Peugeot’s new Partner Tepee will replace the current Partner Combi and will become the latest addition to the Peugeot Tepee range.
Two Tepee versions will be available, the standard version and an Outdoor version aimed at customers who enjoy exploring locations off the beaten track.
The original Partner Combi was launched in November 2002 and since its launch over 16,000 vehicles have been sold in the UK.Sharing the same length as a typical family hatchback, but with a great deal more interior space and greater rear accessibility thanks to the two sliding side doors, the Partner Tepee is the ideal family car. |

The Partner Tepee provides optimal protection for all occupants in a high speed front impact due to its three front impact absorption structures, lower, middle and upper. The lower impact structure also enhances pedestrian impact protection and helps to reduce repair costs in low speed impacts.
In the event of a side impact, occupants are protected by a reinforced B/C post, the doors and the seat structure. At the rear, a rear impact beam and the specially designed rear structure deform in a controlled manner, thereby providing optimal protection and limiting repair costs.
The Partner Tepee can be equipped with up to six airbags according to the particular model. All seats are fitted with three point inertia reel seat belts and the front seatbelts are height adjustable.
For children, Isofix three-point mountings are fitted on the front passenger seat and the rear outer seats. An illuminated warning and audible alarm indicate if the front seat belts have not been fastened.
Three primary safety systems are also available: a “tyre under-inflation detection” system, a first in this market segment, speed limiter/cruise control andElectronic Stability Program, combined with a traction control system and a hill-start assistance function. A range of 1.6 petrol engines and diesel engines will be available. |
