The author of this comparison probably doesn't read what they're writing. Almost 100 Nm is a small difference? XD And by the way, the Leaf is listed at 6.9 s to the first 100 km/h while the rival is over 8 s — that's not a small difference… it's a shame to read this comparison with so many mistakes; better to take a drive and judge for yourself.

Citroen Berlingo -ПО дизайну напоминает ,те летающее тарелки из фильма ФАНТОМАС.Где время когда Франция не имела представления ,как должен выглядеть автомобиль.

А вот PEUGEOT RIFTER -Это уже уровень моего представления семейного внедорожника-красовера,и рабочей симпатичной лошадки.Эго и выбрал за это .
