To coincide with the launch of the Peugeot ‘New Partner’ van and the Peugeot Bipper, the existing Peugeot Partner model is being renamed the Partner Origin. It will continue to be available with 600kg and 800kg payloads as at present but will only be offered in the basic ‘L’ specification.

Despite the advantages of the New Partner model (marginally higher payload, extra creature comforts and choice of updated engines), the Partner Origin offers a cost-effective, reliable and thoroughly capable small van solution that’s been tried and tested and has sold over 61,000 units in the UK alone.

Now might be a good time to grab a bargain, as the model will eventually be discontinued.
