Peugeot Traveller debuts at Geneva as PSA-Toyota MPV trio arrives
Peugeot has unveiled the Traveller MPV at the Geneva Motor Show, joining Citroën and Toyota in launching new van-based people carriers on a shared platform.
Peugeot has launched the new Traveller at the Geneva Motor Show, introducing its latest MPV on a platform shared with Citroën and Toyota. The Traveller is aimed at both private buyers and professional shuttle operators, and forms part of a trio of van-based people carriers jointly developed by PSA and Toyota.
The Traveller is offered in three body lengths: Compact at 4.60 metres, Standard at 4.95 metres and Long at 5.30 metres. With seating for up to nine, the Traveller can be configured for families, airport transfers or executive shuttles. Boot space starts at 1,500 litres and can reach 4,900 litres by removing the rear seats.
Trim levels and seating configurations
Peugeot splits the Traveller range between private and business use. Private buyers get the Combispace variant, available with Active and Allure trims and seating for five, seven or eight. For shuttle and chauffeur operators, the Traveller Business comes in five to nine seat layouts, while the Business VIP version offers six or seven seats in a lounge-style configuration, including four individual seats facing each other or a third-row bench.
Features for higher trims include a panoramic glass roof with LED ambient lighting, individual reading lamps and a multi-zone climate control system with soft air diffusion. The Business VIP model targets executive transport, with flexible seating and upgraded interior materials.
Engine range and transmissions
Engine options depend on market, but the Traveller offers four diesel units: two 1.6-litre engines producing either 95 or 115 horsepower, and two 2.0-litre units with 150 or 180 horsepower. Gearbox choices include a five-speed manual, a six-speed manual and an ETG6 automatic. All engines are Euro 6 compliant.
The Traveller launches alongside the Citroën Spacetourer and Toyota Proace, all built on the same PSA-Toyota platform. The three models are aimed at the growing European market for MPVs that can serve as both family vehicles and professional shuttles.
