Citroen’s car and van range will gain an all-new Berlingo this year.

The change applies for both the van and Multispace mini-MPV version of the vehicle that has achieved UK sales of more than 170,000 since its launch in 1996.

Full spec details will be available closer to the launch, anticipated to be mid-2008, but Citroen has indicated the MPV will now benefit from a separate opening tailgate window and three individual removable rear seats.

The van version will now feature hill start assist and anti-skid control.

Pricing for both the van and mini-MPV will be revealed nearer the on-sale date.
