Citroen has added a new range-topping trim level to its e-Berlingo line-up in the form of the seven-seat flair XTR XL.

Exterior changes include a set of 17-inch ‘Spin’ alloy wheels, gloss black roofing bars, as well as front and rear scuff plates. There are also some other changes such as orange foglight surrounds, XTR badging and ‘Resada Green’ interior ambient lighting.
Since Citroen’s Berlingo range is now exclusively fully electric, this new e-Berlingo is powered by a 100kW electric motor linked to a 50kWh Lithium-ion battery pack using a WLTP range of up to 174 miles on a single charge.
This, like all other e-Berlingo electric models, can be recharged up to 80% in 30 minutes at a public rapid charging station (up to 100kW), and in 7½ hours by means of a 7kW single-phase 32A home wall charger.
Prices for the Citroen e-Berlingo flair XTR start at £31,995 for the M version and £32,995 for the XL variant. using the plug-In car grant, prices start at £29,495 for the least expensive Berlingo model variant, but the XL does not qualify for the grant.
