Peugeot Partner 2022: Australian release date and pricing for bigger van range

An extended range of Peugeot Partner vans will be available for Aussie buyers in 2022, catering for different commercial uses

Three longer-wheelbase variants will be added to the Peugeot Partner van lineup in Australia for 2022 across City, Pro and Premium grades.

As the small van grade for the Peugeot range, the Partner offers a more compact, city-sized alternative to the more popular midsize vans that ply their trade on Australian roads.
