What's the Peugeot Partner like to drive?
The Peugeot Partner will provide you with a safe and highly comfortable driving experience. The latest model has been designed with a high driving position, refined suspension and well-insulated interior. What's more, is that the front of the van's features parts from the firm’s latest EMP2 platform that underpins many Peugeot passenger cars, while the rear of the Partner uses the previous van platform. This partially new structure offers better handling and impressive manoeuvrability compared to its competitors. Overall, the Partner provides good visibility and tidy handling, which helps prevent it seeming too big or cumbersome on tighter roads, whether that’s in town or on a twisty lane.
Peugeot Partner - Performance
In the Partner, you will enjoy remarkable driving pleasure with the latest BlueHDi technology combined with a 6-speed manual gearbox or 8-speed automatic. What's exciting, is that you have the option to choose diesel or electric versions that will offer something different. The BlueHDI 100 is a great van for both city driving and long-distance. If you need to transport heavy payloads, then the BlueHDI 130 would be more beneficial with its high power output. Table below displays the engine information for the Partner:
Peugeot Partner | Power outputs | Transmission |
BlueHDi 75 | 75hp / 170Nm | Manual |
BlueHDi 100 | 102hp / 184Nm | Manual |
BlueHDi 130 S&S | 131hp / 221Nm | Automatic |
