Peugeot facelifts Partner and Expert

Peugeot has given the Partner and Expert vans a midlife facelift with a sharper look at the front, cleaner engines with lower CO2 emissions and the introduction of a new engine start/stop system. The Tepee people carrier versions of both models also get the improvements.

The new models will be officially launched at the Geneva Motor Show next month before going on sale in the UK in mid March. As well as a new grille, bumper and bonnet at the front, both models now come with Euro 5 engines while the e-HDi models have the latest generation start/stop system.

Peugeot is also claiming best in class CO2 figures for both vans with the Partner emitting just 123g/km (125g/km in the Partner Tepee). The larger Expert puts out 168g/km (172g/km for the Tepee model) with the 2.0 HDi model while the 163bhp version of the same engine is now available with a six-speed automatic gearbox.
