Citroën Berlingo

Ford Tourneo Connect

Introduction, what car says....

How do you make an MPV cool? Well, this Citroën e-Berlingo might just have answered that – by going electric.

In years to come, there will no doubt be many other multi-purpose 'volts-wagon' electric cars, but the e-Berlingo is one of a select few at the moment.

There's also the almost identical  Peugeot e-Rifter and  Vauxhall Combo Life Electric . All are effectively electric vans with extra seats and windows so they're more suited to family life than work duties.

Now, you might think the only reason you’ll buy an e-Berlingo over an e-Rifter or Combo Life Electric is that there's a Citroën  dealership closer to you than any other brand's. However, there are a number of differences between the three models, and we'll explain them in this review.

Traditionally, we preferred the Berlingo out of the three similar models choices because it offers the best value for money. If you go by base price, the e-Berlingo is indeed the least expensive of these  electric cars to buy.

Currently (not a pun, but it can be...), the e-Berlingo can be had in two body styles. There's a shorter one with five seats labelled 'M' and a longer one with seven seats called the 'XL' . 

What Car? has a buying service

Yes, you’ve read that correctly: you can have an all-electric seven-seater without having to fork out for a pricey Mercedes EQB or  Tesla Model X . The e-Berlingo’s simple sliding rear doors work perfectly well in tight car parks (arguably better than the Model X's overly complicated gullwing doors, in fact).

Read on to find out whether the electric conversion has made the Citroën e-Berlingo even easier to live with than the original Berlingo, and how it compares with other electric van-based MPVs you might be considering. We'll cover all aspects of the car, from its performance and range to the quality of the interior and the running costs.

Performance & drive

What it’s like to drive, and how quiet it is.

The Citroën e-Berlingo shares a 134bhp electric motor and battery pack with the Citroën e-C4  but is not as quick because of its extra weight. That said, the 11.5sec 0-62mph time of the five-seater version isn’t too bad considering its size. With no gears to change and the instant power you get in electric cars  it gets off the line swiftly enough for most driving. 

The electric range is officially 174 miles, matching the  Peugeot e-Rifter and Vauxhall Combo Life Electric  (not surprising when the three share so many parts). You're unlikely to get that far in real-world driving, though.

The electric motor makes this quite a peaceful vehicle to drive because there's no thrummy engine to listen to when getting up to speed, and no vibrations when making low-speed manoeuvres. There's a little bit of electric motor whine at higher speeds, but wind and road noise are pretty low (although you'll notice less of both in the VW Touran  and other traditional MPVs ).

As for handling, the e-Berlingo's steering is accurate to give you confidence on faster, flowing roads, and light enough at low speeds (jolly helpful when manoeuvring the longer XL seven-seater version into a parking space).

The batteries under the e-Berlingo's floor help to keep the weight low to the ground, but you'll still notice a bit of body lean through quick corners. It's surprisingly surefooted for a van, but for the best MPV for handling, you'll need to look at the Touran (which is not available as an electric car).

By electric car standards, the e-Berlingo is supple over potholes around town, and sharper intrusions, such as expansion joints over bridges, at higher speeds. Again, if you want maximum comfort, you’ll need to look at non-electric rivals – the  Dacia Jogger or the Touran, for example.

The interior layout, fit and finish

The e-Berlingo's interior is a carbon-copy of the regular Citroën Berlingo  so you’ll find lots of durable, hard-wearing plastics. If you go for the top-spec Flair XTR trim, you’ll be treated to brighter fabrics and finishes inside that lift it above the equivalent  Vauxhall Combo Life Electric . For something more understated, look at the Peugeot e-Rifter with its calmer colour palette.

On the whole, the  VW Touran feels much more car-like, with a plusher interior. You sit higher up in the e-Berlingo compared with the driving position of the Touran. It’s similar in stature to many SUVs, giving a clear view of the instrument panel. A head-up display is available as an option, but only if you choose the Flair XTR trim.

The flat seats offer little in the way of side support to hold you in place through corners. The driver's seat is height-adjustable and comes with adjustable lumbar support. You can adjust the steering wheel for reach and rake on all version.

The controls on the dashboard are chunky and straightforward to use. What's more (and unlike many recent  Citroën models), there are physical knobs and buttons to control the ventilation system. That means you don't have to dive into a sub-menu on the touchscreen simply to change the temperature.

Sadly, the infotainment system isn’t as responsive or as easy to navigate as that of the Touran. The menu layout takes some getting used to because there are too many layers you must dive through before you find what you want. The system isn't responsive enough to commands, either.

On the bright side, it comes as standard with an 8.0in touchscreen, a DAB radio, Bluetooth, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay  smartphone integration, and a USB port. Sat-nav remains an option on all trim levels.

Seeing out is easy thanks to the big windows and door mirrors, and you get rear parking sensors as standard to make life easier. It's worth getting the optional Park Assist Pack on entry-level Feel because you gain front sensors and a rear-view camera, which are particularly helpful with the longer XL model. A camera comes as standard with Flair XTR trim.

Passenger & boot space

How it copes with people and clutter.

First, you need to choose whether you want five or seven seats in your Citroën e-Berlingo, because if you want seven you'll have to select the longer XL model rather than the regular-sized M version.

Our favourite is the five-seat M, which still offers a vast amount of passenger space for those with a smaller crowd to carry. There’s so much head room in the front and back that it's hard to imagine anyone struggling, while rear leg room is very generous too. The rear bench is wide enough to accommodate three adults with ease, and the two outer rear seats have Isofix child-seat mounting points.

If you opt for the seven-seat XL model, the third-row seats offer generous head room, but their leg room isn't as good as in the  Ford Tourneo Connect .

The rear sliding doors make it a doddle for passengers to get in or out when you’re parked up next to a wall or another car.

You get masses of storage space, especially in the front, and the cupholder on top of the dashboard is a nice touch. It’s easy to reach and doesn’t obstruct your view of the road. The rearmost windows don’t wind down on the entry-level Feel trim – they simply pop open a few centimetres – but you get four electric windows with Flair XTR trim. 

When it comes to clever seating tricks, the e-Berlingo isn't quite as impressive. The five-seater's rear seats split in a 60/40 layout (you get three equal-sized seats with the Flair XTR trim) and can fold down flush with the floor of the boot thanks to a nifty hinged seat base. You can’t slide them back and forth or recline them as you can in many conventional MPVs  such as the VW Touran . 

As for boot space, there’s loads of it. Even the regular five-seater has nearly 775 litres below the parcel shelf (1050 litres for the XL). That's massive – more than the Touran and, indeed, pricier large SUVs such as the Peugeot 5008 can offer.

In the XL, the rearmost two seats can be completely removed from the car to add boot space, and you get 4000 litres of cargo room with all the rear seats down. To put that in context, there'll be no need to ever hire a van.

The boot is square, with no obstructive lip at the entrance, and the opening matches the width of the boot floor. The only annoyance is how enormous the tailgate is because, being top-hinged, it can only be opened when there’s a large gap behind the car. The Flair XTR gets around that by providing a rear window that opens independently, which is more usable.

Buying & owning

Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is.

All versions of the Citroën e-Berlingo undercut the price of the  Peugeot e-Rifter and Vauxhall Combo Life Electric  and its predicted resale values are the best too. The  VW ID Buzz  will hold its value against depreciation better than all three, but it is much more expensive in the first place.

Finance costs for the e-Berlingo should be cheaper compared with electric car rivals, but petrol or diesel powered MPVs will be far more affordable. See our New Car Deals pages for the best current prices.

Fortunately, it should be inexpensive to run an e-Berlingo because at the time of writing there’s no annual VED road tax to pay, and if you drive in cities with congestion and emissions charging zones, it is likely to be exempt.

Entry-level Feel trim comes with all the basics, including air-con, automatic lights and wipers, cruise control, electric front windows and electrically operated door mirrors. It also includes the 8.0in infotainment system and rear parking sensors.

That said, we wouldn't blame you for going for the top Flair XTR trim. It gives you 17in alloy wheels, electric rear windows, dual-zone climate control, picnic tables in the back and 10in digital driver display.

You also get lots of safety features, including automatic emergency braking ( AEB ), lane-keeping assistance and traffic sign recognition. It missed out on a five-star Euro NCAP rating, though, scoring four stars out of five because it was deemed that the AEB system wasn't especially effective.

As a brand,  Citroën ranked 11th out of 32 manufacturers in the 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey – higher than Volkswagen, Vauxhall, Ford and Peugeot.

All new e-Berlingos get a good but not exceptional three-year/60,000-mile warranty, but that increases to five years and 100,000 miles if you buy it online. The battery pack is guaranteed to retain 70% of its capacity for eight years or 100,000 miles.

Charging the e-Berlingo will take a little over seven hours from a wall charger, or roughly 30 mins from 10-80% on a 100kWh rapid charger.

Citroen e-Berlingo: long-term test review

Final report: we’ve learned to love our pure-electric mpv.

4.0 out of 5

Driving the Citroen e-Berlingo has been something of an EV education. It’s been great about town and ideal for family use. I’ve learned to trust the range on longer journeys, but compromises would remain, with family living up to 300 miles away.

• Mileage: 3,785

It seems that I’m a fair-weather EV driver. After initial doubts when our Citroen e-Berlingo turned up back in frosty February, I’ve been well and truly converted by our brilliant boxy electric vehicle . 

The Citroen is lovingly referred to as the ‘ice cream van’ in my family, and its beauty is very definitely in the eye of the beholder. We’ve often been reminded by friends and neighbours that “it’s no looker”. However, as the temperatures have risen in line with the price of petrol , I’ve been quietly content to plug in at home and get 165 miles of range for £12-£14. In fact, if I run the e-Berlingo around town using the eco setting and maximise its regenerative braking, I’m more likely to be getting somewhere close to the official 182 miles of WLTP range.

It seems an age ago since the winter and my worries about the e-Berlingo and its fluctuating range, after an initial 80-mile round trip to my mother’s house. However, just a few weeks ago I popped over to see her without bothering to charge in advance for the 40 miles. And that was before heading down to the New Forest in Hampshire (a further 60 miles) for a weekend away. When the range started getting low, I just rolled into a service station and topped up with 20 minutes of charge while sipping a coffee.

My newfound EV confidence extends to watching the range trickle away on the motorway, safe in the knowledge that the Citroen becomes pessimistic when you’re driving quickly. If you turn away from motorways and A-roads, the e-Berlingo can often go another 15-20 miles without registering much more than a mile or two drop in range as it balances things up. Only once have I got the range low enough for the sat-nav to kick in, mapping out multiple routes to the nearest chargepoints. 

The navigation system is one of the plus points of the e-Berlingo, in fact. It has really simple, clear directions both on the screen and through the dash display. It also shows snarled-up traffic hotspots on the busiest roads, and the wider range indicator on the UK map gives a trustworthy idea of how far you can get on your current charge. The head-up display is also great, with info on speed limits, your actual speed, and cruise control settings, which is handy on longer trips.  

There’s really not much that you can’t throw in the Citroen. With its vast space, folding seats and sliding doors, it’s extremely easy to load up and use. Factor in the good range and efficiency, and I can imagine the e-Berlingo being an ideal car for a family with a small business. Local deliveries would certainly be straightforward and cost-effective.

Many of the niggles I mentioned in earlier reports have faded with time. The doors are heavy, and there is a knack to opening them, but you get used to it quite quickly; likewise the large tailgate. 

But there are a few problems with the car that haven’t eased. Some of the trim is a bit flimsy – I’ve had to reattach a few parts that have dropped off. 

Another gripe is that the car only comes with a Type 2 cable as standard. A three-pin cable costs extra, but having one as well as a Type 2 cable would make more sense, so that visiting friends and family becomes a chance to charge rather than relying on the UK charging network. It’s a lot easier to bung someone you know £10 for a top-up.

Citroen E-Berlingo: third report 

Electric people carrier comes into its own as a removal van

• Mileage:  3,005

Our Citroen e-Berlingo has really come up trumps in recent weeks. The all-electric people carrier has found its niche, excelling as a frugal, quiet family transporter around South London. 

My eldest son George recently moved into a new flat with his own young family. The Citroen EV was the perfect vehicle to help move all his stuff. Well, it is a van.

With the seats folded flat, the e-Berlingo provides a mammoth 2,107 litres of boot space. To visualise this, I’m talking about two three-door chests of drawers face to face, with a 50-inch TV (wrapped in a duvet) between them. Then a dismantled baby cot tucked in across the front, loaded through the sliding doors. There was still plenty of room for more bits and bobs, but with a journey distance of just a few miles, it was easier to make several trips. It’s not like we need to worry about the spiraling fuel costs at the moment, either. 

I tend to charge the Citroen when it gets down to around 20 miles of range, and it costs between £12-14 for a full charge from our 7kW home wallbox. It takes around five hours to fully replenish the battery, giving a range of around 162 miles, although that goes up to 170-plus when using the eco setting around town. 

Apart from helping George move house, I’ve been doing the kind of light weekly mileage you might associate with a family in town: various shopping trips, drop-offs at school clubs, and lifts to work and play. I’ve found one charge will do us for around three weeks bumbling about. If we were to throw in a slightly longer journey, such as the 80-mile round trip to see my mother, we would need to charge every other week.

I’ve found it hard to get an exact figure on the e-Berlingo’s efficiency because the car’s EV settings screen only seems to show kWh over recent journeys. These are displayed

in bar graphs based on time periods. They typically range from 2.5 miles per kWh up to 5.5, depending on whether I’ve been zipping about in power mode, or heading downhill from my hill-top home, with eco mode applied and maximum energy recuperation engaged.

I actually quite like driving on eco power. I’m seldom in a hurry these days, and if I do need to pull away sharply, I can switch back to power mode with one touch. I also really like playing music in the car, and I rate the Citroen’s audio system. The acoustics are great; the car is so boxy that it’s a bit like driving about in a bass speaker. With simple volume control buttons on the steering wheel, I find myself nudging up the radio until the glass vibrates.

But not all of the buttons are great. The heater fan control is awkwardly positioned behind the steering wheel, with separate buttons for up and down. It’s easier to adjust the temperature than the fan. The placing of this and the USB port don’t appear to have been thought out, but you get used to them.

Citroen E-Berlingo: second report

Holiday trip is a stern test for our EV – and its driver’s patience

• Mileage: 2,790

I won’t lie: it’s taken me a while to get to grips with my first fully electric car. I’ve had the usual issues – cold weather affecting the range, and the resulting anxiety – but wouldn’t you know? It turns out the main problem has been me.

When our Citroen e-Berlingo arrived back in February, it seemed the perfect vehicle for the situation I found myself in. My son George required regular hospital visits while he was recovering from a car accident, meaning he needed easy access to the car, and room for his crutches and wheelchair, plus ideally a smooth ride.

Sure enough, the Citroen is spacious and great around town, quietly using very little charge thanks to my preference of using the Brake setting, which claws back electric charge whenever your foot comes off the accelerator. With some practice you hardly need to brake at all – so getting George back and forth to his appointments has been a breeze and relatively inexpensive.

However, while I can’t deny the space in the back of the e-Berlingo has been fantastic, the Citroen’s accessibility isn’t that great. The sliding doors are heavy, and even I find them tough to move at times. George has wrist injuries and can’t move them from inside the car at all, and his pregnant girlfriend Lucie also struggles. 

So I end up acting like a taxi driver, letting my passengers in, then sliding the doors shut from outside (with some force, it must be said) to ensure they close, before finally getting into the car myself. 

Another thing we watch out for is the vast tailgate, which needs to be considered when parking. The superb rear-view camera helps, but it’s not always easy on tree-lined streets. 

Day to day around town, I drive the Citroen in Normal mode, which means it’s responsive without feeling fast, and the heater chucks out some warmth. For longer journeys I use Eco mode, which increases the range readout at the cost of acceleration and heat, because the car limits both.

The car’s biggest challenge came in March, when my wife and I set off to Yorkshire for a week’s holiday. With the claimed range of 180 miles, I was a bit nervous; I’ve only ever managed a reading of 171 miles in Eco mode (after a full charge) and it can dip quickly. 

But as it turned out, it was my nerves that were to be the main problem on our trip. We made it through London on to the M11 northbound using hardly any charge at all. I’d insisted on running in Eco mode until I had an idea how much power we were using and how near we would get to one of the three motorway fast chargepoints that I’d identified in advance. So my wife sat with her coat on to avoid the chill while I drove along at around 60-65mph to preserve charge. Rock n’ roll motoring!

I did find the cruise control and head-up display helpful, and the sat-nav was clear and simple. But traffic was unkind to us and severe delays added hours to the trip. We stopped three times on the way up. 

On the first occasion we waited 30 minutes to get onto a charger (Ionity); the second time, both (Gridserve) chargers were full, so we moved on, but had to take a 30-minute diversion to Lincoln to charge (Instavolt). We were so late and irritated by this point that we just stopped at a family member’s house en route and lost a day at our Scarborough accommodation. 

The sensible thing to do would have been to charge overnight, but the Citroen doesn’t come with a three-pin charging cable, so it took a further failed attempt at Louth, then a successful Instavolt charge at Humberstone to finally get us to our destination.

Once we were in Yorkshire, we carried on using Ionity and Instavolt chargers because they worked, but with the latter being sited at McDonald’s restaurants, we must have eaten up any fuel savings in food costs. Note to self: remember to take a packed lunch and a flask next time!

With hindsight, I just didn’t trust the e-Berlingo or its displayed range at first. I stopped too often on the way up, wasting time rather than optimising my range by picking a chargepoint and trusting that we would make it with 15-20 miles left. It only clicked on the way home, but by then I’d spent over six hours charging the car. 

However, driving an EV in Yorkshire in March on Eco mode is a slow, cold, joyless experience. This is not a criticism aimed at the Citroen, though; at one chargepoint I spoke with a Porsche owner who’d spent two hours the night before researching his route. The reason, he confessed, was that his car’s claimed range dropped by up to a third if he heated it and drove it like a Porsche.

Citroen E-Berlingo: first report

A week in a C4 acts as a prelude to life with Citroen’s new all-electric family car

• Mileage: N/A

Fleet cars can come thick and fast at Auto Express. I have just given back the keys to our excellent Toyota RAV4 PHEV , but had to wait a week for its replacement – a brand-new all-electric Citroen e-Berlingo – so I was lucky enough to get a bonus week at the wheel of a new C4 to fill the gap.

This pseudo-SUV crossover is smaller than the RAV4 , of course, but any fears I had about downsizing were soon washed away by the Citroen’s mix of cool styling and gadgets. Both of my sons loved the interior comfort and styling, and they were quick to hook up their iPads via the case and attachment mount, both of which slideout from the dash above the glovebox.

The heated massage seats (£150) were also a big hit. But whereas my boys liked the options, I was more impressed by the level of standard kit in this C4.

With Shine Plus trim you get a driver safety pack, featuring alerts, lane-departure warning, traffic and sign recognition, and adaptive cruise control. The reversing camera with top-down vision was another impressive feature, along with the wireless phone-charging slot. Most noticeable was the head-up display, with simple graphics illustrating the cruise control and limiter settings, plus a clear speed readout. It even shows the speed limit on a clear sign, which flashes red if you get a bit heavy-footed.

Citroen’s infotainment system has been criticised in the past, yet I have to say that I found it relatively straightforward.  I didn’t do too many miles in the C4, but I liked it. This car showcases Citroen’s focus on comfort, and although the relatively soft suspension does mean a bit of body roll, it’s a small price to pay for the way the car soaks up urban speed bumps and potholes.

We also found the car practical. I needed to collect a bass speaker and two amplifiers from storage for my eldest son, George. The speaker was big and heavy, but fitted (just), although the high boot lip was a challenge.

After just a week, the two sets of Citroen keys were swapped and I grabbed a quick snap of the cars together before the caramel-brown C4 disappeared.

My first impression of the e-Berlingo is that it looks quite cool, in a very functional sort of way. The orange details and exterior mouldings help it look more car than van. 

The boot space is vast, with up to 2,107 litres. That’s ideal for my current situation, with a son who’s recovering from a car accident and still needs a wheelchair on occasion, plus a grandson with a big buggy. 

However, the e-Berlingo is noticeably less well equipped than the C4. It’s been a long time since I’ve driven a test car that I’ve had to turn a key to start, but that’s just a button-pushing habit I’ve developed. 

The first trip in my new car was a simple dad-taxi run. Around town the e-Berlingo used very little charge, especially in Brake mode which, with practice, should reduce the need for me to press the brake pedal and send more power back to the battery. 

I need to work on my motorway technique, though, because an 80-mile round trip ate up 100 miles of the claimed 180-mile range. True, it was cold and windy, but that’s Britain in winter, and the first two full charges of the car have only delivered up to 164 miles of range. Roll on summer.
