their every need. Ë-Berlingo is a popular model that has built its success on its versatility and an expression of user-friendliness. Over time, ë-Berlingo has progressed in comfort and style, while confirming its status as a benchmark in the market, offering genuine expertise in terms of ergonomics, on-board space, ingenuity and practicality. With ë-Berlingo, Citroën offers a solution that guarantees a great deal of freedom and peace of mind to accompany families, senior citizens and working people of all kinds in a fulfilling, multifaceted active life.

In Europe, ë-Berlingo is available in electric version only, whose range has increased up to 198 miles (WLTP combined cycle currently being certified) thanks to a new 52kWh battery (50kWh useable) making it the ideal companion for families with a wide range of leisure pursuits who wish to take advantage of the serenity and comfort of electric driving.

DESIGN: A MODERN Ë-BERLINGO, FULL OF CHARACTER

The front of the new ë-Berlingo has been completely redesigned, adopting the brand's new visual identity. More vertical with larger features, it expresses plenty of power and modernity. The grille and bumper form a single block, at the centre of which appears Citroën's new oval logo.

On either side of the logo, a striped black band echoes the chevron pattern, demonstrating attention to detail and adding a touch of refinement. This connects the logo to the new headlamps, which feature Citroën's new three-segment light signature with a vertical bar and two horizontal bars that resemble blades. This signature gives ë-Berlingo a distinctive, technological look.

This band and the various lower grilles form layers to structure the front end and reinforce the sense of width, helping to underpin a confident, assertive character. On ‘Max’ versions, the centre of the bumper features an aluminium-effect skid plate with Infrared red strip on each side. The red strip is also found on the airbumps on the sides of the car. The latter are the car's graphic signature, adding fluidity to a muscular silhouette marked by well-defined flanks. The falling line at the rear of the roof gives the car a dynamic silhouette.

Roof bars are standard on the ‘Max’ trim level, which comes with 17-inch ‘Topaz’ alloy wheels. New ë-Berlingo is available in five body colours, including the new Kiama Blue and Sirkka Green, which complement Icy White, Perla Nera Black and Cumulus Grey.

Inside, the styling has evolved to enhance ergonomics and practicality. The all-new dashboard is distinguished by its generous volume, which conveys a sense of quality and robustness. Its design highlights the technology symbolised by the new high-definition 10-inch central touchscreen, ideally positioned high up, and a new configurable digital instrument cluster.

The upper part features a gigantic Top Box glove box, made possible by the installation of the Airbag in the roof. The lower part of the centre console houses important functions including the gearshift and driving mode selectors, the electric parking brake, the Start button and 2 USB ports. It also houses the wireless smartphone charging pad.

There is also a new steering wheel, this heated on the ‘Max’ versions and features a new style with a slight flat at the bottom, and a more graphic central boss with the new Citroën logo at its centre. It incorporates controls for the audio system and cruise control. The overall quality of the interior finish has been improved.

LIFE ON BOARD: ALL THE COMFORT AND PRACTICALITY OF CITROËN

Ë-Berlingo is an ingenious vehicle with first-class interior space and functionality, making life on board easy and enjoyable.

New Citroën Advanced Comfort Seats®. With a view to improve comfort, new ë-Berlingo adopts Advanced Comfort® front seats for the first time on ‘Max’ versions. Exclusive to Citroën, their sophisticated architecture combined with specific high-quality foam and side supports guarantee a high level of comfort. What's more, their special fabric and three-colour finish are stylish and elegant. In the centre of the cushion and backrest the quilted effect is highly visual and provides additional comfort. The backrest design is enlivened by a U-shaped band of colour on the backrest, while the sides of the seats are highlighted by piping in the same colour.

Three individual rear seats. New ë-Berlingo combines optimum passenger comfort with exceptional modularity, with three independent, sliding and folding seats in row two standard on ‘Max’ versions. Ë-Berlingo is available in two sizes, M (4.40 m long) and XL (4.75 m long), the latter allowing two additional removable seats in row three. With the front passenger seat folded down, the floor is completely flat and the load length extends to 2.70 m for the M version and 3.05 m for the XL version - ideal for carrying long objects.

Modutop®, always at the top! New ë-Berlingo retains the optional Modutop® multifunction roof, which incorporates the translucent arch, the rear roof box, ambient lighting and the blackout panoramic glass roof with electric blinds. In all, the new ë-Berlingo offers twenty seven stowage compartments spread around the cabin, with a total volume of up to 186 litres.

Opening rear window. A rare feature in the segment, the new ë-Berlingo has a rear window that opens independently of the tailgate (standard on ‘Max’ versions), making it practical for quickly loading or unloading small items into or out of the boot, the modutop storage compartment or the luggage compartment shelf, which can hold up to 25 kg.

The same generous interior volume, whatever the powertrain. Modular and spacious, the load space of the new ë-Berlingo varies from 775 litres (volume under the parcel shelf, ë-Berlingo size M) to 4,000 litres (total volume under the roof, ë-Berlingo size XL). The underfloor installation of ë-Berlingo's batteries means that these loading capacities are always maintained. Access to the ë-Berlingo is simplified by two large sliding side doors equipped with electric windows.

CONNECTIVITY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS: EVERYDAY PLEASURE AND CONVENIENCE

New ë-Berlingo takes on a new dimension in terms of on-board connectivity for users who expect their vehicle to be an extension of their multimedia environment, with a 10-inch touchscreen in the centre of the new dashboard, with a new Citroën multimedia system that can be controlled from it:

The new My Citroën Play infotainment system, featuring a high-definition 10-inch screen, lets you listen to the radio, and manage your phone or the car's functions. It features a wireless smartphone replication function, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Available with connected 3D navigation and accessed via the 10-inch high-definition screen, it is extremely easy to use. Its system, inspired by smartphone widgets, lets you manage the various media functions. It offers a natural, fluid and easy voice recognition system, providing a genuine on-board assistant in ë-Berlingo. The high-definition screen can also be used to project the rear-view camera with Top Rear Vision function. This infotainment system is combined with a new 10-inch colour digital instrument cluster, with an optimised, customisable display of essential information, including that from the navigation system and information relating to energy flow and recharging.

A handy optional wireless smartphone charger is located in the centre console, and two USB sockets are also available.

Ë-Berlingo is a leisure activity vehicle available with up to 18 driving assistance technologies, such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Electric Parking Brake, Rear View Camera with Top Rear Vision, Grip Control with Hill Assist Descent and Towbar Stability Control.

New ë-Berlingo also offers easier parking thanks to 12 parking sensors around the vehicle. In addition, images from the rear-view camera of the Top Rear Vision system are now displayed in high definition on the new ë-Berlingo's 10-inch central screen.

POWERTRAINS: EVER GREATER VERSATILITY

To guarantee even greater versatility, the New ë-Berlingo benefits from extended range. With its powerful 100kW (136 bhp) motor, combined with a new 52kWh battery(50kWh useable), the new ë-Berlingo now offers a range of up to 198 miles (WLTP combined cycle - undergoing approval). This figure is 20% up on the previous model, and is the result of major efforts to improve efficiency, making ë-Berlingo a benchmark in its segment. This range is perfectly suited to the average daily mileage covered by typical owners.

This range can be further optimised thanks to the new regenerative braking system, which the driver can set to one of three levels using new paddles located behind the steering wheel. In addition, three driving modes are available: Eco for maximum range, Power for maximum performance and Normal. Finally, an innovative heat pump available as an option heats the cabin without using battery power, thereby preserving range.

ë-Berlingo is equipped with a 7.4kW on-board charger and can be fitted with an optional 11kW three-phase charger for easy recharging. On a 7.4kW wallbox it can be fully recharged in 7.5 hours, while on an 11kW wallbox it can be fully recharged in 5 hours.

To ensure even greater peace of mind on those occasional long journeys throughout the year, ë-Berlingo has the best rapid recharge time in its segment, 30 minutes to recharge the battery from 0 to 80% at a 100kW public charging point. As a result, it benefits from a battery whose size, mass and cost are contained for greater efficiency on short journeys throughout the year, and its 100kW charging capacity means it can tackle longer journeys without stress. The ease of recharging is further reinforced by the use of the e-ROUTES application, available on ë-Berlingo, which acts as an assistant to help you organise your journey and adapt in real time to traffic conditions, the use of charging points along the route or changes in the car's charge level.

New ë-Berlingo will hit UK roads in spring 2024.
