Peugeot Partner Tepee Allure 1.6 BlueHDi 120 EUR6

It is difficult for everyone to afford a car for the soul, sometimes it is necessary to be rational and combine several factors. A sports coupe is easily overlooked by a family (although a father would probably be happy to have one), and a solo driver with a family minivan isn't a winning combination either. However, the right combination for many families is a multi-purpose vehicle like the Peugeot Partner, especially in the top Tepee version. In terms of usability, the shape is negligible.

But both Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner have made sure that their shape becomes an integral part of our daily life. There are also many such cars on the roads of Slovenia. Such as test wigwams were intended for family use, ordinary ones, maybe even without rear windows, and of course business ones. And then there are third users of these machines, who use such a machine for business purposes in the morning, and in the afternoon the "work" car turns into a decent family transport. In both cases, the usability stands out more than the form.

For business use, a large and accessible trunk is convenient, and for family use, a rear side sliding door makes access to the rear bench much easier. Well, the test car didn't have a rear bench at all, as the car instead had three individual seats followed by two more seats. The seven-seat combination makes it possible to carry seven people, but on the other hand, there is less space inside due to the extra seats. Even at the back, only the backrests can be folded, and everything else will remain in the trunk. And this means that because of them it is extremely small, in addition, many people will miss the rear roll, which is not due to the sixth and seventh seats. But the missing roll doesn't ruin family enjoyment. The test car comes with a range of safety and assistance systems for a decent price.

Some also use additional equipment, but in the end the car is equipped with a 120 "horsepower" diesel engine, which consumes an average of 4 to 5 liters per 100 kilometers, and, among other things, one engine. navigation device, reversing camera and automatic emergency braking system at a price of just over 18 2.800 euros. And this is with seven seats. However, if the driver or family does not need them, they can be easily removed in both the second and second row and get up to XNUMX cubic decimeters of usable volume. Then you still wonder why self-employed people love him so much?
