For This is the cheapest way into a diesel Berlingo, and that alone makes it attractive. It will also save you a possibly crucial few hundred pounds over the equivalent HDi 90.
Against VT-trimmed cars are sparse, so we'd go for something better equipped. Other than the money saving, there’s no real benefit in choosing the HDi 75. The ’90 is stronger and matches this engine for economy.
This isn't a bad package, but you can get a much better one - in terms of equipment, power and performance - for not much more, and that's what we'd recommend doing.
It’s important to decide how you plan to use your car before you decide which engine will be best for you. The petrol engine has enough oomph for it to keep up with family hatchbacks, but it's worth going for something a little stronger (ie diesel) if you plan on regularly carrying full loads.
Before you buy any Citroen – and the Berlingo is no exception – check websites and phone dealers to check the latest offers. The company’s own website is a good place to start, with an ‘Offers’ section that you can click through to from each car’s ‘homepage’.
Also, given that the basic specification is pretty sparse and you may well be buying some options, look closely at the various 'packs', which bundle together some useful options at tempting prices.
