Pros	Cons
Massively roomy for a large family	Ordinary to drive
Up to eight seats rather than the usual seven of most large MPVs	Thirstier than a smaller, lighter SUV
Electric version has no exhaust emissions	The electric model has a short range

Quick Summary

The Peugeot Traveller (2016-present) is a practical eight-seat people carrier based on the commercial Expert van. Introduced in 2017 as a replacement for the Expert Tepee, it offers exceptional versatility with both standard and long-wheelbase options. The second and third rows feature three individual seats each, with a seven-seat variant available offering sliding and folding second-row seats that can be completely removed. Sliding rear doors on both sides provide easy access in tight parking spaces, with electrically powered hands-free operation on Allure models. Boot space ranges from 603 to 989 litres with all seats in place, expanding to 3,968 or 4,554 litres when seats are folded or removed.

Diesel engines include a 120bhp 1.5-litre BlueHDI, a 145bhp or 180bhp 2.0-litre HDI, with manual or automatic transmission options. An electric e-Traveller with a 50kWh battery and 134bhp motor offers emissions-free driving for up to 148 miles, though from mid-2022 this is the only new model available due to EU emissions regulations. The Traveller is competent and composed to drive, with a high driving position aiding manoeuvrability, though it lacks excitement. Fuel economy ranges from 36.2 to 46.5mpg depending on engine choice. Two trim levels—Active and Allure—offer features from basic air conditioning to leather seats, panoramic roof, and keyless entry. A seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, with sat-nav and premium audio on Allure models.

Best for: Large families needing regular passenger transport, those with active lifestyles requiring flexible cargo space, and buyers seeking an eight-seat alternative to traditional seven-seat MPVs.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling, those seeking low fuel consumption compared to smaller SUVs, or buyers requiring a petrol engine option or extensive new model availability.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Traveller if: You have a large family needing regular passenger transport, lead an active lifestyle requiring flexible cargo space, or seek an eight-seat alternative to traditional seven-seat MPVs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging handling, seek low fuel consumption compared to smaller SUVs, or require a petrol engine option or extensive new model availability.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot Traveller is a highly practical people carrier offering exceptional space and versatility with up to eight seats. Whilst it lacks the driving engagement of some rivals and consumes more fuel than smaller SUVs, its combination of practicality, flexible seating, and reasonable pricing makes it an excellent choice for families and active users. The electric e-Traveller variant offers emissions-free motoring for urban buyers, though its limited range restricts broader appeal. Against competitors like the Volkswagen Multivan and Citroën SpaceTourer, the Traveller delivers comparable practicality at a competitive price point, making it a sensible choice for those prioritising space and functionality over driving dynamics.
