Unlike the Barina-based Holden Combo van, the Citroen Berlingo was designed as a van from the ground up The basic running gear is derived from Citroen's small car, the Xsara High front roofline gives plenty of head clearance in the cab area Standard tyres are Michelin "Agilis", said to be capable of carrying heavy loads without losing comfort properties. From a road-grip viewpoint, they leave the Berlingo feeling a little under-tyred Smooth sides are designed to allow easy sign writing Wide front and rear bumpers are made of recyclable thermoplastic At 4.108 metres long, the Berlingo is about the size of a small hatchback, making it easy to manoeuvre and park Long wheelbase is characterised by well set-back rear wheels Optional rear roof flap allows carrying of items longer than interior of vehicle Elbow width in the passenger compartment is 1408mm Equipment is basic, with manual windows, rear view mirrors and manual locking Remote central locking, power windows and power passenger side mirror (heated, on both sides) are optional A flexible divider separating the cabin from the load area reduces noise and helps maintain a comfortable climate for passengers European versions of the Berlingo are available with extra seating Dealers will discuss the fitting of ADR-compliant extra seats with customers The cabin is fully trimmed to give a cosy, comfortable feel Segmented, large side pockets in doors incorporate a built-in cupholder The door pockets are capable of carrying a large standard-size street directory The fixed passenger's seat can be folded to form a workbench/table, or double-folded to reveal a 100-litre under-cushion compartment The driver's seat offers fore-aft and backrest adjustment Both seats are high-mounted to maximise legroom and enhance visibility
