The New Peugeot Expert LCV

April 26, 2019
The all-new Peugeot’s Expert is designed to respond to a variety of different uses and the search for efficiency by business professionals across their vehicle fleet and arrives with next-generation technology as standard.

Available in two body lengths, all featuring three-seat configuration, the Peugeot Expert offers up-to 6.6m3 of cargo volume and 1,300kg of payload capacity, while accommodating a load length of up-to 4 metres.

The standard and long wheel base versions, at 4.95m and 5.30m respectively, are designed around the core of the light-commercial-vehicle market. While its reduced overall height of 1.90m, guarantees the new Peugeot Expert access to all car parks.

Expert offers several segment-first, or leading features, particularly:

  • First to market, standard fitment of Autonomous Emergency Braking/Active City Brake (AEB)
  • Blind-spot monitoring, reverse camera and Driver Attention Alert is a boon for business operators
  • Four airbags including driver and passenger airbag, along with curtain airbags to both occupants
  • Peugeot’s flexible ModuWork system, allowing for load lengths of over 4-metres
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Standard fitment of dual-side sliding doors with 180-degree rear barn doors

Brand new from the ground up, the all-new Expert benefits from all the advantages of PSA’s highly awarded and modular EMP2 platform delivering: compactness, reduced weight, efficient drivetrains and high levels of quality.

The Peugeot Expert range will launch with three turbo- diesel drivetrains, with a range of manual, or six-speed, full-fluid automatic paired to select engines.

Inside, an SUV-like driving position offers a commanding and comfortable view of the road. While standard fitment of an integrated 7” touchscreen allows for fitment of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard – giving professionals a true mobile office experience.

Practicality aside, the all-new Expert range brings Peugeot’s design flare to the LCV segment, with Peugeot’s signature upright grille featuring the brands signature Lion at the centre of the grille.

In terms of safety, it has the highest level in its category, achieving a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP tests.

While running costs and warranty are also generous featuring 12-month, 20,000km service intervals;  backed by a 5 year, 200,000 kilometre warranty.
