PEUGEOT South Africa has launched the new PEUGEOT Partner in the local market, expanding its light commercial vehicle range with a compact van designed to meet the demands of modern urban business operations.
“The PEUGEOT Partner represents an important step in the growth of the PEUGEOT brand in South Africa,” said Moeketsi Mapogo, Brand Head: Pro One LCV at Stellantis South Africa. “As we continue to expand in the light commercial vehicle market, businesses are under increasing pressure to do more with less, making affordable and dependable mobility essential. The new Partner is designed to meet that need, combining low running costs, practical functionality and modern technology in a commercial vehicle built for everyday business demands.”
Efficient performance and practical design
The 1.6-litre HDi diesel engine powers the PEUGEOT Partner, producing 68 kW and 230 Nm of torque through a 5-speed manual transmission.
Strong low-speed pulling power supports urban delivery cycles and frequent stop-start operation, while fuel consumption is rated at just 5.1 L/100 km, helping reduce running costs for business users and fleet operators.
Two body styles are available – the SWB (Short Wheelbase) at R479 900 and the LWB (Long Wheelbase) from R508 900
The SWB configuration provides a load length of 1 817 mm, while the LWB extends this to 2 167 mm and enables up to 4.4 m³ of load volume with the Multiflex bench seat arrangement.
The LWB derivative support payload of up to 1 000 kg.
Practical access is enhanced through dual sliding side doors and 180-degree rear doors, supporting efficient loading and unloading in tight urban environments.
The PEUGEOT Partner is designed for demanding daily use in dense traffic environments and frequent stop-start delivery cycles. Compact external dimensions support easy manoeuvrability in urban settings, while payload capacity, fuel efficiency and durable engineering ensure consistent performance in high-utilisation operations.
