Pros	Cons

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 designed for those needing to transport large groups regularly. Based on the commercial Expert van, it offers exceptional space with up to 603-litres of boot capacity with all seats occupied, expanding to 3,968-litres when seats are folded or removed. Both standard and long-wheelbase versions are available, with sliding doors on both sides for easy access in tight parking spaces. The Allure trim adds premium touches including leather seats, panoramic glass roof, electric sliding doors, and keyless entry, whilst all models feature a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Diesel engines range from a 120bhp 1.5-litre BlueHDI to a powerful 180bhp 2.0-litre HDI, with manual or automatic transmissions available. The e-Traveller electric variant offers emissions-free motoring for up to 148 miles per charge, though from mid-2022 it became the only new option available due to EU emissions regulations. Whilst unremarkable to drive, the Traveller excels as a practical tool for families, active lifestyles, and those requiring flexible cargo space. Running costs are reasonable, with fuel economy ranging from 36.2-46.5mpg depending on engine choice, and insurance groups between 24-26E.

Best for: Large families, those with active lifestyles requiring flexible seating and cargo space, buyers needing to transport groups regularly, and environmentally conscious users (e-Traveller).

Not ideal for: Those prioritising driving engagement, buyers seeking a compact vehicle, or those with limited budgets for fuel consumption and depreciation costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Traveller if: You have a large family, lead an active lifestyle requiring flexible seating and cargo space, need to transport groups regularly, or seek an environmentally conscious option (e-Traveller).

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise driving engagement, seek a compact vehicle, or have limited budgets for fuel consumption and depreciation costs.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot Traveller is a capable people carrier offering exceptional practicality and space for large families. Whilst it lacks the driving engagement of some rivals, its eight-seat configuration, flexible interior, and reasonable running costs make it a sensible choice. The Peugeot e-Rifter offers superior value and user ratings, whilst the Volkswagen Multivan and Citroën SpaceTourer provide alternative options in the segment. The Traveller's strength lies in its versatility and affordability compared to premium rivals like the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers needing maximum practicality.
