On sale late 2008

12 years after its market debut, the Peugeot Partner (aka Citroen Berlingo) advances to its next generation model. The new Peugeot Partner will go on sale in the second half of 2008 as the Partner Tepee (passenger version) and the regular Partner LCV. The outgoing model will still be available in certain markets, but will be re-branded to Partner Origin.

The new Partner is 4.38 meters long and can hold up to 3.3 m3 (or 850 kg) of cargo, the load area length is 1.8 meters but can be extended to 3 meters thanks to the new Multi-Flex passenger seat, adding 400 liters of load space.

The Partner Tepee comes with the new Zenith multi-purpose roof providing more light in the passenger compartments, three individual folding rear seats and 308 driving dynamics due to the 308 power train. For those wanting to take the Partner off-road, you will be happy to know that Peugeot will offer a Partner Tepee Outdoor.

Press Release

Launched in 1996, the Peugeot Partner has been extremely successful in both its small van and MPV versions, with regular year on year increases in global sales over the past eleven years. Capitalising on the success of the first generation Peugeot Partner, Peugeot will launch a new version of the Partner
in the second part of 2008.

With the launch of the new Partner, the first generation Partner model will, however, continue to be sold in certain countries with a reduced range of models and will be known as the Partner Origin.

The new Peugeot Partner: professional efficiency down to the last detail

With a refreshing and dynamic style which is perfectly adapted to the demands of its professional customer base, both with regards to quality, durability and efficiency, the new Partner is the perfect working companion due to its versatility and value for money. In terms of practicality, the new Partner has a maximum load capacity which will be a new reference point in the small van segment. With a length of 4.38m the new Partner has a load volume of 3.3m3 and a maximum payload of up to 850kg. The load area length of 1.8m can also be extended to 3m thanks to the new innovative Multi-Flex passenger seat, giving 400 litres of additional load space. This innovative feature allows three people to sit in the front which is the first time this option has been available in the small van segment.

Thanks to the use of the Peugeot 308 power train, the new Partner benefits from improved acoustic comfort, combined with an ergonomic driving position and excellent visibility. This all combines to give the new Partner a level of quality which will symbolise this new generation of small vans.

The new Partner puts the finishing touches to the complete enhancement and renewal of the Peugeot range of light commercial vehicles. The new and extended range which is even more innovative, offers a range of vehicles from 2.5m3 to 17m3, consisting of the Bipper, Partner Origin, new Partner, Expert and Boxer.

Peugeot Partner Tepee: the MPV that lets you enjoy the freedom of the open road

The new Partner Tepee MPV represents the next generation of a concept invented by Peugeot in 1996. The Partner Tepee is a multi-usage vehicle which is practical and which has a modern and original style both, on the inside and the outside. Its modular styling will appeal to customers requiring space and versatility. Most notably, it has a new Zenith multi-purpose roof providing even more light into the passenger compartment, three individual folding rear seats, greater interior space and driving qualities worthy of a modern hatchback car.

Adventure seekers, however, will also love its all-terrain capabilities and the personalised design of the Partner Tepee Outdoor.
