Peugeot Partner 2008–2012 car dimensions: 4380 mm long, 1810 mm wide and 1803 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,472 kg. Braked towing is 1,300 kg.
The cabin offers a high seating position with good all-round visibility and plenty of practical storage cubbies in the dash, doors and under the seats. Manual air conditioning is standard on Outdoor grades and optional on others, while dual-zone climate appears on higher specs. Cruise control with speed limiter is fitted as standard on Outdoor and available as an option elsewhere. Rear parking sensors are offered as an option on mid and top grades. Side and curtain airbags join the standard front pair on better-equipped versions. No factory touchscreen, smartphone mirroring or advanced driver aids such as AEB appear in the published equipment lists for this generation.
Boot space measures 675 litres under the parcel shelf with the rear seats in place, rising to 1350 litres to the roof line. Removing the rear seats creates a flat load floor and expands capacity to 3000 litres, making the vehicle highly adaptable for mixed passenger and cargo duties.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1300 kg on most variants, with unbraked figures around 750 kg. Payload sits near 550 kg once the driver is accounted for, giving solid everyday work capability without excess weight. The Outdoor grade adds raised suspension and an under-engine protection tray for light off-road or rough-road use, while the modular rear seats and low load sill support flexible loading of tools or leisure gear.
The cabin offers high headroom of over 1 m and elbow room near 1.5 m for all passengers, with rear seats raised slightly for better view. Modular rear bench or independent seats fold and remove for space. High noise insulation lets the audio fill the cabin. Optional Zenith roof floods light through four glass panels and adds overhead storage plus rear air vents. Dual-zone climate control is available on higher grades for even temperature. Front seat heating is offered in cold markets.
Petrol engines use 8.2 l/100 km combined. diesels use 5.6-5.7 l/100 km combined.
Service intervals reach 20,000 miles or 2 years, shorter at 12,500 miles for some HDi diesels.
Up to six airbags available, with front pair standard and side/curtain on higher grades or options.
ABS with electronic brake force distribution and emergency brake assist standard.
ISOFIX points on front passenger and outer rear seats.
Equivalent model scored three stars in Euro NCAP.
Fuel use stays modest for the size. Petrol 1.6 versions return 8.2 litres per 100 km on the combined cycle. Diesel 1.6 HDi options drop to 5.6 or 5.7 litres per 100 km combined, with CO2 from 147 g/km on the cleanest FAP units.
Servicing follows extended intervals of up to 20,000 miles or two years on most engines. The 1.6 HDi diesels need attention every 12,500 miles. A service indicator tracks remaining distance and time based on driving style.
Safety starts with a rigid body structure and four-wheel disc brakes. ABS, EBD and brake assist come standard. Front airbags are fitted across the range. side and curtain airbags appear on higher grades or as options for a total of six. All seats have three-point belts, height-adjustable in front, plus ISOFIX anchors.
Living with the car means easy access via sliding side doors and a tall, modular cabin that swallows gear. Keep the service book up to date and the diesels run cleanly for years. The optional Zenith roof and climate pack make long trips more pleasant without raising running costs much.
