Both mid-sized vans get a facelift including a wider grille, a new chevron badge rising up to the headlights and a new headlight arrangement. The rear of the vans sport the updated Citroen badge.
The Berlingo (pictured) is now available with Grip Control to improve traction plus hill-start assist, while the interior features new Gazyban grey trim upholstery.
HDi and e-HDi variants on both models can be specified with a fixed speed limiter with a choice of four limits.
The manufacturer claimed it has cut emissions on the Berlingo HDi 75 from 136g/km to 133g/km and reduced CO2 on the HDi 90 by 2g/km to 138g/km. The greenest model in the range, the e-HDi 90 Airdream with stop/start technology, has claimed CO2 emissions of 123g/km.
The upgraded Dispatch also gets Grip Control. It comes in four modes: normal, all-terrain, snow or sand.
The addition of aerodynamic panels under the body and a volt control function to optimise battery charge management by the alternator have helped to cut emissions from 182g/km to 177g/km on the HDi 90 engine and from 179g/km to 168g/km on the HDi 125.
Pricing for both models will be released closer to the 2 April on-sale date.
