Citroen has unleashed some pictures of the new Berlingo van range, which along with the Peugeot Partner will be available during 2008.

Peugeot plans to launch a new version of the Partner in the second part of 2008. With its new style, adapted to the demands of a professional customer base, both with regards to quality, durability and efficiency, the new Partner will be a useful working companion due to its versatility and value for money.

In terms of practicality, the new Partner has a maximum load capacity, which will be a new reference point in the small panel van segment. With a length of 4.38m, the new Partner has a load volume of 3.3m3 and a maximum payload of up to 850kg. The load area length of 1.8m can also be extended to 3m thanks to the new innovative Multi-Flex passenger seat. This innovative feature allows three people to sit in the front, which is the first time this option has been available in the small panel van segment.

Thanks to the use of the Peugeot 308 power train, the new Partner benefits from improved acoustic comfort, combined with an ergonomic driving position and excellent visibility. This all combines to give the new Partner a level of quality, which will symbolise this new generation of small panel vans.

At around the same time, a new advanced Citroen Berlingo will be launched. This new generation Berlingo builds upon the success of the current model that, together with car versions, has sold over 1.75 million worldwide, making it the most successful commercial vehicle in Citroen's history. Offering passenger car-like levels of equipment, the new model will be available with features such as Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and hill start assist. Further details of the new Berlingo, which will offer a wider choice of models and specifications than the current model, will be released nearer to its on-sale date later in 2008.
