Citroën Berlingo Coupé de Plage, Berlingo Bulle and Berlingo Grand Large

Citroën unveiled three concept car versions of the new Berlingo at the 1996 Paris Salon.

Coupé de Plage

was styled in a manner evocative of the ZX Rallye Raide . In concept. it was not too dissimilar to the Méhari - while also drawing on the success of "leisure pick-ups" in North America. Perhaps a Berlingo pick-up is on the cards. This car was powered by the 1,8 litre engine from the Xantia, developing 103 bhp and offering a top speed in the region of 165 kph (100 mph).
