At a competitive price of only £11,435 MRBP*, the increased payload of the Berlingo First 750 is part of a package of changes, changes that include the adding on of an under-the-body engine protection plate and a revising of suspension. The changes have resulted in an increase in the gross body weight of the van of 225kg, bringing the gross body weight from 1,730kg to 1,955kg and also an increase in the braked towing capacity to 1,070kg.
Other specifications of the Berlingo First 750 includes high-frequency remote central locking, electric front windows and passenger mirror and a sliding load door located on the near side. These features come as standard equipment on the Berlingo 750 First.
Robert Handyside who manages commercial vehicle operations for Citroën remarked that Citroën’s Berlingo First now is even a better budget selection for those buying vans. Handyside pointed out that with the recent payload and towing increases, the Berlingo First is a practical and economical choice for a broad range of businesses.
