Choosing the perfect family vehicle in 2024 requires a balance between utility, innovation, and comfort. Two contenders from Citroen, the Berlingo and the SpaceTourer, offer substantial versatility in different ways. Let's compare these two models to discover which could be your family's next adventure partner.
The Citroen Berlingo, with its high roof wagon design, appeals to those who appreciate a compact and efficient look. With its length ranging between 4403 mm and 4753 mm and a height slightly under 1850 mm, the Berlingo ensures that city driving and parking are convenient. Its trunk capacity of up to 1050 liters suggests it can handle your essentials without a hitch.
On the flip side is the SpaceTourer, a member of the bus category, designed to transport large families or groups with ease. Stretching to an impressive 5333 mm in length and standing 1890 mm tall, it offers a voluminous trunk space reaching up to 2011 liters. Ideal for families who need to carry substantial amounts of luggage.
The Berlingo presents a versatile selection of powertrains, including diesel, petrol, and electric options. Depending on the engine type, it offers power outputs between 102 and 136 HP, paired with a maximum speed of 184 km/h. The electric variant also stands out with an impressive range of up to 345 km, perfect for eco-conscious drivers.
The SpaceTourer combines robust performance with eco-efficiency. It offers a choice between electric and diesel engines, reaching up to 177 HP. Although the diesel variant provides a solid acceleration of 10.6 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, the electric models offer an impressive range of up to 351 km, tailoring to long-distance travelers.
Inside the Berlingo, families will find seating for five, with a focus on ergonomics and simplicity. The payload capacity of up to 840 kg ensures you can load it generously for all your family's needs.
The SpaceTourer elevates comfort with options for up to nine seats, truly setting it apart as a people mover. With versatile seating arrangements and payload capacities reaching 910 kg, it is perfect for larger families or group excursions.
Fuel efficiency is increasingly critical, and the Berlingo delivers with consumption rates as low as 5.3 L/100 km. The electric model consumes 18 kWh/100 km, reflecting its efficient green credentials with a CO2 efficiency class ranging up to 'A'.
In contrast, the SpaceTourer, while larger, manages consumption of 7.3 L/100 km on diesel and 24.3 kWh/100 km on electric. Additionally, the electric SpaceTourer model offers an eco-friendly experience with zero emissions.
The Citroen Berlingo is an ideal choice for those looking for a handy, smaller vehicle with efficiency and electrification at the forefront. For larger families or groups wanting more space and the ability to take along more passengers and luggage, the Citroen SpaceTourer stands as a paragon of comfort and capacity.
Ultimately, both models bring forward Citroen's dedication to enhancing family travel through innovative design and eco-conscious engineering, leaving you with the pleasant dilemma of choosing what best suits your lifestyle.
