Citroën Nemo Multispace
The Nemo van was developed to sit below the big selling Berlingo van in Citroen’s light commercial vehicle range. The first generation Berlingo just happens to be the vehicle that did most to popularise the van based MPV concept in the UK market with its Berlingo Multispace derivative. Since then, Citroen has never really looked back, bringing us low cost people carrying versions of its second generation Berlingo and the larger Dispatch van. It always looked likely that the diminutive Nemo would get the same treatment. Launched in 2009 with either a 75bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine or a 70bhp 1.4-litre diesel, the Nemo Multispace lasted a year before it received major underbonnet surgery. In September 2010 the 1.4-litre units were replaced by a far more efficient 1.3-litre diesel good for 75bhp. Where the 1.4-litre car was available with a Sensodrive automatic gearbox as an option, the 1.3-litre successor gets a choice of manual or sequential EGS transmissions.
