The all-new Peugeot Partner gets renewed with the soul of a passenger car

Peugeot incorporates technologies from passenger cars into the all-new Peugeot Partner to make this small commercial vehicle a completely new model.

The all-new Peugeot Partner is presented fully renewed and in line with what the PSA Group offers with its other two light commercial vehicles, Opel Combo and Citroën Berlingo. All of them, born from the new modular EMP2 platform of the Group, make up a wide range of commercial vehicles in which the Partner positions itself as the most outstanding in terms of comfort and equipment, since Peugeot has treated the new model as if it were just another passenger car. Sales begin in November of this year, 2018.

Closer to a passenger car

Despite being in radically opposite segments, the all-new Peugeot Partner arrives on the market fully renewed and standing out from the competition in terms of comfort and equipment. This is no surprise, since Peugeot has treated its light commercial vehicle as just another passenger car and fits elements more typical of other types of vehicles.

That is why the all-new Peugeot Partner comes equipped as standard with the Peugeot i-Cockpit found in practically all of the brand’s passenger cars. In addition, it has a flat-topped and flat-bottomed steering wheel to improve the view of the raised instrument cluster, and the dashboard is topped off with an 8″ touchscreen from which to control the various infotainment options. Its connectivity is guaranteed with Mirror Link, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

In terms of comfort and safety, the all-new Peugeot Partner also features novel options such as the Surround Rear Vision, a camera system that improves visibility when maneuvering; an overload indicator that warns when 90% capacity is exceeded; and some active safety assistants such as speed limit recognition, active unintentional lane departure warning, trailer stability control or the automatic emergency braking system, among other systems.

Range of the all-new Peugeot Partner

The renewal of the Peugeot Partner brings a wide range of options to suit the needs of users. Starting with the two different body versions, we find the Partner Standard, measuring 4.40 meters in length, and the long-wheelbase version, the Partner Long, which reaches up to 4.75 meters in length. Depending on the version chosen, the cargo volume ranges from 3.90 m3 to 4.40 m3 and a maximum payload capacity of between 650 and 1,000 kg.

A range that also offers different versions in terms of seating configuration. You can choose up to 3 occupants in the front row and up to a maximum of 5 passengers in total, with the Long body and Double Cab version. There is also a Grip version aimed at more intensive use and another Asphalt version that maximizes ride comfort for those users who spend many hours behind the wheel.

As for the possible engines, Peugeot announces two petrol options of its 1.2 PureTech engine: a 130 CV option with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and a 110 CV option with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Meanwhile, with the diesel BlueHDi option, the new Partner is available with 130 CV (6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic gearbox) and with outputs of 75 and 110 CV, both paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
