Peugeot's Israeli importer, Groupe Lubinski, is introducing the Peugeot Traveler, a premium passenger van variant of the commercial Expert model, to the Israeli market. This move aims to differentiate Peugeot within the Stellantis group's more mainstream brands. Unlike many commercial vans where models from different brands are identical, Peugeot is positioning the Traveler as a distinct, upscale offering, similar to how the Rifter was introduced as a more refined alternative to the Citroën Berlingo.
The Traveler is powered by a 2.2-liter diesel engine producing 180 horsepower and 40.8 kgm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Fuel efficiency is rated between 14 to 14.2 km per liter, depending on the body configuration. The van offers seating for up to nine passengers in a 3+3+3 layout and will be available in two lengths: a 4.98-meter "Medium" version priced at NIS 299,000 with 798 liters of cargo space behind the third row, and a 5.33-meter "Large" version for NIS 309,000 with 1,384 liters of cargo space.
Cargo capacity expands significantly when the third row is folded or removed, reaching up to 2,381 liters in the Medium version and 2,932 liters in the Large version with the third row completely removed. Payload capacity is 1,017 kg for the Medium and 996 kg for the Large, with a towing capacity of 600 kg for both. This towing capacity is lower than that of the Fiat Ulysse and Toyota Proace Verso, which offer 750/1,900 kg and 750 kg respectively.
The Traveler comes in a single, well-equipped trim level, featuring keyless entry and start, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10-inch multimedia screen with wireless smartphone connectivity, a rearview camera with a top-view display, parking sensors, and dual-zone climate control with a separate rear AC system. It also includes a panoramic sunroof, heated steering wheel, automatic headlights and wipers, an electric parking brake, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, traffic sign recognition, and a driver monitoring system, along with six airbags for the front occupants. Compared to the Fiat Ulysse, the Traveler lacks electric sliding doors and a higher speaker count but includes a panoramic roof and adaptive cruise control. The Toyota Proace Verso, while cheaper, omits several advanced safety and convenience features found in the Peugeot.
