SEVEN SEATER SHOWDOWN! IS CITROEN’S £32K E-BERLINGO BETTER THAN MERCEDES’ £55K EQB?

EV Channels Review

This video pits the practical Citroen e-Berlingo XL against the premium Mercedes-Benz EQB, both offering seven-seat electric options in a limited market. The reviewer highlights the EQB's upscale interior, refined driving experience, and stronger performance, but criticizes its tight third row (dubbed a '5+2' configuration) and high price point starting over £55,000. The e-Berlingo, while less luxurious and with a more basic interior, is praised for its exceptional practicality, cavernous space, and significantly lower price (under £32,000). Its third row is more accommodating, and the seats can be removed entirely for van-like cargo capacity. However, the e-Berlingo's limited 168-mile WLTP range and slower acceleration are noted drawbacks, making it better suited for local use. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests the EQB is the 'nicer' car, but the e-Berlingo makes more financial and practical sense for those prioritizing space and value, despite its compromises.
