Peugeot Partner

The Peugeot Partner is a small van and high-roof estate from the French automaker Peugeot, built in three generations and technically identical to the Citroën Berlingo. The first generation, sold from 1996 as a high-roof estate or panel van, shared the Berlingo body apart from upholstery and options, won the Van of the Year title together with the Berlingo in 1997 and was sold in Italy as the Peugeot Ranch. It had inline four-cylinder petrol engines of 44 to 80 kW and diesels of 50 to 66 kW, and by 2008 about 570,000 had been sold across Europe, making it the most popular vehicle in its class. A 2003 facelift brought the raised Escapade version. The second generation, called the Partner Tepee, reached the German market on 5 May 2008 on the platform of the Citroën C4 and the Peugeot 308, was built at Vigo in Spain and gained an electric van in September 2014. The third generation, from 2018, is a panel van built at Vigo and at Mangualde in Portugal, with the passenger version sold as the Rifter, and an electric e-Partner with a range of up to 275 km by the WLTP cycle was shown in January 2021. In Brazil the first generation was built until 2021 and was followed by the Partner Rapid.
