Car Deal of the Day: Forget that SUV, drive a Citroen Berlingo for just £198 a month instead

For three decades, the Citroen Berlingo has been a faithful friend to many families. It’s our Deal of the Day for July 20

  • Unmatched practicality for the money 
  • Frugal petrol power
  • Only £198.51 a month

Citroen is currently celebrating 30 years of the Berlingo – a faithful workhorse that has practicality and value at its core. And through the Auto Express Buy A Car service, you can currently get one for less than £200 a month.

The Berlingo, affectionately known a 'van with windows', is available for a mere £198.51 a month with Motorlet, undercutting a whole swathe of far less-flexible SUVs

Luckily this deal requires not the usual default 12-month initial payment, but a nine-month one – lucky because this saves you nearly £3,000 up front! The agreement is for three years with an annual mileage cap of 5,000 miles; 8,000 can be had for just £13.52 extra a month, or 10,000 for £20.55.

This deal gets you the entry-level trim in M guise, otherwise known as the standard wheelbase. Recently renamed Collection, it comes with a large 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 180-degree reversing camera, heated and power-folding door mirrors, and air-conditioning. 

While it may not have quite the commanding driving position of a Volkswagen Tiguan, you do sit up high in the Berlingo. Plus, thanks to its square proportions, it's easy to park and load items.

Lift the huge tailgate and you'll find a vast van-like boot (funny, that), and the sliding rear doors make loading a breeze in tight car parks. The back seats fold down easily for yet more carrying space, and even the front passenger chair tumbles to allow easier loading of long items. 

Under the bonnet is one of Citroen's 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engines. Despite having a modest 108bhp output, it's surprisingly perky, quiet and returns a claimed 46mpg.

The Berlingo is a very easy and stress-free car to drive. Soft suspension and light steering make for a very pleasant driving experience.
