Peugeot Traveller review: eight-seat MPV tested

SPEC HIGHLIGHTS

That's not pretty.

No, but it's pretty useful.

It's an eight-seater. People-carriers and SUVs normally stop at seven. And you'd feel pretty useless if you drive off having left one of your intended passengers standing at the kerb.

But it's a van with windows…

It is, but not so crude as you might expect. Eight-seaters tend to fall into two sorts. The ones that really are vannish, with industrial cabins of hard walls and bare metal, and year-2000 equipment. Then there's the VW Caravelle and Mercedes V-Class that do at least have car-like trim and modern equipment, but cost a very stern £50k-ish each. This is £10k less, even in leather'n'nav trim.

So what exactly do we have here?

The Peugeot Traveller. (AKA Citroen SpaceTourer and Toyota ProAce Verso. They have different grilles and kit lists, but are essentially the same.) It's in Allure trim here, with the middle of its three available lengths. Size matters of course, and this one is below 5m long and, critically, under 2m high so it'll fit multi-storey car parks. It's handy and manoeuvrable, but it will still fit eight. In comfort.

Adults can fit in the third row – they'll have enough leg-room and width and their seats, like row two, individually recline.

Separate air-con is provided for the rear half with aimable vents, sunroofs, reading lights and electrical outlets. That goes to make the people in the back feel kindly treated.

The words 'executive shuttle' come to mind.

Sure, there are obvious commercial uses for this thing, but it does have family-and-friends relevance too. It's pretty flexible. The Allure has two front seats, three behind and three more in the tail.

Also, you've got to go a long way to find a vehicle that can take three Isofix child seats in one row, let alone two rows as this one can.

Rows two and three split-fold and both of them slide. That leaves good opportunity for making the boot bigger.

There's a boot?

Of a sort. Behind row three it's 603 litres, a very tall space, but cramped front-to-rear. Though you can expand it by sliding row three forward a bit. You do get a parcel shelf. Beware – because the boot is tall, everything has to be stacked upright and tends to topple out when you open the tailgate. A partial solution lies in the tailgate glass, which opens independently.

All the seats fold, but only by dropping the backrests, not tumbling too. So they're still an obstruction. You can actually take them right out, but that involves deploying major muscle groups. Or a crane. Then comes the issue of storing them outside the vehicle.

Top Gear tests usually don't put the boot before the driving. but it's going to feel like a van, surely. Looks like a van. A van with chrome grille, fancy headlights and a set of alloys. Lipstick on a pig.

Sure, it's a very van-like driving position: you sit upright with your legs pointing down not forward. But it's not uncomfortable, even over a long haul.

Beyond that, the dynamics do make a passable impression of a car, albeit not a brilliant one. Much of the platform is actually shared with Peugeot's mid-size cars such as the 5008. So the suspension is mostly placid, and the ride decently supple. This does not happen with most vans.

The steering is remote and low-geared, but otherwise cornering is capable. Anyway, handling agility is about the last trait you want when there are six mouths behind you waiting to vomit down the back of your neck.

Anything in the way of performance?

The engine is a 150bhp HDi, and it does a stout job, without making much fuss. It supposed to be able to beat 100mph, but boy that'd need a run-up. The 0-62 time of 11 seconds gives a better impression of its ability, and of course that's before you add seven more warm bodies. The stubby little gearlever clearly meets the transmission via a tortuous path – its action is on the flaccid side.

Fuel consumption is also in the car rather than truck realm – 35mpg is easily achievable, on an official rating of 53.3mpg and 139g/km CO2.

OK so it's not bad to drive and it's got space. But is the cabin a happy place?

The dash is nicely designed and decorated, if not quite made of the same level of robust-yet-soft material in a Caravelle. The rest of the cabin is well-decorated, for instance fully shrouding the bare metal of the doors and seat mechanisms, and carpeting the entire floor.

The car-derived platform also means lots of useful electronics, including active cruise, a HUD with speedo and navigation arrows, CarPlay/Android Auto, and a parking camera.

As to happiness, we can't guarantee what congenial company your travelling companions are. But the actual hardware around you is moderately cheering.

But it's still a van.

Alright alright. Not a van-like car, no, but a car-like van.

The Peugeot Traveller, with its room for eight people, put me in mind of an old and probably apocryphal story about Groucho Marx. Late in his career, though still coruscating, he hosted a TV game show called You Be Your Life. He used to josh with the contestants, and once exchange is supposed to have run thus;

Groucho Marx: “And how many children do you have?”

Woman Contestant: “I have 10 children”.

Groucho: “You have 10 children? Why do you have so many kids?”

Woman Contestant: “Because I love my husband”.

Groucho: “I love my cigar too, but I take it out of my mouth every once in a while.”

That woman contestant, if real, might have found the Peugeot a little too cramped for her needs. There are in fact a lot of modern British families that it would suit, however.

It’s bigger than I imagined, the potential market for vehicles such as the Peugeot Traveller, which is, to put things at their simplest, a version of the Peugeot Expert van that seats eight folk (ie seven plus driver). Who needs that? Well, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, there are some 521,000 households in the UK with more than six persons in them, or about 1 in 50 such clans co-habiting in various degrees of harmony, The Windsors-style. Given that they, and others, will have to give lifts to friends and other members of the e extended family from time to time, admittedly not all en masse, I’m a bit surprised there aren’t more of these posh charabancs on the roads.

As it is, your choices are fairly limited to a trio of models made by Peugeot-Citroen in collaboration with Toyota (Peugeot Traveller, as here, Citroen SpaceTourer, Toyota ProAce), the Mercedes Vito Tourer, a pair of near-identical jobs from Vauxhall and Renault (Vivaro Combi and Trafic Passenger), the VW Transporter Shuttle and the Ford Tourneo Custom: All based on a van design, though engineered no doubt with other applications in mind.

So you’ve got to like vans, really, if you fancy one of these. I admit the van does possess a lightly macho appeal, and you can have a white one, so you can pose around as White Van man. You could stuff some crisp wrappers, a copy of the Sun and a packet of Mayfair fags across the dashboard to add to the effect, and drive around with Motorhead’s Ace of Spades blaring out, like Johnny Vegas does in the unforgettable opening scene of Sex Lives of the Potato men, one of the finest British films ever made (and about £3 on Amazon I notice).

Price: £35,685  Engine capacity: 2 litre 4-cyl diesel Power output (kw @ rpm): 130@3,750 ​Top speed (mph): 106 0-62 mph (seconds): 11 Fuel economy (mpg): 47.9 CO2 emissions (g/km): 155 BIK: 27%

They’ve thoughtfully lowered the height of this Peugeot vehicle a little so it can get into car parks (down to 1.9 metres) and the three choices of wheel base and fold down seating options can easily convert your MPV into a proper two seater van, so you can get a lot of spuds in there too. All good.

Yet the appeal, though, wears off fairly quickly, and the surprising thing about the Peugeot Traveller that it is better to drive than it is at hauling people around. Being a delivery van, it is excellent on the motorway and the diesel unit (leaving aside the usual environmental qualms about these, they’re pretty much all you can have in this segment of the market) is torquey and refined, and makes short work indeed of motorways. With a few passengers on board it gets a bit sluggish, as you’d expect, but can still pull along with the rest of the traffic and cruises happily at speed (though you’re conscious of the precious cargo you have aboard, which I guess must be a plus for road safety).

They’ve added a big sunroof, leather seats and an excellent sat nav, too, plus automatic gearbox option (6 speed). The driving position is good – high up and “in control”, like a poor man’s Range Rover, and the turning circle makes it easy to manoeuvre and park, belying the vehicle’s basic bulk. There are short, medium and long wheel versions available, though I reckon the latter is a virtually unusual option in an urban environment, even with the handy rear parking camera fitted).

Despite the flexibility of the seating arrangements, in the usual short wheelbase design there isn’t really that much space in the boot, given the number of folk on board. The seats, as is the norm in this class, are in the configuration of two up-front plus tow benches of three each behind, with access via a couple of sliding doors (electrically powered too).

The real problem with this high and mighty vehicle is that it isn’t really that easy to get in and out of, a major drawback for a people carrier or not-so-mini cab. The step into the rear cabin were covered in a plastic that seemed quite slippery to me, and I found it a bit of a haul to get myself into the driver’s seat, and I’m not that comically short or decrepit. I ought to mention too that my example also made a very strange crackling noise every so often, as if a load of icy snow was dropping off its floor, through it wasn’t cold enough for that. I can’t believe a car with less than 1,000 miles on the clock could be haunted, so I will have to await a more satisfactory mechanical explanation of that phenomenon. It didn’t affect anything important though.

So I find it difficult to recommend the Peugeot Traveller on its own terms, and would instead suggest a more stringent regime of birth control.

Find out more about the Peugeot Traveller

Is the peugeot traveller a good car.

The  Peugeot  Traveller is a large van-based MPV with up to nine seats, but running costs comparable to a regular car. It’s an alternative to the Mercedes V-Class and Hyundai i800 .

As soon as you see the Traveller, it’s obvious that it has its roots in a van, but that’s not a problem. On the contrary, it has the distinct benefit of allowing buyers to choose from a variety of arrangements. That means that not only can you pick from different seating arrangements – covering both the number of seats and how they’re laid out – you can also choose between two different lengths of vehicle.

As you can probably guess, the Traveller’s large, boxy exterior means that it has a massive amount of space inside for passengers – far more than in a conventional MPV . And, if you remove all the rear seats – which is not easy, as they’re pretty heavy – you can have a colossal luggage capacity of as much as 4,500 litres to play with.

Again, it’ll come as no surprise that there’s a van-like air to the materials, but the design and equipment are reminiscent of what you’ll find in a Peugeot car.

So, among the toys that are available are DAB radio, smartphone connectivity through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto , dual-zone climate control and a 7.0-inch touchscreen. You can even get a head-up display that projects info – such as current speed – onto the windscreen, as well as a reversing camera.

If you have a particularly large family or regularly have to move lots of people, then the Traveller could be the right car for you Mat Watson Car (Review) Expert

Overall, if you’re upgrading from a family  hatchback , you’ll find the standard equipment is decent, but not particularly generous for the price. You get cruise control, parking sensors and air-conditioning, while radar-guided cruise control, automatic city braking and an 180-degree camera are notable options.

Despite the tall body and the high seating position, driving the Traveller is fairly easy. It’s surprisingly manoeuvrable and the soft suspension means that you won’t feel too many bumps. Ultimately, though, you can never forget that you’re driving something that’s basically a van. On the motorway, the Peugeot’s brick-like aerodynamics mean it suffers from more wind noise than conventional, car-based rivals such as the Ford Galaxy . And, when you turn into a corner, there’s a lot of body roll.

Just as unsurprisingly, the only engines available are diesels, but what will probably come as a surprise is that the smallest unit is just a 1.5-litre unit. Naturally, it doesn’t get the Traveller moving all the quickly, but it has the advantage of the lowest CO2 emissions and the best fuel economy in the range.

If you’re likely to be using the Traveller more heavily laden, then it’s worth considering one of the stronger engines, both of which are 2.0-litre units. They give progressively stronger performance, but the price you pay are increasingly high fuel consumption and emissions.  

If you have a particularly large family or regularly have to move lots of people, then the Traveller could be the right car for you. But, the likelihood is that most people will find a more conventional MPV or SUV suits them better and will cost them a fair bit less to buy and run.

• Traveller MPV

New Peugeot Traveller 2017 review

Peugeot is pitching the traveller as the upmarket alternative to rivals on the same platform, but how does it stack up as a classy mpv.

4.0 out of 5

Peugeot’s pushed upmarket with the Traveller and it shows, with a comfortable interior packed with equipment. It’s spacious, too, and as a high-end executive bus it competes pretty well with the VW Caravelle. But it’s just a little too expensive to make it the best big MPV choice.

Seven-seat people carriers have plenty of appeal but if you have a large family or are a taxi driver, little beats the outright carrying capacity of a van. The Peugeot Traveller is the eight-seat MPV version of the Peugeot Expert van , and shares a lot of parts and design elements with the Citroen SpaceTourer and Toyota Proace Verso . However, the Traveller is aimed at buyers who want a little more luxury in their eight-seater.

Even entry-level Active trim gets plenty of goodies like dual-zone climate control, cruise control, automatic lights and wipers, and a slick 7-inch infotainment system offering Bluetooth and DAB connectivity. Our Allure model added to this with electric and heated front seats, a panoramic glass roof, a heads-up display, xenon headlights and keyless entry. Sat-nav is a £240 option, but Allure models do get leather trim to add to the luxury feel. The interior is well designed and trimmed in fairly high-end materials, but the Traveller can’t match the  Volkswagen Caravelle  for interior quality, so for those without lofty aspirations a mid-spec model should do just fine.

Our standard-wheelbase model had ample space for six-foot passengers in all three rows. It also offered a hefty 640-litre boot space even with all seats in position, but that space is tall and very shallow so it isn’t quite as useful as the numbers suggest. Removing the bulky seats is no easy operation, but if you manage to heave them out you’ll be rewarded with a capacity of 3,200 litres of space up to the window line. That’s truly (and unsurprisingly) van-like.

On the move is where the case for a more car-like people carrier starts to make sense. Though there’s plenty of adjustment in the seat and steering wheel, the driving position is resolutely upright and won’t suit drivers with very long legs. The cavernous interior amplifies road and wind noise, making for a fairly noisy ride at speed, although the soft suspension means it’s comfortable even without a load in the rear. 

Performance from the 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel isn’t sparkling, but it’s got strong in-gear pace. It’s just a shame the six-speed gearbox has such a loose, baggy action - as we've seen in many of Peugeot's smaller cars. The Traveller is largely easy to drive, though, with great all-round visibility courtesy of that high-set driving position. It feels smaller on the road than its size too, with a surprisingly tight turning circle. It even handles tidily enough, although the steering is very vague and requires a laborious four turns from lock-to-lock.

Unlike the Toyota Proace Verso and the Citroen SpaceTourer , Peugeot won’t be offering the Traveller in a more basic trim level, so list prices seem a little high next to those vans. There isn’t a nine-seater version on offer, either. Look at it next to the Volkswagen Caravelle and things start to stack up a little better though. To nab a comparably equipped VW you’d be spending well in excess of £40,000 – making the Peugeot’s £36,985 seem decent value.

But if you don’t need the extra seat, you can look in the other direction. A top-spec Citroen Grand C4 Picasso still offers space for seven adults (albeit not for long journeys), a comfortable ride and efficient engines – plus far superior refinement and driving dynamics – for under £30,000.

The Peugeot Traveller is the only eight-seater we’ve tested this year, and it is absolutely huge inside.

All the seats have enough head and legroom for adults, and the sliding doors make it easy to get in and out.

It may be based on a Peugeot van, but don’t let that persuade you that the Traveller won’t drive well.

There’s enough power and torque to comfortably pull a large single-axle caravan. Don’t expect fireworks from under the bonnet, but the 30-60mph time of 15 seconds shows the diesel engine is up to the job.

In still conditions the Traveller felt secure at the motorway limit and beyond, but it was a lot less impressive when the wind picked up, with the caravan beginning to move around.

The handbrake stopped the car and caravan from rolling backwards on a 1-in-6 slope, so long as it was pulled on firmly. With its strong engine and automatic gearbox, the Traveller towed confidently to the top of the hill.

The Peugeot Traveller scored highly with our practicality judges, not least because there was room for a full load of luggage even with all the seats in place. They also noted that the underslung full-size steel spare wheel could be accessed without needing to remove any luggage.

Choose Allure spec and the Traveller comes very well equipped – but so it should do when it costs almost £40,000.

Peugeot e-Traveller review

Category: Van-based MPV

Electric van-based MPV can carry plenty of people but has a limited range and is more expensive than direct rivals.

Share review

Citroën Berlingo

Ford Tourneo Connect

Introduction, what car says....

Praise be to the Peugeot e-Traveller  because you can now drive your extended family through London without burning fossil fuels or having to resort to one of those expensive horse-drawn carriages.

Yes, you read that right: this very large eight-seat (or seven, if configured as such) van-based MPV is actually an electric vehicle. The e-Traveller is not only quiet enough to avoid startling the horses trotting down The Mall, but also avoids the congestion charge.

Instead of using a diesel engine (as is traditional with van-based MPVs ), you get an electric motor with up to 134bhp. The motor gets its juice from a 50kWh battery pack that you can charge at a rate of up 100kW if you can find a charger capable of that speed.

The e-Traveller's body and electric tech are essentially the same as you’ll find in a Citroën e-Spacetourer and  Vauxhall Vivaro-e Life . If you’re wondering where this Peugeot fits into that hierarchy, just know that both those rivals have stripped-out and rather basic entry-level versions to keep the price low, while the e-Traveller is 'the posh one', aiming to take on the  Mercedes EQV .

What Car? has a buying service

So does the Peugeot e-Traveller successfully fit into the niche but expanding sector of zero-tailpipe emissions people carriers, and how does it compare with the best MPV  rivals?

Read on through this comprehensive review to find out whether it's good to drive, how comfortable all those passengers will be, whether the running costs are manageable, which trims and engines we rate and much more.

When you're ready to buy a new vehicle of any make and model, don't forget that you can track down the best prices using our free  What Car? New Car Buying service . It has lots of  Peugeot e-Traveller deals .

Performance & drive

What it’s like to drive, and how quiet it is.

Your Peugeot e-Traveller engine choice is simple because there's only one option: an electric motor borrowed from the Peugeot e-208 and Peugeot e-2008 . There are three drive modes – Eco, Normal and Power – which vary the available power considerably, up to a maximum 134bhp.

The Power mode gives you the full whack, with the potential for 0-62mph in a not bad (for a massive passenger van) 10.8sec. If you stick the e-Traveller in Eco when you’re running low on juice, you’ll only have 80bhp to play with and a vehicle that will struggle to top 65mph on a level motorway.

Speaking of range, the e-Traveller has an official figure of 148 miles, and that's fairly typical for this size of van-based MPV . You can expect to get significantly less (potentially under 100 miles in our hands) if you’re travelling on a motorway while loaded up with people and luggage. The Mercedes EQV  has a much longer potential range north of 200 miles.

You can improve the range by using the gearbox’s ‘B’ mode for increased regenerative braking. This puts energy back into the battery while slowing the vehicle down, lowering your overall consumption. Even without it engaged, the brakes are pleasantly progressive as they switch between regeneration and the vehicle’s mechanical brakes. 

Ride quality – which is usually of greater importance than performance in a people hauler – is generally fine. Compared with a non-electric Toyota Proace Verso (which has the same platform), the e-Traveller isn’t as settled over scruffy road surfaces.

That may change with passengers on board, but it will still end up feeling quite bouncy over undulations at speed. Plus there’s a significant ‘thwack’ sound that reverberates through the interior when you hit a big pothole at town speeds. Fortunately, there’s no real motor whine of note while you’re driving the e-Traveller, and wind and road noise are well contained. 

On the road, you won’t be mistaking the e-Traveller for a smaller MPV like the Volkswagen Touran , but it is at least just as easy to drive. The steering is pretty accurate, although it does involve a lot of arm twirling when parking. At higher speeds, the body leans a bit in tighter bends, but you get used to that after a while, and generally appreciate the e-Traveller’s decent grip levels that allow you to maintain your pace down a country road.

The interior layout, fit and finish

One of the benefits of going for the Peugeot e-Traveller over regular MPVs and seven-seat SUVs is that you tower over other vehicles. That’s thanks to its commanding driving position, even in the seat’s lowest setting (you get height adjustment as standard). In typical van fashion, you sit above the pedals, which could take some getting used to if you’re coming from a car or SUV.

The boxy shape of the e-Traveller makes it easy to judge the width, but you can't see the stubby nose from the driving seat, although if you go for the top-end Allure version, you get front parking sensors, which you can’t add to the Citroën e-Spacetourer or Vauxhall Vivaro-e Life .

Citroën gives you rear parking sensors as standard to help when reversing in tight spaces, but a rear camera is only available as part of an expensive visibility pack on Active, or standard on Allure trim.

The e-Traveller doesn’t sound like a van, but it can’t hide its commercial vehicle heritage inside. Even the poshest Allure trim, with its ‘brushed aluminium’ inlays and leather seats, can’t hide the acres of hard plastic. At least rear air-con is standard, and the overhead console comes with plenty of air vents for good ventilation. A Mercedes EQV is quite a lot more premium inside, though.

All versions of the e-Traveller get a 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, a DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring, and a USB socket. Sat-nav is an option on Active and standard on Allure. It’s a fairly easy system to navigate but some of the icons are small and it can be a bit sluggish to respond to commands. Allure models have a grander nine-speaker sound system that sounds plenty good enough, although it’s probably helped by the lack of engine noise getting in the way.

Passenger & boot space

How it copes with people and clutter.

You can have your Peugeot e-Traveller in either Standard or (with top-end Allure trim) Long, and you can fit eight people inside comfortably, with plenty of head, leg and shoulder room to go around. The difference is, you’ll have an easier time hauling around the luggage of those eight people in the Long version because it has a bigger boot.

The benefit of opting for such a large vehicle is that you can fit six actual people across the second and third rows.

The seats can be reclined for additional comfort and have Isofix mounts so you can fit child seats. They also slide so you can trade boot space for leg space if required, and all rows get a 12v socket for charging various devices.

A seven seat configuration with two ‘captain’s chairs’ for the second row is available for additional cost. They can be spun round if you fancy ignoring the driver and having a conversation with the people in the third row.

The e-Traveller in Allure trim has a panoramic sunroof as standard, and it lets lots of light into the rear without making much difference to the very generous headroom available.

Even with all three rows in place, there’s enough space in the e-Traveller’s boot to handle lots of holiday luggage. You have to leave a good space behind the car when you park, though, because the long tailgate is hinged from the top and needs plenty of room to swing open. Top-spec Allure helps with this by including a rear glass window that can be opened separately.

Buying & owning

Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is.

The Peugeot e-Traveller is more expensive to buy than the Citroën e-Spacetourer or Vauxhall Vivaro-e Life . Both rivals have stripped-out entry-level versions that qualify for the Government’s electric car grant making them even cheaper, while no e-Traveller qualifies. The premium  Mercedes EQV  is much more expensive than all three.

You can recharge the e-Traveller’s batteries pretty quickly. According to official figures, it’ll take around 30 minutes to go from a 10-80% charge if you can use a 100kW charging station . A domestic 7kW wallbox charger will complete a full charge from empty in 7.5 hours.

There are two trim levels available. Entry-level Active cars get manual air-con, cruise control, a digital radio with a 7.0in infotainment system, 17in alloy wheels and rear parking sensors. The Allure trim – which you have to have if you want the longer L model – adds Xenon headlights plus front parking sensors and a reversing camera, leather trim, electrically heated and adjustable front seats, a better stereo, and keyless entry and start.

Safety kit includes automatic emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance and driver drowsiness monitoring (in the Driver Assist pack). Blind-spot warning is standard on Allure trim to help spot traffic along your flanks.

Peugeot didn’t do particularly well as a brand in our latest 2021 What Car? Reliability Survey , coming in joint 22nd place with Mercedes and Vauxhall. Citroën did much better, coming 11th out of the 30 manufacturers included.

Every Peugeot gets a three-year warranty, and the battery pack is covered under a separate eight-year or 100,000 mile warranty.

2022 peugeot traveller premium 8-seater review.

Taking on the family aspect of the premium minivan segment in the Philippines.

Driving and handling

Fuel economy, verdict and price, exterior photo gallery, interior photo gallery.

The minivan marketplace isn’t as big as it once was in the early 90s. Now, there are only a few options available for those who want a big family and cargo carrier. You have the likes of the Toyota Alphard, the Toyota Hiace Super Grandia, the Kia Carnival, and the Peugeot Traveller Premium 8-Seater . While the rest of its competitors are a bit more established, the Traveller brings something special to the table thanks to its versatile seating, frugal engine, and great feature set. 

This now begs the question, what sets the Peugeot Traveller apart from the rest of its competitors? With that in mind, we will try to answer that and much more with our in-depth and honest review of the minivan. 

• Versatile seating
• Massage seat function
• Frugal diesel engine
• No power tailgate
• No 360-degree camera
• No grab handle for the driver’s seat

When it comes to minivans it's hard to redefine the rectangular shape that works very well in maximizing interior space. The Peugeot Traveller Premium does come with a boxy design but with a curved front end to give you a more aerodynamic shape. While the cat-like design cues aren’t as strong as compared to its crossover siblings the 2008 , 3008 , and even the 5008 , a few hints are still here and there, especially with the headlights.

At the front, you get a large grille that is just for design as there are no actual vents that lead anywhere. If you are curious, the Peugeot Traveller actually “breathes” through the bottom air ducts that supply a great amount of cooling and airflow into the engine bay of the minivan. You do get Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights at the front with a clear and crisp cut-off as well as a great throw. These are things that will help you greatly especially when traveling at night.

On to the sides, and there isn’t much to talk about aside from its massive power sliding doors and large windows. Aside from this, it's clean lines all around and not much to complain about.

At the back, it's another round of flat surfaces with a nice accent on the massive tailgate which is unfortunately not powered. The rear glass does open to give you access to the cargo space at the back and there is a tonneau cover provided but this is only good for lighter items. One thing we do have to commend is the space at the back which can fit a set of 15-inch tires and more if you need it.

The cabin of the Peugeot Traveller Premium is specious, while there is no center console, it does give a lot of room for maneuverability. This allows the passengers to easily get to the front passenger seat without having too much trouble. It's also great if you have to quickly get to the driver’s seat if you are sitting in the second row of the vehicle. 

Speaking of the driver’s seat, once you get on it which is a bit of a climb for shorter people, you are greeted by a heads-up display and analog gauges with a digital trip computer. The instruments are crisp and clear and it's easy to quickly get acquainted with the new controls. 

One thing we noticed with the Peugeot Philippines lineup of cars is there is a bit of a learning curve to get used to, but once you get used to it it's all good from there. In the case of the Traveller, this learning curve was less steep and we quickly learned the ins and outs of the minivan.

Moving onto the back of the car you have greeted two rows of three seats that can move independently of one another which is great. The leather material is sturdy and supportive and won’t stress you out on long trips. One thing we did notice is that it's a bit difficult to fold and move the outermost passenger seat in the second row. This makes ingress and egress for the vehicle a bit difficult to do especially as the controls take some time to get used to. 

Since space in the second row is quite good and the seats can be moved forward and backward a fair bit, there is a lot of legroom to spare even for taller passengers. The same can also be said for the third row as it too can be moved backward and forwards as well. One thing to note is that the second row also gets access to tray tables which are found behind the driver and front passenger seats. This is great as the second row doesn’t come with direct access to cupholders. 

Storage space is also great with the Peugeot as it comes with small cubby holes on the doors and in the dashboard where you can store items. The boot space is also excellent as it comes with 1,060 liters worth of space. To put that into context, you can store a set of four 15-inch wheels with tires on at the back without them impeding on space for the third row. We actually even tested it and we could put a folding table with folding chairs on top of the tires as well.

Riding inside the Peugeot Traveller is quite a pleasant experience as the bumps are kept at bay by the suspension. In the driver’s seat, you get a van-like experience as you are seated in a more upright position compared to that of a car or crossover. You do get to see more of the road and the fact that the Peugeot comes with a massager function for the front seats also helps elevate the levels of comfort. The massager function does focus more on your lower back which is great, especially on longer trips.

At the back and in the second and third rows there isn’t anything to complain about if you are an average-sized Filipino. The space is decent and the seats are supportive enough to get you through long-haul trips. For taller passengers, however, it can be a bit of a tight fit if you are in the third row.

In terms of technology, the Peugeot Traveller has a decent amount. It may not be as high tech as its other competitors, but it's all useable tech. It has a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, a 3.5-inch instrument panel, and a head-up display for the speedometer. It also comes with massage seats and automatic sliding doors. You also do get a decent amount of charging options with the 220V socket found behind the front passenger seat along with 12V sockets found on the dashboard and in the third row. While you may have to buy an adaptor for the socket as it comes in the European style, it's still very much useful and can charge multiple handheld devices and even a laptop.

For safety, the Peugeot comes with ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill Climb Assist, Driver Attention Alert, Blind Spot Assist, Front and rear Parking Sensor, Rear View Camera Visiopark 1 that gives you a 180-degree view of the back, and programmable Cruise Control with Speed Limiter. These features and more make it easier to drive the rather large van. 

While these are the industry standard for the segment, we do wish that Peugeot adds a bit of tech such as adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera for the Traveller to really put it a cut above the rest in terms of its safety features. 

The Peugeot Traveller is not a race car but it does give you good handling as a front-wheel-drive minivan. The suspension is soft for comfort but gives you a decent amount of grip when cornering. You do feel the heft and size of the van when driving it but it's very manageable. The engine is nice and quiet, however, NVH can get a bit low past 80kph. 

That being said, there isn’t a rush of acceleration that comes in unlike its competitors, the Peugeot Traveller goes for a more linear feel which is great for passengers. While the 2.0-liter turbo diesel may not seem like it has much to offer it can quickly get the minivan up to speed if you want it to. The 8-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and is smart enough to put you into higher gear when you just want to cruise around and save on fuel. 

One thing we do have to note is that the braking action on this particular unit that we got felt a bit assisted as the pedal had some play to it before you would feel the brakes actually bite. It's not a bad thing as the car was able to stop fairly quickly but it's something a new owner or driver will need to get adjusted to.

The Peugeot Traveller comes powered by a 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine that produces 150hp and 340 Nm of torque. While it may not seem like a lot on paper, this powerplant is more than enough to rocket the minivan to highway speeds in a matter of seconds. In fact, the Traveller has a zero to 100 time of approximately 12 seconds which isn’t bad for a vehicle of its size. 

Now on to the good stuff, its fuel efficiency figures In the city we were able to get 10km/L which isn’t bad considering that the Traveller is essentially a big brick on the road, however, where it shines is on the highway. Considering its size and less than favorable aerodynamic shape, we were actually able to get 18km/L which is great for a vehicle of its size. Thanks to its 70-liter tank you can also expect to go at least 600 kilometers or more with mixed-use.

The Peugeot Traveller is in a bit of a tight spot, especially against the likes of the Kia Carnival and the Toyota Hiace Super Grandia. All of its competitors aim for a great premium VIP experience, while the Peugeot is aimed more toward a premium family experience. This is where it sets itself apart from the rest. 

The Peugeot focuses more on the family aspect of being a minivan/MPV. The seats are great for kids and the versatility that the vehicle offers is excellent if you need to haul people and cargo at the same time. The materials used are premium as well which makes it worth its P3,090,000 price tag. The sound system is also decent with it by default being time aligned towards the center of the vehicle so that everyone can hear. 

Overall, the Peugeot Traveller Premium 8-seater is great at what it offers, and what it offers is a premium family van for the whole family. It may not come with the fancy captain’s chairs of its rivals but its seats are still premium and the materials used more than justify its price. It's a great family van with very little to complain about.

The charging port cover has been positioned at the front, on the passenger’s side, for practical recharging, while the “e-Traveller” badge on the back makes its mark.

EASE AND COMFORT

Inside, the compact PEUGEOT Traveller MPV is dedicated to driver comfort. The step provides easy access to the elevated seating, which dominates the road and offers a saloon-style driving position. The cockpit features a simple and modern design with elegant materials and innovative equipment. The ergonomic equipment, such as the Head-Up Display and the 7” touchscreen are always within easy reach and in view.

In full electric version, the instrument panel and touchscreen are part of an entirely electric world, where you can view electrical energy flows.

DRIVING IN COMFORT

The PEUGEOT e-Traveller’s new 3.5″ instrument display panel with colour matrix provides essential driving information such as the driving range status and powermeter in real time. The “e-Toggle” button offers immediate access to the electric automatic transmission controls. You can also choose between three driving modes ECO, NORMAL, and POWER , and the electric parking brake is standard across the range.

CALM AND CONNECTED JOURNEYS

Make your journeys easier by using the Connected 3D Navigation. The system also has PEUGEOT Connect services and live traffic updates from TomTom® Traffic. The 7” touchscreen integrates the Mirror Screen® function, so you can enjoy your compatible Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto smartphone applications.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

Essential information, such as speed, cruise control or speed limiter, time between vehicles, is projected in colour on a retractable display located in the driver’s field of vision to aid driving.

GREATER MODULARITY AND GREATER FLEXIBILITY

The Traveller is available in seating configurations of 5, 7 and 8 places in order to meet all of your requirements. The second and the third rows consist of split seats 2/3 – 1/3 where 2 sections are totally separate and can slide back and forth on the rails. This means the rear space is flexible and practical. For even more versatility, the seats not only slide but are removable too.

UNCOMPROMISING PERFORMANCE

The PEUGEOT Traveller and new PEUGEOT e-Traveller MPVs boast the multi-energy EMP2i platform, offering you the freedom to choose between a diesel or a full electric powertrain.

GRIP CONTROL

The PEUGEOT Traveller is equipped with Grip Control® technology, which improves handling through its traction control system. By turning a dial on the dashboard, you can select the most suitable grip level for your terrain, Snow, Off-Road, Sand, Standard ESP and Off. You can relax and enjoy your journey, knowing you will always be in full control of the vehicle.

VISIOPARK 1

The rear-view camera is activated automatically when the vehicle is put in reverse. It provides a 180° aerial view of the rear of your vehicle. The guidelines turn with the wheel. If there are any obstacles, the system will automatically zoom in, with additional views available on demand.

ROAD SIGN RECOGNITION AND SPEED LIMIT RECOMMENDATION

The multi-function camera recognizes speed limit signs and alerts the driver of this limit on the instrument panel and/or on the head-up display. You can then enter this speed into your speed limiter or cruise control, if it is activated.

SMARTBEAM ASSISTANCE

Activated at night, this intelligent system automatically switches the headlights from main beam to dipped beam and vice-versa depending on other vehicles detected by the camera.

ACTIVE SAFETY BRAKE

The Active Safety Brake is an automatic emergency braking system that intervenes if it detects an imminent collision. The camera and radar can detect any mobile or stationary obstacles. Should the driver fail to brake, either sufficiently or at all, the system triggers the braking system instead of the driver. This ensures you avoid any impact if the speed is below 18mph or reduces the consequences of a collision whatever the vehicle’s speed.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM

This feature detects when the car crosses over white and broken lines unintentionally when the indicator has not been activated. The audible and visual warning is particularly useful in the event of drowsiness or a temporary loss of concentration from the driver.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING

Using 4 sensors on the front and back of your MPV, Blind Spot Monitoring alerts the driver, throughout the course of the journey, to the presence of a vehicle in their blind spot on both the right and left side of the car. A light signal appears in one of the outside mirrors and on the dashboard to warn the driver.

The range and battery charge of the PEUGEOT e-Traveller lets you travel up to 148 miles according to the WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedures) certification protocol.
