Camper-Ready Citroen

Berlingo Camper Action

Ever heard of turning a van into a home away from home? The Citroen Berlingo Black Edition is making waves in Japan with its camper-friendly upgrade. This isn’t just any regular Berlingo; it comes fully equipped with a kit that transforms the cabin into a cozy double bed, ideal for a night under the stars.

Specs Matter

Now, let’s talk numbers. The Berlingo Black Edition houses a 1.5-liter BlueHDi turbodiesel engine under the hood, delivering around 128 horsepower. It’s matched with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, channeling power to those front wheels seamlessly. Plus, there’s this sweet feature, Grip Control, which fine-tunes traction whether you’re on sand, snow, mud, or just a wet parking lot.

Room to Roam

Citroen is making room, literally. The standard model measures 173.4 inches long, while a more spacious Berlingo Max extends to 187.8 inches. What’s in it for the space enthusiasts? Opt for the five-seater Berlingo Max for a hefty 30 cubic feet of trunk real estate. If the regular model is more your style, you’ve still got a solid 21 cubic feet to play around with.

Style and Features

Looks

Dark and dashing, the Black Edition shows off an exclusive Noir Perlanera color splashed across its body. The 16-inch alloy wheels complete its bold look. But the real crowd-puller is the “Agre Storage & Bed Kit.” It caters to the campers with a foldable bed and extra storage in the boot for all those outdoor doodads. Early buyers get to snag some extra durable storage boxes, just to keep everything in order.

Pricing and Verdict

The Berlingo starts at $29,800 for the regular version and jumps to $31,000 for the Berlingo Max. Those booking between May 17 and June 30 can grab a discounted kit and storage boxes. Now, how’s the Berlingo Black Edition to drive? Think of it as a neighborhood that had a facelift. It’s still got the practicality Citroen is known for, but with an adventurous twist, much like switching from a comfy sedan to a revamped SUV ready for road trips.

The Berlingo, with its new camper package, not only caters to the camping crowd but appeals to anyone wanting a bit of fun with their daily drive. It’s where practicality meets a hint of wanderlust on the streets.
