THRIVE verdict
A strong payload and load volume for its class, at a price in the lowest quarter of small vans.
This Partner XL combines a payload of 936kg and 3.9m³ load volume, both in the highest quarter of small vans in the THRIVE database, with a list price in the lowest quarter. That's a useful combination for trades carrying bulky or heavy loads daily without wanting to pay a premium for the privilege.
It sits in the lowest price quarter among small vans, priced close to the Citroën Berlingo XL and cheaper than the Toyota Proace City Icon, both of which offer the same 100hp diesel output. Fuel economy of 46mpg is in the lowest quarter of diesel small vans though, so it trails rivals like the Proace City on that measure.
Towing is capped at 1,030kg, exactly the class median rather than a standout figure, so this isn't the van to pick if regular braked trailer work is central to the job. The electric E-Partner sister model carries less payload and has a 180 mile range, costing £2,985 more after grant, a trade-off worth weighing against mileage and charging patterns.
Best for
- Trades needing high payload in a compact van
- Businesses wanting strong load volume on a budget
- Fleets carrying two pallets with wheel-arch clearance
Think twice
- Fuel economy trails other diesel small vans
- Towing capacity is only at the class median
- Check electric E-Partner's lower payload and 180 mile range against price gap

What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 2, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 2, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Too long for the floor |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 2.1m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 2,167mm, 1,229mm between the wheel arches, 1,270mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 460kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,120mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Could you go electric?
How this van compares with Peugeot E-PARTNER Panel Van XL ELECTRIC 136hp Automatic Professional Plus, the same body with the other powertrain, for a typical working day.
Electric could work: check the points below
- Range. 100 miles a day sits comfortably inside a planning range of about 126 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 245kg less (691kg against 936kg).
- Towing. Braked towing: 750kg electric, 1,030kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 8.1p a mile against 16.4p for diesel: roughly £2,075 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £2,985 more after the £2,500 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 1.4 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Loads that use the last 245kg of the diesel's payload.
- Towing more than 750kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 180-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.282 kWh a mile: the usable battery divided by the official range.
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Peugeot PARTNER Panel Van XL DIESEL 100hp Manual Professional Plus's official 46mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.
