Now You Can Have the Top Small Van
The excellent Citroen Berlingo remains a popular favourite with fleet managers and small businesses. 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 Berlingo has recently undergone some significant renovations that will help ensure that this van continues to remain a favourite with commercial fleet managers and drivers alike.
There are actually two distinct versions of the Berlingo van available in the United Kingdom. These models are the L1 and L2. The L1 has been extended by 240mm and widened by 80mm. One of the main modifications is the more spacious load area and increased carrying 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 new Berlingo is more stylish, modern and aerodynamic resulting in less internal noise when travelling. 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. Internally there is even more storage space including a passenger side glove compartment and larger door pockets.
But its the LX model that provides one of the most outstanding new features. The new feature is called Extenso Seating and it provides a useful third seat in between the front two. The three seat feature is unique to the Berlingo as the only van in its class to offer this facility.
The standard Citroen Berlingo is full of features that you would not normally find as standard in vans in its class or price range. These include electric windows, heated wing mirrors and a radio / CD player.
You would reasonably expect a van that is so full of appealing features to be an expensive choice. But you will find that, if you shop around, you can find this van at some very competitive rates. You can get a Citroen van lease deal from as little as £170 per month with various options including van lease purchase.
