If you’re looking for a versatile, mid-sized van that offers style, size, and technology, the Peugeot Expert might be just what you need. Whether you choose the efficient diesel version or the full-electric E-Expert, there are plenty of reasons to fall in love with this vehicle. Let’s dive into what makes the Peugeot Expert stand out in its class.
- A Van That Knows Its Market
The Peugeot Expert is built to compete in the popular medium-sized van market, going up against heavyweights like the VW Transporter, Vauxhall Vivaro, Mercedes Vito, Renault Trafic, and Ford Transit Custom. It's a tough field, but the Expert doesn’t go it alone. This van shares its design platform with its sister models – the Citroen Dispatch, Vauxhall Vivaro, Toyota Proace, and Fiat Scudo. By pooling resources and design expertise, Peugeot ensures that the Expert is more than capable of holding its own in a crowded field.
- Power and Efficiency Options to Suit Your Needs
The Peugeot Expert gives you straightforward choices when it comes to engines, all of which are designed to cater to different types of work:
Diesel Engines: For lighter loads and urban driving, the 120hp 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel engine is a great option. For heavier work or longer journeys, the more powerful 145hp 2.0-litre BlueHDi engine is available with either a manual or automatic transmission.
Electric Option: For those looking to go green, there’s the E-Expert. This electric version comes with a 75kWh battery and offers a range of 217 miles, making it a practical choice for city deliveries or environmentally conscious businesses.
- A Comfortable and Practical Driving Experience
Driving the Peugeot Expert is a breeze, whether you’re navigating tight city streets or cruising on the motorway. The van’s design includes special wishbone filtering that helps smooth out bumpy roads, and its variable stiffness springs and shock absorbers provide impressive comfort levels whether you’re carrying a full load or driving empty. The cabin is also well-refined for a van, with a quiet ride enhanced even further in the E-Expert model.
The E-Expert offers different driving modes— ‘Eco’, ‘Normal’, and ‘Sport’—to balance performance and efficiency. Plus, a regenerative braking system helps recharge the battery while driving, adding to the van's practicality.
- Sleek Design and Modern Technology
The updated Peugeot Expert features some subtle but smart design changes, such as a new front grille with the latest Peugeot emblem and, in higher trims, LED headlights and body-colored bumpers. Inside, the van's cabin has been refreshed with a larger 10-inch touchscreen and a new 10-inch digital instrument cluster.
- Practical for Everyday Use
The Peugeot Expert is designed with practical needs in mind. The panel van version provides some of the best interior space in its class, with loading lengths up to 4.02m and payloads up to 1,400kg. Need to tow? No problem—the Expert can handle up to 2.5 tonnes. For easy access, twin sliding side doors come as standard, and you can opt for doors that open with a simple wave of your foot—a handy feature when your hands are full.
When it comes to running costs, the diesel models deliver between 45-55 mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 133g/km, making them efficient and eco-friendly options. For the E-Expert, charging is convenient with options for fast charging that can get you back on the road in just 45 minutes.
- A Smart Business Investment
For businesses, the Peugeot Expert makes a lot of sense. It combines versatility, comfort, and efficiency in a way that’s hard to beat. With its large dealer network and competitive pricing, Peugeot has set up the Expert to be a smart choice for many operators.
