Choose the Loading Pack combining enhanced LED lighting in the rear load area and an additional 4 mid-height load securing rings.
Instruction of use: the regulatory rip-resistant net must be used to prevent any risk of objects loaded through the long load hatch moving towards the driver. All-new Peugeot Partner is available with adjustable Multi-Flex seating. This equipment allows for a flat floor, giving an increased load volume of 0. Tall loads can be transported by lifting and folding the side seat base into the seat back. There are four trim levels available, the fleet-minded Partner S, the Partner Grip, which is geared towards the construction industry, plus the Professional and Asphalt, which offer car-like levels of kit.
While these trim levels have different names to Citroen's, prices and specifications for the Partner are virtually identical to the Berlingo Van across the board. That means standard kit is essentially the same, although the other main difference between the Partner and the other vans is its i-Cockpit layout.
This sees a small steering wheel added, with the dashboard dials set above it. It's a layout that some drivers might find awkward, so it's well worth trying before you buy. All vans getting offset double rear doors, a full steel bulkhead, a single sliding side door twin doors are standard on Long and Crew vans , a reach and rake adjustable steering wheel, auto lights, six load hooks in the load area and Bluetooth, among others.
Despite this off-road set-up, the Partner is front-wheel drive, whichever model you go for. Grip, Professional and Asphalt models all get a three-seat cab layout. This Multi-Flex folding seat also sees an electric parking brake added - which helps take some strain out of driving - while the seats flip and fold to create more storage. Also included is a through-load facility for the bulkhead that allows longer items to be carried.
On top of this Asphalt vans add body coloured bumpers, alloy wheels, sat-nav and rear and nearside cameras, although all of these extras can be added to lower spec models from the extensive options list. Peugeot offers a variety of packs that bundle options together into better value packages.
The Surround Rear Vision Pack adds front and rear parking sensors also available separately , plus a rear camera and nearside camera to help with blind spot visibility.
There's also a Safety Pack which adds lane assist, speed limit recognition and active braking alert, while the Safety Pack Plus adds auto main beam, tiredness alert and traffic sign recognition. On top of that, you can add the Drive Assist Pack with adaptive cruise control on selected models.
It's the same engine you'll find in the Peugeot car range, with the lower-powered engines featuring a five-speed manual, while the has an eight-speed auto. All models come with stop-start as standard.
All vans get electric windows, a full steel bulkhead, sliding side door double sliding doors on Long and Crew Van models , a reach and rake adjustable steering wheel, six lashing eyes for the cargo floor, a trip computer and central locking with deadlocks.
The Partner Grip is a variation on the base model, rather than being a complete trim upgrade. It adds the Multi-Flex seat layout with through loading and two passenger seats, tyre pressure monitors, and an electric parking brake, while the overload indicator shows when the van is exceeding its maximum gross vehicle weight. There's plenty of useful safety kit, climate control, an alarm, alloy wheels and body coloured bumpers, although these do bump list prices higher.
Fortunately, you can cherry pick the specification that's right for you, because most of the tech that's standard on top-spec models is also available as a cost option on lower spec vans. Extras include a second sliding door for Standard vans, glazing for the load doors, vinyl and plywood floor linings, plus extra lashing eyes and load bay lighting.
There's more kit available to make life easier for the driver, too. Grip Control is offered as an option on non-Grip models, as are the rear camera systems, side guard sensors and climate control, while all of the Partner's safety systems are available either as standard or in option packs. Economy is the Partner's strong point thanks to its diesel engine range.
The lower powered BlueHDi 75 has a best of All vans come with a litre fuel tank, while the AdBlue tank measures at 17 litres, while the van's trip computer will warn you when this needs refilling.
The Peugeot Partner has a development of the old Partner's platform at the rear, although a comprehensive redesign has made more space and increased payload weights. Different models have different payload weights, but these range from kg for the least powerful Partner BlueHDi 75, up to 1,kg for the BlueHDi in Standard body guise.
The Long van has payloads ranging from kg, while the Crew Van has an kg payload. Cargo volume for the Standard van is 3. Go for a Long van, and cargo volume is 3. The Crew Van offers 1. In terms of dimensions, the cargo area has 1,mm between the wheelarches, so it's wide enough for a Europallet to fit between them. There's a load lip that's mm high, rising to mm for the Partner Grip the range is mm for the Long model.
Finally, there's a load length of 1,mm for the Standard van and 2,mm for the Long version, which has a longer wheelbase and an extended rear overhang to create more space. The Multi-Flex through-load facility increases this to 3,mm and 3,mm respectively. Multi-Flex also adds a sturdy vinyl bag that helps prevent long items from damaging the interior. Access to the load area is via split rear doors that offer an opening of 1,mm high and a load width that ranges from a maximum of 1,mm to a 1,mm minimum.
The side door slides open to create an opening that measures 1,mm high and a minimum of mm wide. The Standard van has a single sliding side door, while the Long van has double doors.
You can add a second door to the Standard van, and all doors can be had with windows, as can the steel bulkhead.
Award-winning small van that's versatile and good to drive. Want to know why? Read our Peugeot Partner review and we'll take you through all the pros and cons of this clever little van. This latest Peugeot Partner was first launched into the UK in early , making it one of the newest small vans on the market.
Traditionally one of the bestselling light commercial vehicles in all of Europe, it tempts buyers with keen value, a great driving experience, impressive amounts of technology and high payload ratings. We're not expecting any major changes for , but Peugeot is planning to launch an electric van version called the Peugeot e-Partner before the end of the year.
This will be based on technology similar to the bigger Peugeot e-Expert , and we'll cover it in full detail as soon as more information is available. As ever, the Partner and the Citroen Berlingo are the same van underneath the branding, though the differences in the cabin are more obvious this time round, with the Partner adopting Peugeot's novel i-Cockpit dashboard layout and tiny steering wheel. This Partner also shares its platform with the contemporary Vauxhall Combo Cargo following the British brand's purchase by Peugeot's parent company the PSA Group in , and there's a Toyota version badged Proace City as of as well.
In addition to this in-house competition, the Partner also faces stiff challenges from the Volkswagen Caddy and Ford Transit Connect , with the Ford typically being the bestselling small van among UK buyers.
Other rivals include the Renault Kangoo and Fiat Doblo Cargo , though both are feeling their age at this point. The Partner launched in January with tried-and-tested 1.
However, the 1. All come with manual gearboxes, while top-flight engines are available with an optional EAT8 eight-speed automatic gearbox. The Partner is available in two body lengths: Standard L1 and Long L2 a bit simpler to understand than the Berlingo's M and XL , with extra length gained from a stretched wheelbase and extended rear overhang for the longer version.
These mirror the options available on the Citroen Berlingo, giving buyers a choice between more utilitarian models intended for roles such as working on building sites, or slightly more luxurious versions to suit long-distance drivers who spend lots of time behind the wheel. Both will swallow a pair of Euro pallets - for more info see our dedicated Peugeot Partner Dimensions page. Up front, Standard models can come with either two or three front seats, while as of October the Long model is available as a Crew Cab with a second row of seats, meaning you can have up to five seats in total.
As such, the more traditional layout found in the Citroen, Vauxhall and Toyota could convince potential Partner buyers to opt for them instead. The Peugeot Partner has a load bay large enough for two Euro pallets, high payload ratings, a wide range of efficient engines, and a safe, secure drive. This is a substantial enough set of accolades to see the Partner join its family members as Parkers Small Van of the Year for two years running in the and Parkers New Car Awards.
Where the Peugeot distinguishes itself is with that interior design, as it has a layout that you might find difficult to get used to. That said, the Transit Connect remains well worth a look, too, and since everything else about the Partner is identical to its siblings it will always be worth seeing what kind of deal the local Peugeot dealer can do for you. Unsurprisingly, the Partner drives pretty much exactly the same as the Berlingo, Combo and Proace City, thanks to shared underpinnings and engines.
This range was updated for Euro 6. As such, the BlueHDi is the bestseller, blending low fuel consumption with enough power and torque to be easy to drive on the motorway without feeling out of its depth.
The only issue with this engine is that it comes with a five-speed manual as does the BlueHDi 75 meaning it can get a little noisy at motorway cruising speeds, leaving you wanting a sixth gear. The BlueHDi is the only one to get a sixth gear, giving it much greater flexibility on country roads and motorways.
This also helps it to be more refined than the others though all the 1. The six-speed manual gearbox feels a little slicker and more pleasant to use than the five-speeder, too. The is also available with an eight-speed automatic gearbox — badged EAT8. The PureTech petrol is a 1. However, the petrol could make sense to those using the Partner mostly in town, as petrol is better suited to short journeys than diesel, and should be cleaner in terms of harmful particulate emissions, too.
That said, it does become a little gruff when driven hard, and it will require quite a bit of gearchanging to ensure swift progress at all times. The steering is light and quick to respond to inputs, which makes manoeuvres easy. Much of this is down to the small steering wheel, which delivers quite a darty sensation when turning.
This can seem slightly odd at first, however, and you may find yourself turning too much initially. Higher-spec models come with greater levels of insulation around the windscreen and windows, making them delightfully quieter.
