has a 171-litre boot. The ë-Berlingo M? 775 litres. Or 3500 litres if you fold the seats down. And it’s around £2500 cheaper.Even the range isn’t as limiting as you would think. Around town, it’s actually really quite efficient. It’s only when you venture onto a motorway that the aerodynamic inefficiency really kicks in and the range plummets.
