New Citroen Berlingo XTR+ van with off-road capability
Berlingo XTR+
A new Citroen Berlingo XTR+ light commercial van has been launched offering enhanced off-road capability. The van will be available in the UK in a choice of short and long panel vans, a platform cab and Crew Van, Ready to Run glass carriers and temperature controlled versions, plus dual fuel models.
The Berlingo XTR+ is based on the Citroen Berlingo L1 625 1.6HDi 90hp LX van and is enhanced with the following key features:
- Sophisticated limited-slip differental.
- A raised, heavy duty suspension and revised steering geometry.
- Comprehensive under body protection.
-15-inch steel wheels with Michelin Synchrone 4×4 195/65 R15 tyres.
These enhancements offer much greater off-road capability but, thanks to the two wheel drive configuration, not at the expense of a higher capital cost or weight and running costs, normally associated wth four-wheel drive vehicles.
Berlingo XTR+
Robert Handyside, Citroen commercial vehicle operations manager, said, ” The new Berlingo XTR+ van is designed and engineered to suit the demanding requirements of operators in the utilities, forestry, construction and agricultural sectors. These customers require a reasonable degeree of off-road capability from their light vans, which otherwise spend the majority of their working lives on the road. Therefore, for most of these operators, it is essential that any off-road capability is provided without compromising on-road performance or incurring additional operating costs”
