PEUGEOT South Africa, part of Stellantis South Africa, launched the new PEUGEOT Partner in the local market, expanding its light commercial vehicle range with a compact van designed to meet the demands of modern urban business operations.
Positioned for entrepreneurs, SMEs, courier operators and delivery fleets, the new PEUGEOT Partner delivers a balance of efficiency, practicality, safety and connectivity in a compact, work-focused package engineered for South African conditions.
The launch forms part of the brand’s continued expansion in the light commercial vehicle segment, as demand grows for versatile and cost-efficient business mobility solutions.
“The PEUGEOT Partner represents an important step in the growth of the PEUGEOT brand in South Africa,” said Moeketsi Mapogo, Brand Head: Pro One LCV at Stellantis South Africa. “As we continue to expand in the light commercial vehicle market, businesses are under increasing pressure to do more with less, making affordable and dependable mobility essential. The new Partner is designed to meet that need, combining low running costs, practical functionality and modern technology in a commercial vehicle built for everyday business demands.”
Efficient performance for urban business use
The 1.6-litre HDi diesel engine powers the PEUGEOT Partner, producing 68 kW and 230 Nm of torque through a 5-speed manual transmission.
Strong low-speed pulling power supports urban delivery cycles and frequent stop-start operation, while fuel consumption is rated at just 5.1 L/100 km, helping reduce running costs for business users and fleet operators.
Flexible load capacity and practical design
Two body styles are available:
- PEUGEOT Partner SWB (Short Wheelbase) – introduced in South Africa for the first time

The SWB configuration provides a load length of 1 817 mm, while the LWB extends this to 2 167 mm and enables up to 4.4 m³ of load volume with the Multiflex bench seat arrangement.
The LWB derivative support payload of up to 1 000 kg.
Practical access is enhanced through dual sliding side doors and 180-degree rear doors, supporting efficient loading and unloading in tight urban environments.

Connectivity features include WiFi mirroring, Bluetooth functionality, AM/FM/DAB radio, dual USB ports and steering wheel-mounted controls.
