THRIVE verdict
A badge-engineered small van with strong payload and volume, priced in the cheapest quarter of its class.
This Berlingo sits in the lowest price quarter of small vans in our database, yet its payload of 936kg and load volume of 3.9m³ both land in the top quarter for the class. For operators who need to carry genuine weight and bulk without stepping up a size, that combination is hard to ignore, and the 2,167mm floor with 1,229mm between arches takes two Euro or UK standard pallets in a single row.
It's essentially the same van as the Fiat Doblò and Peugeot Partner at an identical £24,420, and cheaper than the Vauxhall Combo at £25,015, so badge preference or dealer terms should decide between them. Against other diesel rivals in this class, the Renault Kangoo undercuts it at £23,700 with a larger 4.2m³ load area and higher 1,500kg towing, while the Toyota Proace City costs more at £24,753 but offers a higher 990kg payload and better 52.3mpg economy; this van's own 46mpg is below the class median for diesels.
Towing capacity is unremarkable at 1,030kg, sitting exactly at the class median rather than standing out. The electric ë-Berlingo sibling carries less payload at 691kg and lists £2,985 more after grant, so the diesel suits higher-payload, longer-mileage work while the electric suits depot or home charging where running costs are lower; the choice depends on mileage and charging access rather than price alone.
Best for
- Loads needing genuine payload and volume in a small van
- Pallet work: two Euro or UK pallets fit in a single row
- Budget-conscious fleets wanting a cheaper small diesel van
Think twice
- Fuel economy trails the class median for diesels
- Towing is only mid-pack, not a strong point
- Identical vans sold as Fiat, Peugeot and Vauxhall badges, worth comparing deals

Other Citroën Berlingo versions
| Version | Fuel | Payload | Range / economy | Price ex VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Citroën Berlingo L1H1 diesel | Diesel | 982 kg | 46 mpg | £23,470 |
| Citroën ë-Berlingo L1H1 | Electric | 759 kg | 180-219 miles | £28,955 |
| Citroën ë-Berlingo L2H1 | Electric | 691 kg | 180-219 miles | £29,905 |

What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 2, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 2, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Too long for the floor |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 2.1m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 2,167mm, 1,229mm between the wheel arches, 1,270mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 460kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,120mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
