The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/peugeot-partner\"><strong data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1607\">Partner Pro Short<\/strong><\/a> opens proceedings at <strong data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1640\">$39,990<\/strong> before on-road costs; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/peugeot-partner\"><strong data-start=\"1667\" data-end=\"1679\">Pro Long<\/strong><\/a> is <strong>$3,000<\/strong> dearer.

The hike also covers extra kit such as LED headlights and dual-zone climate control.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1918\" data-end=\"1945\">Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2412\">Every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/peugeot-partner\"><strong>2025<\/strong> <strong data-start=\"1957\" data-end=\"1976\">PEUGEOT Partner<\/strong><\/a> scores the new 10-inch touchscreen, a matching 10-inch driver display and Peugeot\u2019s fighter-jet-style toggle shifter. Wireless smartphone mirroring cleans up the dash, and the \u201cMultiflex\u201d passenger bench still flips to form a desk or swallows awkward pipes through the bulkhead hatch. Cargo volume ranges from 3.9 m\u00b3 (Short) to 4.4 m\u00b3 (Long), with up to six tie-down points keeping freight honest.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2414\" data-end=\"2426\">Safety<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2427\" data-end=\"2809\">Peugeot has thrown the kitchen sink at active safety: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, driver-attention alert and traffic-sign recognition are standard across the board. A clever digital rear-view mirror streams what is happening behind the barn doors, eliminating the traditional van\u2019s massive blind zone.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2811\" data-end=\"2830\">Running Costs<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2831\" data-end=\"3242\">Official combined fuel use sits at <strong data-start=\"2866\" data-end=\"2882\">6.3 L\/100 km<\/strong> on premium unleaded, translating to about $11.30 per 100 km at today\u2019s metro prices. Service intervals remain annual or 15,000 km, and Peugeot\u2019s capped-price scheme averages a shade under $600 per visit over the first five years. That is steeper than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/renault-kangoo\"><strong>Renault\u2019s Kangoo<\/strong><\/a> program, yet residuals for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/peugeot-partner\"><strong>PEUGEOT Partner<\/strong><\/a> have historically held firm thanks to fleet loyalty.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3244\" data-end=\"3279\">Comparison To Its Competitors<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3280\" data-end=\"3861\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/volkswagen-caddy_5\"><strong>Volkswagen\u2019s Caddy Maxi<\/strong><\/a> beats the Partner on cabin polish and dual-clutch slickness but trails on sticker price and real-world running costs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/renault-kangoo\"><strong>Renault\u2019s new Kangoo E-Tech<\/strong><\/a> offers silent electric punch; until the e-Partner lands, Peugeot concedes the zero-emission crown. Meanwhile, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/toyota-hiace\"><strong>Toyota Hiace<\/strong><\/a> dominates on outright cargo capacity yet feels half a class bigger on tight CBD runs.

City couriers will appreciate the tech upgrade; weekend warriors will enjoy car-like manners and a cheeky turbo soundtrack.
