It IS sometimes challenging to find the right vehicle for your business transport needs, but now Peugeot has the right solution for you.
The new Partner panel van has arrived in South Africa and according to the French carmaker, it offers everything you need for a business such as cargo capacity, flexibility, handling and minimal operating costs.
Many small businesses need to move a lot of stock quickly which keeps them busy on the road most of the day. That is why they need a vehicle that’s both safe and comfortable to drive.
The Partner is a compact commercial vehicle with decent space. A key practical feature is that the cargo area doors can be locked and unlocked separately to the cabin doors – this can be very useful when you need to do stop-and-go dashes all around town.
You won’t battle to find storage space in the Peugeot Partner either. There are lots of storage bins such as the ones on the shelf above the driver and passenger area, and the bin under the driver’s seat.
It even has a bin on top of the dash, in front of the driver, for cell phones, logbooks or more.
The Partner also comes with many excellent safety features such as dual-front airbags, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, emergency brake assist and electronic stability program.
There is also an automatic drive-away locking feature, power steering, electric front windows, cruise control and a speed limiter.
What is more is that with the middle seat folded down, it becomes a three seater. Fold down the side seat and you’ll get more flat floor space which lets you carry loads of up to three metres long and up to 10cm in height.
With a payload of 850kg, a volume of 3,7sqm as well as a load length of 1 800mm and a width – between the wheel arches – of 1 230mm, the Partner’s loading capacity is among the best in its class.
The Peugeot Partner is balanced and strong. It is a vehicle which really improves the image of professionals and their businesses.
To give buyers peace of mind, the Peugeot Partner also comes with a three-year/100 000km factory warranty as well as a standard four-year/60 000km service plan. Pricing starts at R264 900.
