The French automaker has started testing the new 2018 Peugeot Partner commercial model. This is the first time the car has been taken to public roads, and so far it is an early prototype, so it was hidden from prying eyes with camouflage film. Peugeot Partner Tepee (Peugeot Partner Tepee) - compact MPV of class "L". The debut of the restyled version of the second generation of the model took place at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015. The car was originally conceived as a commercial van. And the developer succeeded. The 2018 Peugeot Partner Teepee is doing an excellent job. Also, the car can be easily adapted for family needs. It has rear sliding doors and a diesel engine. Photos of the 2018 Peugeot Partner can be viewed below.
According to foreign publications, Partner 2018 model year will be built on a new platform, which also formed the basis of the Opel Combo and Citroen Berlingo. These two models are produced at the same plant, and most likely the new Partner will be produced there as well. The new generation will receive an increase in dimensions, but due to the new platform, this will not in any way affect the weight of the car itself, which will not exceed the current generation of Partner. As well as Citroen Berlingo, the compact MPV Peugeot Partner received minimal changes in appearance. The designers of the French company redrawn only the radiator grille and daytime running lights, and expanded the color palette of the body paint with two new shades - Moka Gray and Artense Gray. However, the company, in addition to this, is paying attention to the front bumper, which in the Outdoor version, allegedly, has become stronger and less prone to chips.
Peugeot Partner Tepee 2018 appearance
Externally, the model will remain fully recognizable, but the front end will receive modifications. The presentation of Peugeot Partner 2018 will take place before the end of 2017, and the commercial vehicle will go on sale next year. The interior of Teepee's Partner did not bring any revolutions either. Its style and architecture remained intact. Innovations include an expanded selection of upholstery options and a modernized multimedia and navigation complex, the touch screen of which has become larger. Peugeot Partner, as before, is built on a platform with McPherson struts in the front suspension and a torsion beam at the rear. On the front wheels, the engineers of the French company installed brakes with ventilated discs with a diameter of 283 mm, and on the rear - with discs with a diameter of 268 mm.
But more importantly from the point of view of practicality, the volume of the luggage compartment of a compact van can vary from 642 to 2400 liters. The motor range of the Peugeot Partner Tepee has changed insignificantly after the restyling of the model. In it, as before, there are both gasoline and diesel units. In the first case, it is a 1.6-liter engine producing 90 hp. with. power and 132 Nm of torque, and in the second - 1.6-liter engines with a capacity of 75 to 120 "horses". In addition, at the beginning of 2016, the French have planned to expand the range with a 3-cylinder 110-horsepower engine, which, by the way, is destined to become the most economical. As for the gearboxes, the most powerful, 120-horsepower engine, works in tandem with a 6-speed manual gearbox, while all the rest have a 5-speed "mechanics".
Interior Peugeot Partner Tepee 2018
The seating position for the driver is high. He is given a good overview. This is facilitated by large rear-view mirrors. The rear side doors can be opened from both sides. This makes it easier to get into the car. The car has small dimensions, but the dimensions of the cabin are impressive. This is confirmed by the reviews of the owners. The photo is below. The trunk volume of the restyled version of the car is large. If you need to transport a large amount of cargo, you can dismantle the rear row of seats. Depending on the needs, one, two or three chairs can be removed at the same time. The trunk size will be 654 liters. Such a Peugeot Partner can be bought with mileage. The rear seats are easily dismantled. Therefore, the transformation of the cabin can be carried out quickly, without any effort. The trunk has a box above the door for storing small items. Access is possible from the passenger compartment and from the outside of the car.
Specifications Peugeot Partner Tepee 2018
A feature of the updated version is the availability of technical specifications updates. Peugeot Partner Tepee is offered with an updated powertrain. It's a 90 horsepower diesel. Its fuel consumption per 100 km is about 7 liters. Video test drive with this motor will be below. The car is also equipped with a turbocharger. The volume of the tank is 60 liters. The motor has traction for easy overtaking on the track. If you drive the car carefully, you will not hear the engine inside the cabin. The disadvantages of the Peugeot Partner, judging by the reviews of the owners, include the fact that the steering wheel of the car rattles a little during acceleration. But that disappears when the car picks up speed. technical characteristics Buy a Peugeot Partner is an opportunity only with mechanics.
This is a box that has five gears. Peugeot partner is not available with automatic transmission. The lever travel is large, but it itself is located on an elevation, and therefore it will take little time and effort to change gear. Reviews of the Peugeot Partner indicate that it is inconvenient to ride in a car in winter shoes, since the distance between the pedals is small. If in appearance the car resembles a commercial vehicle, then it is as easy to drive it as a station wagon, for example, the Peugeot 308, on the basis of which the car is built. Therefore, the technical characteristics of the Peugeot Partner are not very different. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 160 kilometers. It can accelerate to hundreds in 14 seconds. The recommended frequency of maintenance is 10,000 kilometers. Manufacturer's warranty - 2 years.
Salon Peugeot Partner Tepee 2018 photo
Inside, after restyling, almost nothing has changed in the model. This is not surprising, because there was no generation change. In addition, the refinement of the interior of the car took place not so long ago, in this regard, the improvement of the interior is not necessary. The driver, getting inside the car, immediately grasps the comfortable steering wheel. There are no unnecessary and unnecessary buttons on it, and there is nothing left on it at all, except for the horn. Behind the wheel is an interesting tidy with bright illumination. The center console is very freshened up. Now it has a multimedia system, which is also equipped with a large diagonal monitor. Thanks to him, it became possible to manage a large number of additional functions.
Next to this monitor there are interesting air vents, as well as buttons for controlling the air conditioner and other additional functions. The front row of seats of the Peugeot Partner 2018, as well as the rear row, amazes with their comfort and softness. Everything was done very efficiently and conscientiously. All this is done to make passengers feel as comfortable as possible in the car. The rear row of seats can be folded down and even stowed away. Thanks to this, the new product simply creates a huge amount of free space in the luggage compartment. The trunk is large, even for a minivan body, and the van has an even more solid cargo compartment.
Cost Peugeot Partner Teepee 2018
Nice is the fact that after the restyling, the price tags for the new product have changed very modestly. But the truth is this only applies to the Peugeot Partner 2018 in the back of a minivan. Now this car costs from 600,000 rubles in the minimum version. In a more expensive configuration and a different power plant, a model from France costs from 700,000 rubles. Unfortunately, now in Russia the exchange rate is very unstable, so this may negatively affect the cost of the novelty. It can be assumed that this car will cost much more than, for example, two years ago. And this is by no means due to the update.
Exterior Peugeot Partner Teepee 2018 photo
Let's say right away that the car began to look much better outwardly than its predecessor. Let the restyling and not global, but the designers paid serious attention to the external aspects. For the exterior alone, I already want to praise the French. Photo of Peugeot Partner Teepee 2018 in front The front end is the most modified component of the car. After all, here we see a completely new false radiator grille, a different front bumper, modernized optics. In general, I would like to talk about the headlights in more detail. The head optics are enclosed in a case of an unusual shape, which gives sophistication to the "front" of the car. The front bumper along the edges received special sections, similar to air ducts. They are, in fact, a trick, since these sections house compact round fog lights, and directly above them there are LED horizontal strips that act as daytime running lights. This architecture allows you to provide a very nice "face" for the car.

History of Peugeot Partner / Peugeot Partner
The Peugeot Partner utility vehicle appeared in 1997. Its uniqueness lay in the fact that with the dimensions of a golf-class passenger car, it had the carrying capacity of a commercial van, had a spacious five-seater saloon and a huge trunk. Structurally, the first generation Partner had a lot in common with the Peugeot 306, since both cars were made on the same base. If the cargo modification was simply called Partner, then the passenger one received the Combi prefix. In Italy, the car was known as the Peugeot Ranch. The first generation lasted on the assembly line without changes for six years and at the same time did not lose its relevance.
The appearance of the restyled version of the Peugeot Partner in 2002 only strengthened the position of this car in the market. The changes that have taken place cannot be called cardinal. The body remained the same, the general layout too. In fact, the car was just thoroughly retouched. The updated Partner received large big-eyed headlights, an upgraded false radiator grille and a re-shaped front fenders. The main element of the exterior is the pronounced "kangurin" of the front bumper, which on expensive versions is painted in body color. Combination headlights with smooth glass combine all front lighting devices: side lights, direction indicators, low and high beam headlights. Enlarged body-colored fenders and mirror housings give the vehicle a complete look.
The Peugeot Partner of the 2002 model year reflects the most progressive achievements of science and technology. For example, the rhythm of the wipers depends on the speed of the car, there is a system of smooth switching on and off the lighting, adaptive steering, air conditioning, cruise control, etc.
In terms of equipment, the restyled Partner is in many ways superior to its predecessor. The basic version is equipped with airbags for the driver and front passenger. On request, side airbags are also available, plus seat belts with pyrotechnic pretensioners, Isofix mounts for child seats, an additional brake light and a system for automatically interrupting the supply of petrol in the event of an accident.
The production range of Peugeot Partner includes front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. Several versions are offered: a 2-seater cargo van with a carrying capacity of 600 or 800 kg, a 5-seater Combi cargo-and-passenger van, and a 5-seater CombiSpace comfortable cargo-and-passenger van. The latest example of practicality and functionality. All versions received a new interior after restyling.
The rim of the steering wheel has become more plump and softer, there is a new dashboard and center console. It is noteworthy that on more expensive versions, the panel has a two-tone upholstery.
In the center of the dashboard there is a display of an electronic clock and an audio system. It is equipped with a display, which, when the engine is started, shows information about the mileage remaining until the next service, and about the engine oil level.
The comfortable steering wheel of reduced diameter, along with the traditional levers, has a cruise control system and a remote control for the audio system.
The number of places for storing various items has increased. In addition to all the pockets and niches of the previous model, the new Partner has a drawer under the driver's seat, as well as small caches at the feet of the rear passengers. Plus three drink can holders, a removable ashtray and a 12V socket.
The dimensions of the Peugeot Partner (4.11 x 1.79 x 1.8 m) made it possible to create an excellent salon with five full-fledged seats and ample luggage space. A sliding door and folding front seat backrests provide easy access to the rear seats. But access to the rear seats is not only through the sliding door on the right, but also through the front doors. If you need to transport something bulky, you can fold the rear seats and get a luggage compartment with a flat floor with a volume of 2.8 m³. The cargo compartment is separated by a mesh, and it also has a curtain that hides the contents of the trunk from prying eyes.
The weakest 1.1-liter engine has disappeared from the line of power units. Now, under the hood of Partner, one of the following units can be located: petrol with a volume of 1.4 liters or 1.6 liters, diesel with a volume of 1.9 liters / 69 hp. or 2.0 liter HDI with 90 hp. with "Common Rail" fuel injection system. The impeccable behavior of the car in motion is due, in particular, to the perfection of its chassis. The front axle is equipped with MacPherson struts and an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension includes two transverse torsion bars, an anti-roll bar and tilting shock absorbers.
The top version of Ushuaia differs from the base modification by grilles on the headlights and taillights, increased ground clearance, engine protection and a limited slip differential in the front wheel drive. The latter turns Partner into a car that can drive both deep snow and sandy beaches without any problems.
The second generation (in the back of B9) was officially presented in January 2008. The car differs significantly from its predecessor in all respects, both in style and technical equipment. The passenger version in the second generation was named Partner Tepee. The second generation car is based on the so-called universal platform 2 of the PSA concern for small and medium-sized cars, which, in particular, formed the basis for the Peugeot 308 and Citroen C4 Picasso passenger models. Compared to the previous generation, this has increased markedly in size. In the basic version, it is 24 cm longer and 13 cm wider, despite the fact that the wheelbase has grown by only 4 cm. Accordingly, the weight of the car has increased by several kilograms.
Instead of a torsion bar rear suspension, the car was equipped with a conventional beam with shock absorbers and springs, similar to that installed on passenger cars. As a result, Partner has become much more comfortable, but the cargo performance has decreased. However, this disadvantage is compensated for by a larger cargo space than in the previous generation.
The total volume of the cargo compartment has been increased to 3.3 cubic meters, and the carrying capacity - up to 850 kg. Folding front seats Multi-Flex when folded allows to increase the cargo space up to 3.7 m³, and the loading length from 1.8 m to 3 m. The manufacturer did not skimp on various storage niches, shelves and pockets in the cab. They are literally everywhere - above the windshield, on the front panel, in the doors and even under the front seats. Their total capacity, if all options are used, is 64.5 liters.
The excellent sound insulation of the car deserves special words. Peugeot specialists have done a great job, not sparing all kinds of shielding and noise-absorbing materials in the engine compartment and cab, as well as special seals in the front doors. In addition, the use of thicker side windows (3.85 mm) also played a role.
The 1.4-liter engine has disappeared from the line of power units. Now the weakest in the range is a 75-horsepower in-line four-cylinder 1.6-liter turbo diesel with a common rail fuel injection system. In addition to it, a 90-horsepower diesel engine and a gasoline engine of the same power and volume are also offered for the cargo van.
The passenger version of the Tepee has a longer engine range than its cargo counterpart. In addition to the ones mentioned above, this is another 110-horsepower 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a FAP diesel of the same power and displacement. A conditionally "off-road" version of Tepee, shod in tires of dimension 215 / 55R16, is called Outdoor and is distinguished by a ground clearance increased by 10 mm and the presence of a crankcase protection.
The model comes standard with anti-lock brakes, emergency braking assistance, dual front airbags, central locking, power windows and an audio system.
Another restyling of the model was made in 2012. Peugeot Partner 2012 model range combines all the best characteristics inherent in earlier releases: spaciousness, efficiency, reliability. In addition, the restyled version is distinguished by excellent driving performance, a comfortable interior and an interesting recognizable design. The car received a new radiator grille and emblem, front and rear lights, rear-view mirrors and wheel covers. Compared to previous versions, Partner 2012 has grown in length by as much as 240 mm (up to 4380 mm), and has become wider by 80 mm (up to 1810 mm). The wheelbase has also increased to 2730 mm.
The cargo compartment has also increased. The luggage compartment has grown by 51 liters and starts at 675 liters. If you fold the backrest of the front passenger and the middle one in the second row, you get an excellent compartment for transporting lengths up to 2 meters. For the convenience of loading long items, the glass on the rear door was made opening.
In the Partner Tepee 2012 version, there are only two front seats, unlike previous versions. The salon is spacious. The steering wheel is adjustable both in reach and in height. A glass roof is optionally installed. The list of options also includes the ESP system, which helps to get under way on hills, six airbags and a tire pressure monitoring system, etc.
The range of engines offers two petrol (90 and 109 hp) 1.6 liters and three diesel (75, 90, 110 hp). All engines are paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The power units are distinguished by excellent economic indicators (average fuel consumption in the combined cycle is within 8 liters) and modest dynamic characteristics.
Peugeot Partner is the perfect vehicle for small businesses.
4 / 5 ( 1 voice )
The Peugeot Partner is a front-wheel drive utility vehicle that is available in 2 main body styles: an all-metal van and a compact van. This machine can be used both for commercial purposes (cargo version) and for family needs (cargo-passenger modification) - in any case, without fear of active daily use.
Its serial "career" of this vehicle began in the summer of 1996, but the full-scale presentation took place only in the fall of the same year. It happened during the Paris International Motor Show. Today, cars are quite in demand in numerous markets around the world - more than 140,000 "heels" are sold every year. The practical model was last updated in 2015. The entire Peugeot range.
Car history
Cars similar to the Peugeot Partner have been produced for a long time. In the Soviet Union there was a similar car - IZH 2715. But the French model stood out from all analogues by an essential feature. Almost all other vehicles were three-volume with a clearly defined cab (often 2-seater), had an all-metal cargo compartment and an engine compartment.
But the Peugeot Partner decided to build on a different type, connecting the cargo compartment and the cabin (they were separated only by a grid). Despite such an unusual layout, the consumer fell in love with it very quickly.
I generation (1996-2008)
The Peugeot Partner I was presented for the first time back in 1996. At that time, the car market already possessed such "cars". Along with the appearance of Peugeot, the first version was released, which was the "twin brother" of the car. Cars differed only in decoration, dashboard and badges. If we take the remaining parameters, then the two machines repeated each other.
The Peugeot version was produced at the Argentine, Spanish and Portuguese factories, and the Italian market can buy a car under the name Peugeot Ranch. The Frenchman was a classic cockpuck van with a small bow and cargo compartment. The appearance of the "heel" turned out to be discreet.
Peugeot Partner I generation
One can highlight the presence of compact elongated headlights, a massive hood and a company nameplate. Inside could accommodate 5 adults, and the aft area allowed transporting up to 3 cubes of luggage. Thanks to its versatility and excellent working parameters, this vehicle is loved by many drivers.
The 1st generation Peugeot Partner, already in the first production period, was able to win the respect of numerous motorists from all over the world, thanks to its practicality, versatility and good performance.
The list of power plants had 1.6- and 2.0-liter turbodiesels, which developed 75 and 90 horsepower, respectively. In addition, they produced cars with a 1.4-liter 75-horsepower and 1.6-liter 109-horsepower "engine". A little later, a 1.9-liter naturally aspirated diesel unit was released, producing 69 "horses".
The debut Peugeot Parnter family came to the Russians a little later, but instantly became in high demand. Transport organizations used cars quite often in taxis. As time went on, and six years later, the company decided to modernize its "brainchild". The updated car was officially presented in 2002.
Partner 1st generation restyling Restyling touched on bumpers, taillights, headlights, a radiator grille and interior decoration. The main detail of the nose area was a clearly defined "kangurin" bumper, which was painted in body color (on expensive models). The headlights grew in size and began to look more massive, and they were also combined with lighting devices (turn signals, side lights, high and low beam headlights) into one block.
The appearance of the Peugeot Partner I generation is completed by restyling, the presence of large mirrors and fenders. Since the "refreshed" version of the universal machine came out, it was able to interest even more potential buyers.
The car of the debut family was awarded the prestigious International Van of the Year award in 1997.
The restyled version has received a large number of advanced devices. The car has special wipers, a modernized power steering and other progressive innovations. If we compare the previous car with the modernized version, then it was significantly better, especially in terms of equipment. The basic version had front (driver and passenger) airbags.
The cargo version provides only a double saloon and a cargo compartment with a volume of 3 cubic meters. All other variants have a luggage compartment with a capacity of 624-664 liters. The interior of the car has a large number of different compartments for small items and will be able to please with spaciousness.
Those sitting in the second row of seats will not experience discomfort. You can get on it with the help of rather large side sliding doors. They can be installed both on one and on both sides of the car. Most of the samples do not have a moving left side door. But in the models of the debut years of release, sliding doors were not provided.
They get to the second row of seats with the help of the reclined back of the front seat, which brings some discomfort. With the onset of 2003, the Peugeot Partner division was replenished with an off-road version - the Peugeot Partner Escapade. The machine has plastic arches, unpainted bumper corners and protective grilles for aft lights and headlights.
The off-road version has almost no technical difference from the standard model. This option received only a limited slip differential and a higher ground clearance, leaving only the front-wheel drive. The modernization also affected the engine list, which had 1.6- and 2-liter M59 turbocharged units. The most common power units are the TU3, with a volume of 1.4 liters and DW8B, with a volume of 1.9 liters.
The latter, in turn, has become one of the most economical and reliable motors in the world. When 2006 came, French specialists developed a 1.6-liter HDi turbodiesel power plant, delivering 75 and 90 horsepower.
This unit was developed by workers, Peugeot and. Production of the first generation was continued in Turkish factories, from which vehicles were sold to other countries.
II generation (2008-present)
When 2008 rolled around, many car enthusiasts were already anticipating the appearance of the second generation of the Peugeot Partner. The novelty again received a "double" in the form of the Citroen Berlingo MK2. The passenger-and-freight version of the Peugeot Partner, which received the name "Tipi", was officially demonstrated for the first time in early 2008, and the "full-scale" presentation took place in the spring of the same year during the already familiar Geneva motor event.
The cargo version received the VU index. If we compare the model with the previous generation, then the Peugeot Partner Teepee has changed dramatically. The changes affected the exterior, interior and technical "stuffing". With the onset of February 2012, the French car underwent the first restyling, which was limited only by cosmetic improvements.
Already in 2015, the practical five-door Peugeot Partner Tepee went through the second wave of modernization, which became more serious. They decided to tweak the car's appearance, make some changes to the interior, allocated new diesel power plants and expand the list of available equipment.
It is interesting that the debut family, the demand for which did not fall even after the release of the 2nd generation, was decided not to be removed from the assembly line. The car was named Peugeot Partner Origin. The first generation left serial production only in 2011. Just at this time, they stopped supplying cars to Russia.
Exterior
The second family was a fully-fledged new car, which was based on the same "cart" with its "relatives" and the Citroen C4. From the outside, the car remains a fully recognizable vehicle, however, it inherits a modified front end. The novelty was presented at the end of 2017, and it will go on sale this year.
The French company has always been known for its own creative ideas related to the appearance. Based on this, the exterior of the Peugeot Partner Tepee turned out to be quite memorable - there is a smiling contour of the front end, triangular headlights and a large bumper with a silver insert.
Peugeot Partner II restyling The hood of the car is quite flat and small, which makes it a little awkward for maintenance. But this is significantly covered by a massive windshield. As for visibility, the French "heel" is simply gorgeous, and this is based on the feedback from the owners of the model. The compact MPV received a black roof with rails, and an optional panoramic roof can be installed.
After the restyling, which was carried out by the specialists of the French company, the updated car began to look much better. The workers managed to slightly modify the shape of the optics, bumper and add more relief to the hood. The grille now looks more pronounced and has a chrome surround. Above the "fog lights", which have become more compact, there is a popular line of LED daytime running lights today.
Partner Teepee's drive for adventure comes primarily from the Outdoor performance. It features a black, unpainted front bumper to emphasize the strength and confidence of the vehicle. The five-door as if calls to go on a long journey along any road. The ride height is 141 mm.
It is allowed to get inside the Peugeot Partner Tepee from almost any direction. Thanks to the side sliding doors, you can open the doorway to the full width, which greatly simplifies boarding and disembarking. The large aft door that opens upwards to a wide angle makes it easy to load and unload luggage in the trunk.
French developers are seriously concerned about the functionality of their model. For example, when the car is parked in a compact parking lot, to get into the trunk, you can use not the door, but only the hinged glass, which allows for a variety of manipulations even in small spaces.
Longitudinally mounted roof rails can be used to fit cross-section slats and transport luggage weighing up to 80 kilograms. And thanks to fresh 16-inch eight-spoke alloy wheels from the Managua range, the owner will be able to highlight the perkiness of his restyled car.
In general, the modernized Peugeot Partner Teepee looks stylish, modern and, most importantly, practical. If earlier the model had a very large circle of fans because of its excellent functionality, then the new product is designed to significantly expand this circle.
Interior
The salon of the debut and second version of the "Frenchman" hardly stood out. This is due to the fact that before the release of the new model, she went through a restyling, and her salon has become more relevant. If we talk about the front console of the Peugeot Partner of the 2nd generation, then it has become more recent. This was achieved in part thanks to the introduction of a 7-inch color screen that also supports touch input.
This element represents the entertainment system, call control, navigation system and the flight computer. The steering wheel position is adjustable for height and reach, and the front seats have armrests. This vehicle tries to keep up with modern technologies and can offer the most relevant opportunities for synchronizing electronic gadgets.
This includes the on-board communication system via Bluetooth, USB-connector and the Mirror Screen function. The latter option, through a touch-type display, allows you to use the add-ons installed on the owner's smartphone. The driver's seat is now much more comfortable, and the controls are located in the necessary areas, which does not interfere with calm movement in the car.
A little incomprehensible inconvenient location of the button for activating the seat heating function, which was located on the side of the seat. When the driver fastened the belt, access to it was blocked, but this can hardly be called a serious flaw. For the interior decoration, French experts have selected good-quality finishing materials.
May please the level of fit of the details, which does not raise inappropriate questions. The seats installed in front are ergonomic and comfortable, and also have lateral support, which greatly facilitates the long journey. Rear-mounted seats can accommodate 3 passengers.
It is quite convenient to be there. As a separate option, it is possible to install an air conditioning system for people sitting in the back (located under the roof). The large number of different shelves, compartments and drawers in Peugeot Partner have always been famous. Given the stowed state, the luggage compartment could hold up to 675 liters of useful luggage, and if the rear seats are folded down, this amount grows to an impressive 3,000 liters.
Interestingly, the rear seats could be used as compact "chairs" when resting outside the city. The cargo version did not have a second row, so the volume of the luggage compartment was at the regular level. The carrying capacity of the last family (taking into account the owner) is 605 kilograms, and the model can tow up to 1,300 kilograms, but taking into account the presence of brakes on the trailer.
In general, everything in the Peugeot Partner Tepee salon is quite attractive. There is a light interior trim, an interesting front panel, a large number of shelves and a colossal transformation resource. This and much more often prompts potential buyers to look towards exactly Peugeot Partner 2.
Specifications
Power unit
The Russian market can offer Peugeot Partner Tipia with a pair of four-cylinder power plants. The first is a petrol 4-cylinder 1.6-liter EP6C engine, which received a multi-point injection system, variable valve timing and a sixteen-valve gas distribution mechanism.
As a result, the motor develops 120 "horses" at 6,000 rpm and 160 Nm of rotational forces at 4,250 rpm. The petrol version consumes about 7.1 liters for every 100 kilometers. Next comes the 1.6-liter DV6DTED diesel power plant, which has a turbocharged compressor, Common Rail fuel injection and an eight-valve gas distribution mechanism.
All this produces 92 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and 230 Nm of torque already at 1,750 rpm. The diesel version requires about 5.7 liters of fuel for every hundred kilometers.
Transmission
The Peugeot Partner engine is paired with a manual five- and six-speed gearbox, as well as a 6-band automatic transmission that delivers all the torque to the front wheels only. Based on the technical characteristics of the Peugeot Partner, the car can accelerate to 161-177 kilometers per hour, and reach the first hundred in 11.9-14.3 seconds (depending on which version).
Chassis
As the basis for the second version of the Peugeot Partner Teepee, they used a front-wheel drive "bogie" PSA PF2, which uses a steel body and a power unit located transversely. The front axle of the French car uses an independent suspension of the McPherson type, and the rear axle uses a semi-independent link structure. In addition, the stern received a deformable beam ("in a circle", with anti-roll bars).
The vehicle has a river-type steering complex and power steering. All wheels are equipped with disc brakes, which are still ventilated in front (283 millimeters), and there are regular discs (268 millimeters) at the back. All this is complemented by the electronic systems ABS and EBD.

The up-to-date technical means of the updated Peugeot Partner Teepee provide safety for the driver and passengers. It is worth mentioning right away the rear video camera, which starts its work automatically when the reverse speed is turned on. With the help of it, the owner visualizes the trajectory of the vehicle on a color display that supports touch input, and also makes maneuvers more safely.
Rear View Camera On top of that, there are front and rear parking sensors, which were installed by the specialists of the French company on both bumpers. They provide the ability to notice obstacles invisible from the driver's seat on the path of the car during parking maneuvers.
This equipment can be combined with a rear camera, which only makes parking easier. We did not forget about the automatic braking system and cruise control. The Outdoor version, if paid in addition, has a Grip control system that provides improved handling on the road through advanced traction control electronics.
Due to the rotary switch on the front panel, the owner is able to select the travel mode required at this period: "Snow", "Mud", "Sand", "ESP on." or "ESP off". This improves traction. Hill Assist will delight potential buyers.
He knows how to briefly hold the brakes of the car when the owner seeks to shift from 1st or reverse gear. It turns out that the car owner has some time in reserve to move his foot from the brake to the gas. The car has a system (ESP), which manages to keep under control understeer or oversteer "heel" during a turn and take the required action to save the car in a given direction.
We did not forget to integrate an anti-slip system into the new model, which, by adjusting the traction force of the power plant and the braking of some wheels, provides control over the car in bad road conditions. The cruise control system allows the driver to be at a constant speed limit without the need to additionally "gas".
And the speed limiter allows you to specify the maximum speed, beyond which the car will not be able to accelerate even if the car owner presses the gas. Also, in order to increase the level of safety and increase visibility on the road section, the specialists were able to equip the nasal "fog lights" with the function of lighting the inner turning radius when the car moves at a speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour.
Such a system of additional lighting is very necessary when moving in urban areas, driving through intersections and when maneuvering in a parking lot. Already in the basic configuration, the Peugeot Partner Teepee car has four airbags, three-point seat belts in the front and rear seats, as well as ISOFIX child anchorages for the rear row.
It is very pleasant that in order to increase the level of safety, the design of the vehicle was decided to be more thoroughly modified. Now the car has:
- Zones of programmed deformation, which more efficiently dampen the impact;
- A steering column that, in the event of a road traffic accident, moves away from the driver to reduce the chance of injury;
- strong load-bearing elements that preserve vital space inside the car during a rollover;
- a modified front part of the car, which, when hitting a pedestrian, allows you to minimize injuries.
Although the crash tests of the Peugeot Partner Tepee have not yet been carried out by the European company EuroNCAP, a similar French model, the Citroen Berlingo, has passed the test quite successfully. She managed to score 26 points, which corresponds to 4 stars.
Options and prices
The Russian market offers the 2018 model in 3 versions of equipment - "Active", "Outdoor" and "Allure". The French "heel" already in the standard version of the equipment will cost no less than 1,338,000 rubles. If the buyer wants to purchase a vehicle with a diesel power unit, then he will have to pay at least 1,438,000 rubles. The "top" version of the compact van is estimated at 1,450,000 rubles.
Partner Van Long Electric The basic equipment of the Peugeot Partner Tepee has four airbags, an electronic system ABS, EBD, AFU, a pair of electric windows, air conditioning, a function for heating and electric drive of external mirrors, steel 15-inch "rollers", an audio system with 4 speakers, cruise control with speed limiter function, hydraulic power steering, on-board computer, steering wheel adjustment for height and reach, fog lights, AUX output and 12-volt socket.
Tuning Peugeot Partner
A considerable number of car owners, wanting to give their car a unique look and "rejuvenate" it, resort to a variety of tuning. External tuning of the Peugeot Partner Teepee can include the installation of various linings on the wheel arches, including chrome, a transverse trunk for roof rails with a lock, fly swatter, visor, bulbs in "turns" with the option of running lights, rear arc, bumper guard, front pipe , rear bumper protection, side platforms, glass edging, covers for exterior mirrors and door handles, mud flaps and so on.
Tuned Peugeot Partner In addition, this includes a beautiful and rather rare airbrushing on a car. The installation of external light lighting, for example, of the neon type, will also look unusual. Inside the Peugeot Partner Tepee, some owners install other seat covers, decorative lining for the torpedo, floor and luggage compartment mats, other lighting, and also improve the audio system by purchasing more powerful speakers or an amplifier. If someone does not have enough factory soundproofing, then you can improve it on your own.
Peugeot Partner Teepee is a full-fledged front-wheel drive minivan, comfortable and nimble. When designing it, the manufacturer took into account the peculiarities of operation in Russian realities, thanks to which the car received additional steel engine protection, reinforced suspension and a full-size spare wheel. In terms of equipment, this representative of commercial vehicles meets the highest standards: airbags, high-quality interior trim, comfortable second-row seats, a cruise control system, a panoramic roof and an increased volume of the luggage compartment.
Dimensions (edit)
The overall dimensions of the car are 4380x1810x1801 mm, the wheelbase is 2728 mm, and the ground clearance is 141-148 mm, depending on the selected configuration and the wheel disks used. The payload of the Peugeot Partnet Tepee ranges from 430 to 640 kilograms, making it a real cargo van.
Dynamic characteristics
The impressive performance of the Peugeot Partner is made possible by the use of a range of powerful engines. The model is equipped with 4-cylinder 1.6-liter engines with power from 90 to 120 hp. At the same time, the maximum speed is 177 km per hour (it is provided by a gasoline power unit with a capacity of 120 hp), and the maximum torque is 215 Nm (equipped with a 90-horsepower diesel engine). The gearbox is a classic five-speed manual.
Fuel consumption is one of the most important properties of any commercial vehicle. In the case of the Peugeot Partner Teepee, the manufacturer managed to achieve harmony between power and economy. The most attractive performance is demonstrated by the equipment equipped with a diesel engine: 5.2-6.7 liters per 100 km of track. The fuel consumption declared by the manufacturer for gasoline engines varies from 6 to 10.8 liters per 100 km.
With the release of Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot began developing a car of a similar class. It must be a reliable and competitive LCV-class representative. This was the Peugeot Partner Teepee. For technical characteristics and features of this model, see our today's article.
Design
Peugeot has always been famous for its creative ideas about design. The exterior of the Peugeot Partner Tepee is quite memorable - a smiling silhouette, triangular headlights and a huge bumper with a silver insert.
The hood of the car is very flat and compact, which causes some inconvenience during maintenance. However, this is more than offset by a huge windshield. The visibility of the French "heel" is simply gorgeous - say the reviews of the owners. Peugeot Partner Teepee has a black roof with roof rails. A panorama setting is offered as an option.
Note that recently the Peugeot Partner Tepee has undergone a restyling. You can see what the updated Teepee looks like in the photo below.
The French slightly changed the shape of the optics, bumpers and gave the hood more relief. The radiator grille has become more pronounced, with a chrome surround. Above the fog lights (which have become more compact) there is a strip of running lights.
Dimensions, clearance
The Peugeot Partner Teepee is 4.38 meters long, 1.81 meters wide, and 1.8 meters high. Due to its squareness, the machine can accommodate up to five people. But the clearance for Russian conditions is not enough. The standard ground clearance is only 15 centimeters.
Salon
The interior design is modest. It's no secret that the Tipi was developed on the basis of the Partnerner truck. You don't have to think about luxurious finishes and leather seats - everything is as simple and practical as possible. The center console may house a small multimedia display with navigation. The center console is equipped with a radio and air conditioning control unit. Remarkably, the gearshift lever is part of the panel extension.
Yes, it does not come straight out of it. But the characteristic "beard" that stretches through the salon is not here. This allows you to increase the free space in the car. Landing is almost a captain's, but a lot of adjustments allow the driver to adjust everything as much as possible "for himself." There are niches and glove compartments everywhere - you won't have any questions about where to put your things. The trunk is designed for 675 liters. If necessary, its volume can be increased to 1350 liters. By the way, the carrying capacity of the "Frenchman" is as much as 650 kilograms. The car has the same platform as its cargo counterpart. Therefore, the car can easily withstand significant loads.
A feature of the Peugeot Teepee is a panoramic roof (shown in the photo below), available as an option. It consists of four glasses - it looks very unusual. The windows have a tint film, thanks to which the interior does not heat up in the heat.
Another "secret" of this car is the built-in fragrance capsule. It is built into the air. As it enters, the air is saturated with a pleasant aroma of citrus. We also note that as an option, the manufacturer can complete the Teepee with an air conditioner (two-zone), rain and light. Electric windows are available as standard.
Specifications
Peugeot Partner Teepee is distinguished by a wide range of engines. There are both diesel and gasoline units. Let's start with the latter. The base is a 1.4-liter four-cylinder unit. Its maximum power is only 75 forces. Of course, with such an engine, the car will have sluggish technical characteristics. Peugeot Partner Tipi 1.4 accelerates to a hundred in 17.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 148 kilometers per hour. How much gasoline does the Peugeot Partner Teepee consume? Fuel consumption is about 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
The middle in the lineup is the 1.6-liter unit with 109 horsepower. With it, the car gains 100 kilometers per hour in 12.2 seconds. The maximum speed is 160 kilometers per hour. Remarkably, this engine consumes as much as the previous, 75-horsepower unit.
The flagship in the petrol lineup is the 1.8i unit. Its power is 147 horsepower. Acceleration to hundreds takes less than nine seconds, and the maximum speed is limited to 170 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption in mixed mode does not exceed nine liters.
Diesel
The line of "solid fuel" units is also extensive and includes three power plants. The base engines are 1.6-liter HDI engines. Depending on the degree of shaping, these two engines deliver 75 and 90 horsepower. Their fuel consumption is the same - 5.4 liters per hundred. Acceleration to one hundred takes 15.4 and 12.9 seconds.
After restyling, the Peugeot Partner Teepee (diesel) was equipped with a 110 horsepower unit. This is a direct fuel injection engine that complies with the Euro-5 standard. Fuel consumption - 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed mode.
Suspension
The car is equipped with independent front suspension. At the back there is a classic "beam" suspended on coil springs. Shock absorbers are hydraulic, but rather rigid. Only when fully loaded will the machine run smoothly.
Conclusion
So, we found out what the technical characteristics of "Peugeot Partner Teepee" have, design and features. This car will be an excellent choice for large families. Thanks to the generous luggage compartment, you can take whatever you want with you and more. The cabin is comfortable enough and with an economical diesel engine you won't notice the fuel costs. Yes, this car has poor acceleration dynamics. But still, its purpose is completely different.
