Peugeot E-Traveller: New look, slightly more range

Like its corporate counterparts, the large E-Van is receiving a facelift, featuring better connectivity and driver assistance. On the drive side, it remains at 100 kW, but the range increases thanks to a heat pump and recuperation.

The Stellantis subsidiary Peugeot, like its sister brands Citroen, Opel, and Fiat, has presented its revised version of the electrically driven compact van. The E-Traveller is primarily aimed at commercial passenger transporters, but also at families with space needs. It still comes in two lengths of 4.98 and 5.33 meters, a height of 1.90 meters, and with up to nine seats. When fully occupied, there is still 1,500 liters of cargo volume, with five seats it's 3,000 liters, and with the seats removed, up to 4,900 liters.

In terms of propulsion, the 100 kW synchronous electric motor of the predecessor remains, which sends 260 Nm to the front wheels. Nevertheless, efficiency is said to have improved, with the range subtly increasing to 350 kilometers with the 75 kWh battery and 224 kilometers with the smaller 50 kWh module, thanks in part to a new, three-stage recuperation via steering wheel paddles. The charging technology also remains, with a decent 100 kW in DC and 11 kW in AC. In DC, it is said to take half an hour to go from 0 to 80 percent with the 50 kWh battery, and 45 minutes with the 75 kWh battery.

The digital instrument cluster and the large central touchscreen with new HD infotainment and 3D navigation, each in 10 inches size, offer safety and functionality in everyday life. There are more and larger storage compartments, especially in the upper part of the dashboard and in the center console. The lower part of the dashboard is equipped with a new, practical and compact e-Toggle automatic shift. Additionally, there is an inductive charging pad, and the smartphone can also be wirelessly docked to the infotainment system.

Driver assistance also benefits, so that in addition to a fatigue warning, traffic sign recognition, lane keeping assist, Active Safety Brake with pedestrian and cyclist detection, cruise control and speed limiter, an automatic speed control ACC with STOP & GO function is now also available.
