FactItalian coachbuilder Caselani turned 200 Berlingos into retro vans modelled on the 1951 2CV Fourgonnette.
The third-generation Berlingo and the new Peugeot Rifter were unveiled at the 2018 Geneva show on the PSA EMP2 platform, as passenger vans and panel vans. The same vehicle is sold as the Peugeot Partner and Rifter, the Opel and Vauxhall Combo, from 2019 the Toyota ProAce City and from 2022 the Fiat Doblò. An electric ë-Berlingo arrived in January 2021, and a facelift was revealed on 23 October 2023. It was the first Berlingo sold in Japan, from October 2019.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Italian coachbuilder Caselani turned 200 Berlingos into retro vans modelled on the 1951 2CV Fourgonnette.
This humble French delivery van's electric version wasn't home-grown — its motor and battery were borrowed straight from the Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
In 1998 Citroën built a range-extender hybrid Berlingo — the Dynavolt — pairing nickel-cadmium batteries with a tiny 500cc LPG engine just to keep them topped up, two decades before 'range extender' was a buzzword.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
