Peugeot Partner is Ireland’s best selling van of 2020

THE Peugeot Partner van, Continental Tyres Irish Van of the Year 2020, is Ireland’s best-selling van.

Capturing 6.91% share of the LCV market, up 0.8% year-on-year. Peugeot’s total LCV market share grew by +1.17% in 2020, driving the lion-brand up to now command 9.48% of the overall LCV market.

Colin Sheridan, Sales and Marketing Director at Gowan Distributors, Peugeot Importer in Ireland, said: “Despite the challenging market in 2020, Peugeot’s LCV performance has been very strong, as demand for the award-winning Partner, Expert and Boxer van continues to grow, backed by growing interest in our 308 and 3008 car derived vans. This year we look forward to adding the new all-electric e-Expert, e-Boxer and e-Partner to our LCV range”.

Boasting a modern, robust exterior styling, the Partner van is the first light commercial vehicle in the range to receive the acclaimed Peugeot i- Cockpit interior comprising a compact steering wheel and heads up instrument panel.

The Peugeot Partner, a former International Van of the Year winner, is available in a choice of six trims to ensure business needs are met: Access, Active, Active Plus, Professional, Professional Plus and Grip versions. Standard equipment from the Access model includes USB, Bluetooth and Jack connectivity, 15” wheels, spare wheel, driver and passenger airbags, overhead storage, rear panelled doors and full steel bulkhead.

Two major innovations can be found on the extensive options list: the Overload Indicator for safe loading within the maximum authorised payload and Surround Rear Vision, which provides blind-spot camera vision or rear view vision when driving (standard on Professional Plus trim).

Two diesel engines are available: a 1.5 BlueHDi diesel 75bhp 5-spd manual and a 1.5 BlueHDi diesel 100bhp 5-spd manual. Available in two lengths, payloads range from 650KG to 1,000KG and up to two
