Peugeot Traveller MPV offers up to nine seats

A new Peugeot MPV with seating for up to nine will launch at March’s Geneva Motor Show. The Peugeot Traveller is a sister model to both the Citroen SpaceTourer and Toyota Proace.

It boasts a five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating and will be powered by BlueHDi diesel engines that comply with the latest Euro 6 emissions regulations. Power outputs range from 94 to 178bhp, with the most efficient version returning 55.3mpg and 133g/km CO2 emissions.
