With a strong reputation for reliability, comfort, and safety, Peugeot’s various models of modern and modular vans are versatile and productive. Depending on the configuration chosen, you can benefit from electric or combustion engines, an up-to-date navigation system, heated seats, and several modern driving aid systems

But which Peugeot van model is right for you and your business? Below, we highlight the current Peugeot van range as available to buy or lease in the UK. 

Peugeot Partner and E-Partner

Spanning 20 years of research and testing, the latest generation of Peugeot Partners come with a pros-tested seal of approval. Available in an efficient diesel or all-electric powertrain, Peugeot’s unique i-Cockpit adds to the convenience and comfort in this line of commercial vehicles. 

Ideal for a range of business needs, whether it’s self-employed professionals or fleet managers, the Peugeot Partner and e-Partner can be tailored to your specific needs. It’s available in Panel Van and Crew Van body styles with multiple specification levels: S Premium, Grip Premium, Professional Premium and Asphalt Premium.

Each spec design meets individual requirements. If you spend a lot of time on the road, and require good connectivity and navigation as well as ample storage then the Asphalt Premium is for you.

If your business requires you to drive on tough terrain, you need the Grip Premium with enhanced traction, and large 16” wheels with mud and snow tyres. It still has a massive 1000kg payload with LED lighting in the rear load area. 

The Professional Premium Standard van is great for carrying heavy, bulky loads. Whilst transportation of people and cargo is best done in the e-Partner Crew Van. 

Whether you opt for the Partner or the e-Partner, both versions benefit from the EMP2 modular multi-energy platform. Furthermore, the Peugeot e-Partner has an identical loading space and the same driving position as internal diesel engines.​ The 100 percent electric drive delivers up to 171 miles of driving range (WLTP), and has a towing capacity of 750kg. It’s available in both Panel Van and Crew Van, at either Standard or Long lengths.

Peugeot Expert and E-Expert

The Peugeot Expert van is the brand’s most-recognised commercial offering. Named the ‘Best Medium Van’ 2020 by Trade Van Driver, the Peugeot Expert van has a robust design that is supported with a wealth of elegant features. Business users will benefit from the well-balanced proportions of a van that aligns the front end, the driving position, and the load area to meet the needs of all your day-to-day operations. In addition, you have the choice of either a diesel or electric motor, which means more freedom to drive your preferred way. 

The Expert and e-Expert are offered in two silhouettes; Crew and Panel. These options can be further tailored as Standard, or Compact for Crew Vans, and Standard, Compact, or Long, for Panel Vans. Furthermore, motorists can configure to the trim level that matches their requirements; S Premium, Professional Premium, or Asphalt Premium. 

For example, the Asphalt version has been designed for drivers who will be spending long hours in the vehicle. Asphalt comes with top-of-the-range safety features and several driving aids as Standard. This includes front fog lights, smartbeam headlights, connected 3D navigation, lane departure warning, and recognition and blind spot monitoring to name but a few. 

I Inside, the Expert comes with all kinds of goodies. Superior driver comfort is achieved with an easy access elevated seating position, allowing the driver to dominate the road. The functional and ergonomic driving position also flows into the cabin space, where numerous storage compartments, a large 7” colour touchscreen, and the on-board Moduwork (swivel table and arm rest), all help to shape a comfy mobile office. 

The Expert is further elevated with many configurations now available in full-electric powertrain. The e-Expert was named International Van of the Year 2021. With an excellent battery capacity and range of 205 miles (WLTP), the e-Expert comes with a raft of specific tech and features. You’ll have the same driving position as the diesel option, an individual instrument panel displaying important driving info in real-time, and, more importantly, zero sacrifice on space (Compact model: 6.6 m3 load volume, and 1,226 kg payload). 

Use the MyPeugeot smartphone app to control and schedule e-Expert’s functions including battery charging, and pre-setting the interior heating. You’ll also get a complimentary six-month charging subscription, whilst the sleek exterior of the e-Expert is as powerful as the van’s performance capabilities. 

Peugeot Boxer and E-Boxer

A van that is designed to meet the needs of all professionals, the Peugeot Boxer and e-Boxer are great options for both independent businesses and fleet managers. Available in multiple versions, the Peugeot Boxer comes in two body styles; Panel and Window. This is bolstered with four trim options: S Premium, Professional, Grip, and Asphalt. Motorists have a good choice of equipment to pick from in the extensive line up. 

The Peugeot Boxer engines meet Euro 6.2 standard with power coming from a 2.2L BlueHDi engine available with three power outputs; 120hp with 300Nm of torque, 140hp with 340Nm of torque, and 165hp with 370Nm of torque. 

Both diesel and electric versions are equipped with Stop and Start technology as standard. The Boxer’s Grip version is perfectly adapted to difficult terrain while carrying heavy and long loads, equipped to cope with arduous environments. There’s grip control with hill assist descent control and all season tyres, reinforced suspension, under-body protection, and more. 

While the Asphalt version is dedicated to professionals who spend a lot of time in their vans and who particularly want comfort and safety features. There’s top-of-the-range satellite navigation, distance alert system, active safety brake, colour reverse camera and rear parking sensors, and both visibility and comfort seat packs. 

Fleet managers will be able to make use of the Peugeot Connect telematics software, fitted to all new Boxers. The system enables fuel consumption monitoring, vehicle tracking in case of theft or in a designated geographical area, maintenance monitoring, and eco driving tips.

The e-Boxer rounds up Peugeot’s most recent addition to the brand’s e-LCV range. Available exclusively in Professional trim, it comes in three different body styles; Panel Van, Window Van, and Chassis Cab. It can be configured in three lengths: L2 (5,413mm), L3 (5,998mm) and L4 (6,363mm). With the battery located underneath the floor of the vehicle, there is no compromise on practicality, as the e-Boxer comes with a 15m3 maximum load volume, 1,150kg maximum payload and up to 1.87m internal width on Panel Van versions.

With its all-electric powertrain, the e-Boxer is exempt from current congestion charge or Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) payments, adding another benefit for businesses and fleets.

With the 37kWh battery, the e-Boxer is capable of travelling up to 73 miles on a single charge (WLTP), while the 70kWh battery increases the van’s range to 139 miles (WLTP). The e-Boxer also supports 50kW rapid charging, allowing a 0-80% charge in just one hour.
