New Berlingo Xtr

[DickieG]

I see Citroen have now released another version of the Berlingo in the UK called the XTR. Its priced £300 cheaper than the Desire, gains aluminium roof bars and rear privacy glass, but loses the CD player, front fogs, Modutop. Its also only available with either version of the 1.6 HDI diesel engines.

 

I haven't seen any photo's of the UK version but IIRC the XTR in elsewhere is a sort of pseudo "Off roader/4x4".

The citroen.com website has details, but they are in French

and if you search the site make sure you put the hyphen in, x-tr, or you don't get many results.

 

 

The rest of Europe has already reviewed the car...

That could get the "Gibson pound" in March '07

 

(The dealer would have to throw in a CD player though - I don't mind paying extra for Air but I cna't believe that they could bring a new model to market in this day and age withought CD as standard - I was gobsmacked when I found that the Smart was cassette as standard !)

None of the reviews above, nor the Citroen France description are of the UK model though, but of last year's 2.0HDi Euro model, which gets limited slip diff, leather steering wheel and air-con.

 

I'm not even sure we'll get the limited slip diff. I reckon it'll be more of a Pug Partner "Escapade" competitor with maybe a raised ride height and decals, based on the Forte. No good for me because I'm sure they'll not include the opening roof as an option either.

Citroen UKs website now shows XTR as a trim level for the Berlingo

[kfk]

Only options available are Manual Air con and Pearlescent paint......no sunroof and it wont have limited slip diff

Then you might as well buy an Olive Green Forte and bling it up yourself!!

Hi.

I`m new on this forum, and I don`t know very good Enlglish.

I want to ask what the difference between Berlingo MSP(multispace) and Berlingo X-TR?

[tronboy]

In the UK, the only differences the X-TR has over the M'space Forte are cosmetic:

 

Rear Privacy Glass

Different (van-style) upholstery

Aluminium Roof-Bars

 

In Europe, the differences are major and add:

 

Limited-slip Diff

Increased ride-height

Leather steering wheel

Aluminium Sump-guard

Underbody armour.

 

Interestingly a commercial X-TR is available in the UK with the technical features of the Euro spec X-TR aimed at farmers, forestry commissions, water companies etc who need limited off road capability without the added expense or weight penalty of a 4x4.
