Concretely, there is not much that differentiates all these restyled utility vehicles from the Stellantis Group brands, apart from the grille. The published photos show the new Peugeot Partner, Expert and Boxer, such as Fiat Doblo, Scudo and Ducato, Opel Combo, Vivaro and Movano, Citroën Berlingo Van, Jumpy and Jumper. The guideline is the same, and the new grille present on each model can firstly highlight the different logos of each of the Stellantis group brands, almost all of which have been renewed in recent months. If, on the outside, the restylings are hardly perceptible, inside, the passenger compartments change more radically. The dashboard is completely revised with, for the high-end versions, a digital instrument cluster which is attached behind the steering wheel, while the 10-inch central touch screen is still there.

Finally convincing ranges for large vans
Under the hood, there are also changes, particularly on the side of electric models, which will adapt a little better to the use of certain professionals. For the largest vans, that is to say for the Peugeot e-Boxer, Citroën Jumper and their colleagues from Fiat and Opel, power increases from 122 to 207 hp, while torque increases to 400 Nm. This isn’t exactly luxury for models meant to carry heavy loads.

0 to 80% in one hour
Also, pros will finally be able to drive at 130 km/h with their electric models from Stellantis without necessarily constantly looking at the electron gauge. The battery goes from 70 to 110 kWh capacity, enough to offer 420 km on a single charge compared to 330 km previously. The charging power is announced at 150 kW, enough to go from 0 to 80% “in less than an hour” promises Stellantis.
On small models, the Citroën Berlingo and its equivalent cousins, the old 50 kWh battery gives way to a 51 kWh accumulator. Even if Stellantis does not claim it, it is certainly the same battery as the new Peugeot e-208. And the diesel in all this? It still represents the majority of sales in our country, of course, but nothing changes in absolute terms, except that the 2.2-liter four-cylinder 140 or 182 hp of the Fiat Ducato should gradually become more widely available on other models. , notably thanks to the proven reliability of this block.

Utilities “forced” to be more technological
It should also be noted that technically each model adopts certain specificities, depending on the manufacturer it supports. Thus, for Citroën, hydraulic stops appear on small vans, as do the “advanced comfort” seats which are now standard everywhere. At Peugeot, there are more technologies with new driving assistance, 360 degree vision and, of course, the inevitable i-Cockpit with the small steering wheelt. At Fiat, the interior rearview mirror becomes digital. Practical when the rear window is obstructed.

For the moment, Stellantis has not yet revealed the prices of its entire range of vans, but they should overall be a little higher compared to outgoing models, particularly with the addition of new driving assistance technologies with , For example a lane keeping system which becomes mandatory from July 1, 2024 due to the evolution of European standards. All vans will be connected from the end of 2023, and will be able to receive remote updates from 2026.
