CITROËN BERLINGO NOW $16,990 INCLUDING AIRCON
Citroën’s toping selling light commercial vehicle, the Berlingo, is now in runout and Citroën has consolidated the Berlingo range into one version, the Berlingo with AirCon as standard and priced it at $16,990, a saving of more then $1100.
“The price may have changed, but the features that have made it an acclaimed hot seller remain the same,” says Miles Williams, Citroën’s Australian General Manager. “Berlingo may be in runout, but its payload of 800 kg and its three cubic metre load space are still the class benchmarks, as are its technical specification, which remain ahead of vehicles that claim to be new designs. And only the Berlingo is designed specifically to be a van – it is not a car cut in half with a box added to the back, it is as much a commercial vehicle as it is stylish and fun to drive.”
Since its launch three years ago, the Citroën Berlingo has proven to be a driving force in Citroën’s Australian sales, at times accounting for as much as 50 per cent of Citroën’s Australian sales. As in Europe, where it invented an entirely new market sector and has proven a much copied vehicle, the Berlingo re-introduced the car-derived van to the Australian market and provided commercial users with a van that was much more than a white brick on wheels, making it able to act as much as company promotional tool as a transport vehicle.
Widely seen on Australian streets carrying the name of leading companies and organizations large and small, the Berlingo has offered Australians their first taste of Citroën’s commercial vehicles, a field in which Citroën has been as inventive and influential as it has been with cars.
“The new Berlingo will provide significant advances over the present vehicle,” says Miles Williams, “but that and the tough exchange rate with the Euro will be reflected in its price. So the runout deal of $16,990 and the end of the financial year means that there is no better time for businesses to discover why the Berlingo is the class leader and the trendsetter in light commercial vehicles.”
