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 ($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 (79 inches) that can be extended to 3,050 mm (120 inches) by folding down the passenger’s seat. Total payload is rated at 850 kg (1,874 lbs), which is acceptable in a dual-purpose type of vehicle that most will use to transport crew and equipment to work sites.
As for specs, 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.
