Citroen launched the Berlingo in 1996. This highly innovative vehicle concept started a new trend in leisure activity vehicles.

Building on this trailblazing concept, Citroen consolidated its international performance. Since 2003, the Marque has occupied the enviable position of unchallenged European leader in the leisure activity vehicle segment, with market share of more than 26% at end-November 2007 (Europe 27). This segment still has potential since sales volumes in Europe are continuing to grow steadily. Adapting to all situations, the Berlingo meets a growing need for freedom and versatility in use. It is thus attracting a growing number of buyers. Overall at end-2007, the Berlingo had sold in more than one million units worldwide.
The New Berlingo will go in sale in the second quarter of 2008. It will be sold alongside the current Berlingo, which will still be available in some countries as an entry-level offering called "Berlingo First". With the Nemo Combi, Berlingo First and the New Berlingo, Citroen has developed a full range of leisure activity vehicles with complementary styling and features. This policy will enable it to meet the highly diverse needs of its customers.
