Citroën UK is adding a new trim level to top its New Berlingo passenger car range. Due to the demand for the Flair trim level and the uptake of certain options, such as the innovative Modutop Roof®, the French brand has seen a clear opportunity to offer a new range-topping model that fully reflects the virtues of this multi-award winning MPV. New Berlingo Flair XTR will be available as 5-seat M size and 7-seat XL versions. Production will start in July 2019 and prices start from £23,630 and £25,330 respectively.
New Citroën Berlingo is a modern and robust leisure activity vehicle, which continues to be a favourite amongst families with active and varied lifestyles. In January 2019, this practical and fun latest-generation MPV was awarded the prestigious ‘Best MPV’ accolade at the highly coveted What Car? Car of the Year Awards.
Since the launch last year, over 60% of customer orders have been for the range topping Flair level trim and uptake of certain options, such as the innovative Modutop Roof®, have been so strong that Citroën UK has spotted a clear opportunity to offer customers a new high-end trim level, Flair XTR, that amplifies the virtues of this class-leading MPV.
The new edition – Flair XTR – an exclusive new trim level for the UK, will top the New Berlingo range and showcase the wide range of equipment available. The new model will remain user-friendly and family-oriented with class-leading space, practicality and design.
Flair XTR versions offer the same outstanding modularity as the original Feel and Flair trims, including up to 28 ingenious interior storage spaces, boot capacity of up to 775-litres for the M size and 1,050 for the XL. In addition, the Flair XTR trim will now boast the following features, as standard equipment:
- Modutop Roof® – a panoramic glass roof that floods the passenger compartment with light and includes an electric interior blind. It also features a floating translucent arch with background lighting, extra storage spaces and a special storage compartment at the rear that is accessible from the second row and the boot (M size only).
- Opening rear tailgate window – allowing easy access to the rear storagte in the Modutop Roof® storage and the boot. The parcel shelf can support up to 25kg.
- Magic Flat® Function – three individual seats with independent controls mounted in the side of the boot facia that allow customers to create a flat floor for easy loading. (M size only).
With the same modern and refined styling cues as the rest of the New Berlingo range, Flair XTR versions offer a wide range of personalisation options. The new model is available in eight body colours (Soft Sand, Aqua Green, Cumulus Grey, Platinum Grey, Onyx Black, Deep Blue, Passion Red, Polar White).
To complement each of the eight body colours, Flair XTR models also feature the following exterior design enhancements, as standard:
