Citroën UK is adding a new trim level to top its 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 company has decided to offer a new range-topping model. The 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.
Since the launch last year, over 60 per cent of customer orders have been for the range topping Flair level trim and uptake of certain options, such as the Modutop Roof has been strong.
The new edition – Flair XTR – an exclusive new trim level for the UK, will top the Berlingo range and showcase the wide range of equipment available.
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).
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:
- Airbump panels with orange coloured surrounds on the first Airbump capsules
- XTR badging
- 17-inch ‘Spin’ Alloy Wheels
- Orange fog light surrounds
- Gloss black door mirrors and roof bars
- Front and rear scuff plates
- Dark tinted rear side and tailgate windows
Also standard are:
- Keyless entry and start – New Berlingo can be opened without removing the key from your pocket or bag. Once inside a simple press of the stop / start button is all that is required.
- Head-up display – relays key information via a transparent panel on top of dashboard, clearly in the driver’s line of sight.
- Automatic dual zone climate control.
- Power folding door mirrors.
