Since the Berlingo
Multispace created the budget MPV sector in 1998, it has sold
more than all of its rivals combined in a sector that has
achieved sales of over 20,000 a year. In the UK alone, it has
sold over 50,000, whilst worldwide, sales of car versions of the
Berlingo have exceeded 1,000,000 - even more than van versions
of the model. |

Building upon its hugely popular
predecessor, the Berlingo Multispace's more spacious interior offers a
whole host of innovative and useful features to optimise its
versatility. The new model offers a unique overhead interior storage
"gallery" that can carry long items like skis; a removable central
storage compartment; an opening tailgate window; folding front passenger
seat; three separately folding or removable rear seats – the centre one
featuring a desktop, cup holder and storage compartment when folded.
With its spacious new interior – the
sensation of which is enhanced by the massive glass area – the
Multispace will offer saloon car like levels of equipment, as varied as
a scented air freshener, automatic headlights, parking assistance,
steering wheel mounted stereo controls, speed limiter and even a
rechargeable torch in the boot.
The all new model introduces a more
stylish look and, with the running gear based on C4 Picasso, it features
a longer wheelbase for an ultra smooth ride and optimum comfort. A more
powerful 110HP engine, with an ultra clean diesel particulate filter
system, will be available. At 4.38 m, it is a huge 24 cms longer than
the original model and with an increase in width it will offer a
cavernous loadspace of up to 3000 litres – enough to swallow four
washing machines.
Among the versions on offer, the XTR
model will boast a rugged 'go anywhere' look with increased ground
clearance and presents the new Multispace in full outdoor mode with its
two-tone bumper design and grille, black coloured body sections, side
rubbing strips and tinted rear windows to give it an adventurous
appearance.
The new Berlingo Multispace presents an
ideal choice for active families and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a
stylish, practical and safe car that offers exceptional freedom and
versatility. |
