The brand is no stranger to the award – they’ve won in four other times, including in 1997 for the first-generation Berlingo.
Citroen telling us the judging panel, comprised of 25 journalists and editors from a selection of LCV magazines, praised New Berlingo Van for its two sizes (M and XL), as well as its comfort and safety features.
