The comfort of a saloon and the practicality of an MPV New Berlingo reinvents the leisure activity vehicle
Citroën Berlingo was launched in 1996. This highly innovative vehicle concept started a new trend in leisure activity vehicles. Based on this pioneering concept, Citroën consolidated international performance. Since 2003, the Marque has occupied the enviable position of unchallenged European leader in the field of business and leisure, with a market share exceeding 26% at the end of November 2007 (Europe 27). This segment still has potential since sales volumes in Europe continue to grow steadily. Adapting to all situations, the Berlingo meets a growing need for freedom and flexibility in use. The program attracts so an increasing number of buyers. Overall at the end of 2007, the Berlingo has sold more than one million units worldwide. The new Berlingo will go on sale in the second quarter of 2008. It will be sold alongside the current Berlingo, which will still be available in some countries as an entry-level offering called "Berlingo First". With the Nemo Combi, Berlingo First and the New Berlingo, Citroen has developed the full range of recreational vehicles with complementary styles and features. This policy will enable it to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
