The What Van? Road Test: Citroen e-Berlingo (2021)

Detail Rear Drs

Load bay

Access to the 3.8m3 load area is by means of a sliding door on each side of the body and through asymmetric twin rear doors. The narrower of the two is on the offside. 

They can be swung through 90°, and through 180° if you unlatch the easy-to-release stays.

Six floor-mounted tie-down rings are fitted plus one at waist height on each side of the cargo box.

Two more rings are attached to the full-height steel bulkhead, which separates the cab from the cargo area. It features a hatch at floor level that allows extra-long items to be pushed under the passenger seat.

The floor is protected from scratches and scrapes by a tailored hard plastic cover (an option), while plastic panels afford some protection to the sides to half their height. Deep side rubbing strips are fitted externally to help protect the body from minor damage.

An optional on-board weighing system was fitted to our demonstrator with buttons positioned just inside the back doors on the nearside. It should help ensure operators do not overload the vehicle, which is something we can only applaud.

A 12V power socket was positioned just inside the back doors on the offside; handy if your job involves the use of power tools.
