Citroën earned two famed LCV accolades in the Company Car and Van Awards 2021. The Multi-Award winning Citroën Berlingo Van is named ‘Small Van of the Year’ with the Citroën Dispatch taking the coveted ‘Medium Van of the Year’ prize.
This is the third consecutive win for Citroën Berlingo in the Company Car and Van Awards, having previously taken home the ‘Small Van of the Year’ trophy in 2019 and again in 2020. This recognition from Company Car and Van magazine continues an impressive run of form for Berlingo Van and for the Citroën LCV range as a whole.

Add in the tech-friendly cabin, excellent build quality and impressive full economy and you have one of the leading vans in the sector.”
