2022 Peugeot Expert price and specs

A refresh of the mid-size 2022 Peugeot Expert van range is due to arrive in Australia early next year.

The range now crosses four specification levels, with a long-wheelbase (LWB) manual option joining the mid-tier 'Pro' grade. Equipment includes four airbags, twin-sliding side doors and 180-degree barn doors at the rear.

Pricing starts from $38,990 (2022 Peugeot Expert City SWB manual) which is $1000 less than the current 2021 Peugeot Expert 150HDI SWB manual ($39,990).

Other prices have been raised slightly to suit new equipment levels – for example, a 2021 Expert 150HDI LWB auto ($44,190) has morphed into the 2022 Expert Pro LWB auto ($44,990).

Power in City, Pro and Premium models comes from a 110kW/370Nm 2.0-litre turbo diesel four-cylinder, with a combined fuel consumption claim of 6.0L/100km in manual and 6.3L/100km in automatic models.

The limited edition short-wheelbase 'Sport' model receives a higher-output 130kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine, which is currently found in LWB Expert 180HDI models.

All models include a three-seat interior (with a two-up passenger bench seat) and a glazed bulkhead between the passenger cabin and load area.

Pro grade vehicles benefit from a 7.0-inch colour touchscreen with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as a suite of safety systems including blind-spot monitoring, autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.

The Premium package is essentially an option added to automatic Expert 'Pro' models and adds colour-coded bumpers and trim pieces, 17-inch alloy wheels and a 'Moduwork' flip-down table and load-through hatch which adds an extra 500 litres of storage space.

Available only as a short-wheelbase vehicle with an automatic transmission, the limited-edition Sport model improves performance with a high-output 130kW/400Nm version of the 2.0-litre diesel, plus 17-inch black alloy wheels, a head-up display, keyless entry, xenon headlamps and (naturally) a Sport decal kit.

We're a bit disappointed it doesn't use historic Peugeot-Talbot Sport tri-colour livery, but as noted by Peugeot, the brand expects the level of equipment and the more premium look of the Expert Sport to attract buyers away from more traditional double-cab utes.

The 2022 Peugeot Expert range will arrive in Australian showrooms in the first quarter of 2022 (January to March inclusive).

Note: All prices above exclude on-road costs.
