A new Berlingo...Petrol, diesel or electric?

Go for the XL if you fancy camping, and even make your own boot kit.

Im going to dump the seats as soon as i get mine Its a supremely practical vehicle short of getting a medium van. The new xl version is about a foot longer giving enough space to kip in the back if necessary.

They're brilliant little vans

Am I right in thinking that Citroen/Peugot/Vauxhall have, or will soon. stop making the pertrol/diesel variants? Just looked at the Citroen webpage and the e-versions are the only ones offered. I've got an old style Peugeot 5008 which I was thinking of replacing with an XL Berlingo. We need the uncluttered boot space for a non folding wheel chair which fits in the 5008's boot without needing to fold seats and the Berlingo looked like a perfect replacement. Perfect for my bikes too. I do not want an electric version as charging points are few and far between and our longer trips are around 180 miles each way (360 miles). We normally complete the return trip within a day and stopping to recharge would potentially make the trip virtually impossible time wise.
Just looked at a review of the Dacia Jogger - might be the only possibility if the Berlingo goes electric only - unless I can find a good 2nd hand XL when the time comes.

Yep

That's a buggxr. I'll just have to keep the 5008 going as long as possible. It was a sad day when Peugeot changed the really functional 5008 into a big bonneted, just like all the others, "SUV".

I still like the original shape
Many years ago, in 2004, it was a toss of the coin between one of those and a Fabia

The Fabia (estate) won as we could drive one out of the showroom, in a colour the wife liked
