We've gotten used to the fact that the 7-seater vehicle market is dominated by the Jeeps and crossovers like the Mitsubishi Outlander or the Skoda Kodiaq.

However, the upheavals that the manufacturers and importers are going through with the production, supply and inventory crises is bringing a spotlight to more creative solutions for transporting large families, those that in normal times might have been pushed back.



Two of them started to be sold recently in Israel and contrary to the usual statements that the importers make when marketing new models, this time things were done under the radar.

The two models in question are the Tiota Pro Ice City in a 7-seater configuration and the Citroen E Berlingo, the electric version of the Berlingo - two models that are actually the same car in a modified version.

Toyota's offer is based on the extended version of its sedan, the City.

Here it is paired with a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with 131 hp. The drive is front-wheel drive through an automatic transmission with 8 transmission ratios. If these figures sound familiar to you, then yes, this is the same engine that serves the multitude of Peugeot models - Citroën-Opel. And since this is a commercial sedan converted to transport passengers, no one expects exceptional performance here, and these are indeed modest - 12.3 seconds for maximum 100 and 200 km/h.



The extended Pro Ice City adds 35cm to the short version and stretches to 475cm in length, with the wheelbase adding 19cm to the wheelbase to 298cm.

The figure for the volume of the trunk when used in the three rows of seats has not been published, but when the third row is folded it registers 806 liters (measurement according to the VDA standard - up to the height of the belt).

This version comes in one trim level with a few differences compared to the short configuration.

Here there is an original 8-inch multimedia system with Android and Apple compatibility (local installation, 9-inch without compatibility in the short version), 6 speakers, chrome decorations on the sides of the vehicle, a 12V socket for the third row and more.

Beyond the differences, it is equipped with gear control levers, cruise control, sliding windows for the second row and more.



The safety systems include automatic braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure correction and speed sign detection.



The price of the 7-seat City is NIS 173,000, compared to NIS 187,000 in the case of the long Berlingo, which comes with only a 1.5-liter diesel engine.

And meanwhile in Citroen: electricity for 7

Citroën is expanding the range of versions of the Berlingo with an elongated configuration of the E Berlingo - the electric version of the successful Tendron.



In terms of drive, there is no difference compared to the regular electric Berlingo - a single engine with 136 hp and 26.5 kg and front-wheel drive.

Despite an additional weight of 155 kg, the declared range of 268 km is the same as the short version and, like the name, comes from a 50 kWh battery. The performance is also the same - 11.5 seconds for 100 and 135 km/h maximum.

The model supports fast charging of up to 100 kW.



The increase in dimensions compared to the short version is the same as in the Toyota (35 cm in overall length and 19 cm in the wheelbase).

The equipment includes an original multimedia system in Hebrew with connection to Android and Apple on an 8-inch screen, 6 speakers, an additional 12V socket for the third row of seats and more.

What doesn't she have?

Spare wheel.

Externally, this version receives turquoise decorations similar to the regular version.

The advanced safety systems include automatic braking, lane departure correction and integration of the speed sign detection system into the cruise control.



The price of the long Berlingo E is NIS 189,000 (NIS 7,000 more than the short electric version).

At this price, it is actually the cheapest 7-seater electric car in Israel.
