1996 Citroen Berlingo Bulle (Heuliez)

Based on the Citroen Berlingo, the Bulle (Bubble) was presented at the 1996 Paris Auto Show. Great attention was paid to rear passenger space, and overall leg room was increased by extending the body. The rear individual seats could also be folded flat for additional luggage space. Powered by a 103-horsepower 1761cc engine, the Bulle also seated the four passengers in a conventional atmosphere with orange accents. Built in cooperation with Heuliez, the Bulle was never intended to go into production, despite is conventional appearance.

The Bulle or "Bubble" is a bold new vision of a family car which breaks the traditional mould. Designed to be both practical and fun, it presents a friendly, harmonious shape on the outside with lots of round and oval shapes while on the inside it is exceptionally roomy, airy and welcoming.
