Introduction

Citroen doesn't seem to be able to stop making its old models. The public won't allow it to. Just as the Xsara Picasso lives on to sell alongside the C4 Picasso, so too will the original Berlingo Multispace enjoy an afterlife, its production lines moved from Vigo to another factory in France.

That's fortunate because, like the C4 Picasso, the new Berlingo Multispace is an altogether more sophisticated car than its revered ancestor.

It sits on the same platform and suspension as the C4 and the Peugeot 308SW. So instead of being quite good for a van it actually is car-like to drive with a fine blend of ride and handling that belie its utilitarian looks.
