The popular Citroen Berlingo continues to be a firm favourite with fleet operators. The Berlingo has recently been awarded the Fleet Vans best in class trophy and the car maker, Citroen, reports that the Berlingo accounts for 49.7% of the carmakers sales and Citroen lease contracts.

The Citroen Berlingo has undergone some excellent updates and now boasts a whole load of features that will ensure that this great little van continues to win accolades and praise from fleet managers and van drivers.

There are actually two distinct versions of the Berlingo van available in the United Kingdom. These are the L1 and L2. The L1 has been extended by 240mm and widened by 80mm. This compact van now boasts a larger load area and increased weight capacity. You can now fold down the passenger seat to extend the load area even further making it ideal for those longer items.

And these recent modifications aren’t limited to the vans load carrying capabilities. The revised Berlingo design is more modern, stylish and aerodynamic which results in far less noise when on the road. External modifications have been made in order to minimise the risk of minor damage by moving the front and rear lights and the windscreen has been enlarged to improve visibility. The internal design has also undergone revision to provide even more storage space including a driver side glove compartment and much larger door pockets.

But one of the most outstanding new features is available in the LX model. This featured is called Extenso Seating which provides a valuable third seat in between the front two seats. The Berlingo is the only van in its class to offer this outstanding three seat feature.

The standard Berlingo boasts a whole load of features that you would ordinarily not expect to find in vans at this price or in this class. These include electric windows, heated wing mirrors and a radio / CD player.

With all of these fantastic features you might expect the Citroen Berlingo to be an expensive option. But this van is very competitively priced. You can get a Citroen van lease deal from as little as £170 per month with various options including van lease purchase.
