- Partner van scores an update across the range for 2022
- Broader model range and newly-available automatic versions lead changes
- Expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2022
The Peugeot Partner van has been treated to an update for 2022, with a new structure and automatic transmission on long wheelbase models headlining the changes.
A new entry-level City variant, priced from $26,990 before on-road costs, opens the range for 2022. The starter version sits at the same point as its equivalent in the MY21 model, but loses its touchscreen infotainment system and autonomous emergency braking. It retains otherwise identical standard equipment.
The mid-range Pro adds an 8.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, reversing camera, climate control, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, flip-down table and a full suite of active safety equipment.
This includes; autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist and traffic sign recognition. It’s priced from $32,990 before on-road costs, with an automatic transmission included as standard.
A $2490 ‘premium’ option package is available for Pro variants, boosting standard equipment to include; a set of 16-inch alloy wheels, leather steering wheel, body-coloured exterior styling, electronic folding side mirrors and keyless entry with push button start.
