PEUGEOT TRAVELER, 2.0TD (150 HP), A6

Manufacturer — Peugeot Citroen RUS, Russia
Year of issue — 2021
In operation “Behind the wheel” – from May 2022
Mileage at time of report – 39,000 km

With the help of Peugeot Traveler, we want to find out whether it is a worthy replacement for popular crossovers and whether it is in principle useful to use it as a personal (family) car.

First impression? Positive!

First, it has a fantastic capacity: three full rows of seats, a 1384 liter trunk, a convenient transformation.

Secondly, from a car with a length of 5.3 m and a total weight of 3 tons, you do not expect fuel consumption like a compact passenger car. In city-highway mode, a minibus with a 150 hp 2-litre diesel engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission consumes just 8.5 l/100 km.

Limits? There is

For example, you cannot park the Traveler everywhere. And you have to maneuver carefully.
