Following the facelifted Citroën Berlingo, it was logical that the Peugeot Partner would get a similar treatment. The Partner has received more modifications than its sister model though, with the front end being redesigned.

The small van gets new headlights, new grille and a new bumper, all very similar to the ones seen on the revised Berlingo – except the grille, of course. The Partner will continue to be available in a passenger version called Tepee, with the more rugged-looking Outdoor variant being kept as well.

Inside, almost nothing changes compared to the previous model, with most modifications regarding the equipment. The Partner gets a new 7-inch touch screen which allows users to access the radio, trip computer, hands-free telephone and the optional navigation system.

The van also receives the Mirror Screen function, which enables users to access their smartphone apps on the touch screen. Other optional extras include a reversing camera, front parking sensors and the Active City Brake system.

Under the hood, the Peugeot Partner gets the new 1.6 BlueHDi diesel engines, available in three states of tune: 75PS, 100PS and 120PS. The only petrol engine offered from launch is the 1.6 VTi, available with 98PS or 120PS. From early 2016, Peugeot will also add the new 1.2 PureTech petrol unit with 110PS.
