New electric version of venerable people carrier is suddenly the only one available
TESTED 10.1.22, OXFORDSHIRE ON SALE NOW
TESTER’S NOTE
Citroën tacitly acknowledges the range issue through a special dial that shows how much power you’re consuming with fripperies like cabin comfort. Economy mode limits cabin heat and assuages feelings of guilt. SC
A remarkable thing happened to the Citroën ë-Berlingo while we had it on test. On the third day, without warning, it changed from being an expensive EV outlier in a range of piston-powered people carriers into the mainstream model.
Stellantis issued a terse release explaining that, henceforth, petrol and diesel versions of its van-based MPVs (including the Berlingo, Opel/ Vauxhall Combo and Peugeot Rifter triplets) would be electric-only in the UK and EU. Combustion would still power the commercial versions, but the family-oriented ones were goners.
