What Van? Van of the Year awarded to Peugeot Expert

That What Van? Awards 2017 have recently been announced and the Peugeot Expert has come out on top in the Light Commercial and Medium Commercial categories proving that they are not just the most distinctive vans on the road but also the most comfortable, affordable and economical.

2017 is proving to be a great year for Peugeot with the New 3008 SUV winning CarBuyer’s Car of the Year award and with the recent news that the Peugeot Expert van has won the top accolade, personal and business drivers are starting to take notice of Peugeot’s bold new direction in the automotive industry.

The New Expert is the distinctive new addition to Peugeot’s already impressive commercial range and with its relatively small footprint, massive loadspace and hefty carrying weight, it suits most business’ needs. Fitted with a large range of highly economical BlueHDi Stop & Start engines, drivers can expect up to 55.4 mpg on a combined journey (a mixture of rural, urban and motorway driving).

No matter what your business, you’ll find an Expert that suits your needs. It comes in a choice of three lengths: Compact, Standard and Long and take a massive load of 1400kg in whatever configuration you choose.

Beating the multiple other contenders within these categories including the Ford Transit Custom and the Volkswagen Caddy, Peugeot are proud to be head of the pack.

James Dallas (Editor of What Van?) commented “The Peugeot Expert represents a big step up compared with its predecessor in terms of quality, refinement and practicality. It should propel the brand to the forefront of what is a very competitive market sector. The new Expert van brings useful innovations to the market and it now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best medium vans on offer.

The Compact version of the new Expert breaks new ground in the sector and gives its manufacturer a significant advantage over the competition – particularly with urban operators”.

Nick Crossley (from Peugeot UK Marketing”) claimed “The all-new Peugeot Expert van fully deserves this accolade and we are very happy to receive this award from What Van? magazine. I know British-designer Keith Ryder and his development team will be delighted with this award, for it recognises their expertise in this class-leading design. Our customers will also appreciate this news, as it vindicates their decision to choose the Expert van that is equipped with an extremely-competitive specification and compelling features – making it a fully-deserved ‘award-winning’ van”.
