2019 Peugeot Expert Review - In-Depth Roadtest | Vanarama.com

If you have visited our YouTube before today, you’ll already know that we have reviews of the Citroen Dispatch & Vauxhall Vivaro (two of the four medium vans that platform share) so we're delighted to now be standing here with the brand-new Peugeot Expert… only one more of them to go until we get the full-house! ( To check out our latest leasing deals on the Peugeot Expert, click here: https://bit.ly/3PjaaJG ) Now, this van is a fleet operator’s dream, a tradesperson’s treat, and you might just find this van to be everything you need in a medium-sized commercial vehicle. So, what say we give it the all-important Vanarama Road Test then? Before we get started, we just wanted to take a moment to say that we hope you enjoy watching this review, and, if you do, please subscribe to our channel & click the bell to get notified when we post more content just like this. And don’t forget that if you’re ever in the market for a new van or pickup truck, head to Vanarama.com! Now, with that done… let’s get stuck in! Let’s start where we normally do & take the whole vehicle in… this is Peugeot’s version of the PSA Group’s medium van built on the excellent EMP2 platform, & while the back end may look familiar, the front end is markedly different. First, there’s the Peugeot badge, the name below on top of this nice-looking black plastic grille. The headlights are a Peugeot-only cluster & our favourite so far. The Vivaro & Dispatch share the same cluster, so it’s nice to see the Expert has a different look altogether. The big steel wheels look great, just like the ones used on the other EMP2 platform sharers, & the whole van is a great shape that packs a lot of space into a deceptively compact profile. So that’s the outside. Let’s get in have a look around the cabin. Let’s be clear… this is a shared platform from the PSA Group stable… the interiors of the Dispatch, Vivaro, Proace & Expert are very similar… but it’s worth a look around the Expert to show you all the details. Build quality is excellent & tough. The Professional trim level is Peugeot’s no-nonsense tough & durable trim level. There’s even a hard-wearing rubber covering down here with that lovely shiny sheen. At the PROFESSIONAL trim level, you get: • Cruise Control & Speed Limiter • Driver & Passenger Airbags • 1-Touch Electric Windows • Vauxhall Connect Security & Safety Systems • 2-hour coffee break alert! Connectivity: • Apple Car Play • Android Auto • Bluetooth • USB Door storage is bobbins… as are the cup holders. The glove box is good though… & we like the little tray above the gear stick. These seats have some nice storage in too, & there’s a bit of storage over your head. Like I said, it’s all no-nonsense in here. So, before we head out on the road to give it the all-important road test, let’s get to the other place in this van you need it to be no-nonsense. Back door height: 1.2m Back door width: 1.3m Load length: 2.5m Load-through length (MODUWORK): 3.7m Load height: 1.4m Load width: 1.6m Load width (arches): 1.2m 3 Euro pallets Side door height: 1.2m Side door width: 0.9m Payload: 975kg (but the range can carry up to 1400kg) Those dual side-sliding doors, coupled with an excellent payload mean that even in the highly competitive medium sector, this van has a few plus points over the competition. So, how do we finish this one? Well, the Peugeot Expert already had a good reputation even before it started being built on the PSA Group’s medium van platform. And now it is, it’s tougher, more practical & easier to keep running than ever before. Why else would the Royal Mail have outfitted their fleets with them? Because they can handle the type of punishment only the nation’s mail company can dish out. If that doesn’t put them on your medium van shopping list, I don’t know what will.
