Coming in 2019, Peugeot will launch three all-new commercial vehicles, all available from Continental Cars. The Peugeot Partner, Peugeot Expert and Peugeot Boxer vans come as standard with Autonomous Emergency Brake, Reverse Camera and Rear Parking Sensors – a first for Australia.
Peugeot have placed emphasis on vehicle safety, with each of the three new vans featuring high levels of standard safety specification, including the first vans to market featuring Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) range-wide as standard. This is backed up with a minimum of four airbags as standard, with driver and passenger airbags complimented by either a side curtain, or thorax airbags.
To ensure the highest levels of customer satisfaction, the vans will also be supported by a substantial five-year, 200,000 kilometre warranty.
PARTNER
The new Peugeot Partner will be available in two body lengths, and is built on a version of the EMP2 platform that underpins Peugeot’s highly awarded passenger car and SUV portfolio.
This tried-and-tested base enables shorter overhangs and a small turning circle for easy manoeuvring: the kerb to kerb turning radius is only 10.82m for the standard-length van and 11.43m for the long-body version.
In terms of payload, the Partner offers one of the best in the segment, with load capacity of up to 1000kg, and a cargo area of up to 4.4m3 – depending drivetrain and body length.
In addition it will have Autonomous Emergency Braking/Active City Brake (AEB), leading lane-departure warning, front and rear parking sonar, surround rear-vision camera, six-airbags (passenger and driver front airbag, 2x curtain and thorax airbags), speed sign recognition with recommendation paired with electronic speed limiter and left-side sliding doors with 180-degree barn doors rear for easy loading and unloading.
The Partner will come in a range of drivetrains and transmission pairings, either manual or full-fluid automatic.
EXPERT
The Peugeot Expert will be available in two body lengths, all featuring three-seat configuration, offering up-to 6.6m3 of cargo volume and up to 1300kg of payload capacity with a load length of up-to 4 metres.
The standard and long versions, at 4.95m and 5.30m respectively, are designed for the core of the light-commercial-vehicle market. Its reduced height of under two-metres, guarantees the new Peugeot Expert access to all car parks.
The Peugeot Expert range will launch with three turbo-diesel drivetrains, with a range of manual, or six-speed, full-fluid automatic paired to select drivetrains.
In addition, the Expert will have Autonomous Emergency Braking/Active City Brake (AEB), blind-spot monitoring, reverse camera and Driver Attention Alert, four airbags including driver and passenger airbag, along with curtain airbags to both occupants and dual-side sliding doors with 180-degree rear barn doors.
BOXER
The Peugeot Boxer will be available in two body lengths featuring over 11.5m3 (13m3 for long body) of cargo volume, with a maximum load length of 3.1-3.7m.
Since its European launch in 2014, more than four-million kilometres of testing, development and improvements have been completed in some of the most extreme conditions; covering full load, half load and empty situations, on all types of roads, including poor surfaces and mountainous areas.
Furthermore, the all-new 2.0L BlueHDi diesel engine was tested for over 10,000 hours and subjected to over 1,300,000 kilometres of driving tests to prove the drivetrains capability in the real-world.
The Peugeot Boxer range will launch exclusively with a turbo-diesel, manual drivetrain. In addition it will include Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), reverse camera, rear parking sonar and four airbags (driver and passenger airbags, with thorax airbags for both occupants).
