Peugeot Traveller Lease Deals

Sold in the UK as the All Electric E-Traveller

The first thing to know is that Peugeot stopped selling petrol and diesel Travellers in the UK in January 2022 and has sold the car here as the fully electric E-Traveller ever since. If you are looking at a diesel Traveller in a listing or a comparison table, you are looking at a vehicle Peugeot no longer sells new in this country, and there are a great many of those still in the trade data.

The current car uses a 75kWh battery, of which 68kWh is usable, driving a 100kW, 136hp motor through the front wheels. It replaced a 50kWh version in a substantial 2023 update that also brought new body lengths, a 10 inch touchscreen and digital instruments. If a listing shows a 50kWh battery, that is the older car, and battery size is a far more reliable way to date a Traveller than the trim name, because the UK kept Active and Allure right through the change.

Seats, Sizes and the Roof Height

Between five and nine seats depending on the version you choose, with six, seven, eight and nine seat configurations all sold in the UK. You will see eight quoted as the maximum, including on Peugeot's own model page, but its press material says up to nine and franchised dealers list a nine seat Combi, so nine is available if you need it. Allure trim offers a lounge layout with four individual seats facing each other around a retractable table, which is genuinely useful if the vehicle is carrying clients rather than children.

Two body lengths: Standard at 4.98 metres and Long at 5.33 metres. Both are 1.90 metres wide excluding mirrors.

The number that matters most in daily use is the height. At 1.90 metres the Traveller fits under the great majority of UK multi storey car park barriers, which are commonly set at two metres. That is the practical difference between this and a high roof minibus, and it is the reason a lot of operators choose this shape of vehicle over something taller with the same seat count.

Range and Charging

Peugeot's most recent certified statement is up to 219 miles on the WLTP cycle, and that is the figure we would plan around. We will be straight with you: you will find higher numbers quoted, including on Peugeot's own website, which gives 230 miles in one place and 219 in another. We are using the more conservative of Peugeot's own figures because it is the most recent and it matches the trade data on the volume derivative, and we will confirm the certified figure for your exact specification on the quote.

Our electric car leasing pages cover the rest of the electric range, and the charging networks guide is worth a read if this is your first electric vehicle. Charging is up to 100kW on a DC rapid charger, taking around 45 minutes from 20 to 80 per cent. The on board AC charger is 7.4kW as standard with an 11kW three phase unit optional, which is worth specifying if you have three phase power at a depot, because it roughly halves an overnight charge. In lease data the three phase option usually shows up as an 11kW suffix in the derivative name.

For a vehicle used on local and regional work, 219 miles is comfortable. For long distance motorway running with nine people and their luggage aboard, it is tighter than the headline suggests, because a full vehicle at motorway speed is the hardest case for any electric van derived MPV. Worth being honest about before you commit to a mileage.

Luggage Space

Peugeot quotes luggage capacity by seat count rather than by body length. The figure most operators actually need is up to 1,500 litres with nine people on board, which is the one that tells you whether a full vehicle can also carry the bags.

Take it down to five seats and that rises to around 3,000 litres, and with the rear seats removed entirely you have up to 4,900 litres, which puts it into genuine van territory. Peugeot publishes several different maximum figures across its own pages, so we would treat the 1,500 litre number as the dependable one and ask us to confirm the rest against the official price list for the configuration you want.

How Safe Is the Peugeot Traveller?

This needs explaining properly, because almost everything published about it is either out of date or from the wrong scheme.

The Traveller family holds a five star Euro NCAP rating from December 2015, with 87 per cent for adult occupant protection, 91 per cent for child occupant protection, 64 per cent for pedestrian protection and 78 per cent for safety assistance. Euro NCAP tested the Traveller directly, and it was good enough that the rating was also applied to the Toyota Proace, which Euro NCAP described as identical to the Traveller in all safety related respects.

Two important caveats. The car Euro NCAP tested was a 2.0 litre diesel, so the rating predates the electric version existing at all. And Euro NCAP ratings have a published shelf life, six years for most vehicles and eight for those tested as heavy vehicles, which means this rating has expired and there is no current Euro NCAP result covering the E-Traveller.

You may also see this vehicle credited with four stars or a gold medal. Those belong to the Peugeot Expert van under Euro NCAP's Commercial Van Safety scheme, which is a completely different assessment. It awards medals rather than stars, it tests only driver assistance systems with the van half loaded, and it involves no crash testing at all. The Traveller and E-Traveller are not named in it. So if a comparison shows this vehicle as a current four star car, that number has come from the wrong scheme and the wrong vehicle.

A Car for Tax, Not a Van

This catches people out and it is worth getting right before you order, because the Traveller looks like a commercial vehicle, shares its platform with the Expert van and is often sold through commercial channels.

For VAT it is a motor car. HMRC treats a vehicle built or adapted mainly for carrying passengers as a motor car, and the relevant exclusion applies to vehicles capable of carrying twelve or more seated people. The E-Traveller tops out at nine, so it does not clear that threshold and input VAT is generally blocked.

For Benefit in Kind it is also a car. The goods vehicle exception requires a vehicle constructed primarily for carrying goods, HMRC is explicit that goods does not include people, and it is a test of construction rather than how you actually use it. A glazed eight or nine seat MPV does not meet it. This is not the genuinely contested territory you may have read about, which concerned crew vans with a load area rather than passenger MPVs.

Benefit in Kind and VAT rules are set per tax year and we are a credit broker rather than a tax adviser, so take the specifics to your accountant before you plan around them. Our business leasing guides cover the groundwork, and if the vehicle is going on a business agreement tell us and we will make sure it is quoted correctly.

Leasing a Peugeot Traveller

Two numbers drive most of your monthly cost: the initial rental and your annual mileage. A larger initial rental brings the monthly figure down, and the mileage you choose sets the contract. Excess mileage is charged at the end of the agreement, so give us the honest number rather than the optimistic one.

The E-Traveller qualifies for the Electric Car Grant in Band 2, which Peugeot UK confirmed in September 2025. Peugeot covers the vehicle for three years, with unlimited mileage in the first two and a mileage cap in the third, and the traction battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles.

Three things we will not print, and the reason why. Peugeot does not publish a payload or gross vehicle weight for the current 75kWh vehicle on its website, and both sit in its official price list rather than on any public page. Nor does it publish a braked towing figure for the 75kWh car; the only figure available is for the superseded 50kWh version, and since the newer battery is heavier, carrying that across would be guesswork. If payload, weight or towing matter to your operation, ask us and we will get all three confirmed from the official price list for the exact derivative before you commit to anything.

Finally, be careful reading listings on this vehicle, because the trade data is messier than on almost anything else we sell. Historic diesel derivatives and superseded 50kWh electric derivatives both persist, and the stale electric ones are the harder trap because they are at least the right fuel. Use the battery size as your date stamp: 75kWh is the current car, 50kWh is not. Send anything that looks inconsistent over to us.
