Peugeot will add a
new Crew Van variant to its all-new Partner range. Based on the Long
Professional model, the Partner Crew Van is scheduled to go into production in
January. Pricing in the UK starts at £ 21,140 (US$ 26,000) for the PureTech 110
variant with the 6-speed manual. The two other available drivetrains are the
BlueHDi 100 5-speed manual and BlueHDi 130 EAT8 automatic.
What the new Crew
Van brings to the table in terms of practicality is a second row of three
seats, featuring a sliding and folding mesh bulkhead. This in turn allows for
flexible space for up to five people or more load capacity, depending on the
owner’s needs.
If you fold the
rear seats, you get a conventional load area with a maximum load floor length
of 2,000 mm that can be extended to 3,050 mm by
folding down the passenger’s seat. Total payload is rated at 850 kg, which is acceptable in a dual-purpose type of vehicle that most will use
to transport crew and equipment to work sites.
The
all-new Partner Crew Van is equipped with air conditioning, rear parking
sensors, cruise control with variable speed limiter, an alarm, one-touch
electric windows, DAB radio, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity –
all things you’d expect in a model that, along with its Citroen and
Vauxhall/Opel siblings, was awarded the 2019 International Van of the Year
title.
